Not much activity on the blog since my Antarctica trip; however, I would hate to forget about my Challenge updates. Jen and I continue to challenge each other each month, and December 2016’s challenge was a good one. I had give/get two hugs per day. With the holidays, a work trip to Costa Rica, and my birthday all taking place in December I am happy to report that the challenge was a big success.

Moving forward, Jen challenged me to a 3-month challenge from Jan-Mar, 2017. We are halfway through Feb. 2017 and so far everything is going well. More regular (and detailed) updates coming in the months to come… I promise!
