Introducing: WANDERTOGETHER

Some, most, ok probably ALL of the changes I’ve been making to this blog so far are fairly subtle. The header, title, catch line tag line thing, all updated. If you navigate to the “About” page you’ll find the new write up is no longer about ME (*gasp*) and now is about Abbi and I.…
