Okay, okay before anyone goes completely crazy I know Halloween weekend is upon us (and we have some very fun plans in the works) and while it is no secret my favorite holiday EVER is Christmas, I strongly believe in no Christmas decorating or activities until the day after Thanksgiving. Give each holiday it’s rightful time and place. However, there is nothing wrong with planning is there?

Tucson Thoughts & Bites
Hello and happy Friday!!!
This week has been a whirlwind – exciting, exhausting, and wonderful. 🙂 I completed my first week at my new job and so far so good! I was in Tucson, Arizona Monday – Thursday for orientation and training and today was my first day in the DC office. I hope you have some fun weekend plans.
