If you follow me on twitter you know for the next two weeks I am Stateside visiting family and friends. I am spending this weekend with one of my favorite couples, Elena and Nick. Elena and I have been friends for years. We made a connection almost instantly when we were coworkers and she has been a constant source of light and positive energy since then. She and Nick recently welcomed a little girl, providing the perfect excuse for me to invade their home outside of Boston.
