This Is Why I Like Maine

Yes, I always hold my cards this way. STOP CHEATING BY LOOKING! The first year of marriage was rough. The Wife was not happy. The Husband was not happy. There's a correlation there, but we won't get into it. We had 17 sets of guests come to visit us in our first 12 months of marriage. Many were family members, showing their support for us living in Utah by making the trek from Florida to visit (and ski). Friends came out to ski. Friends came to hang out. We were busy. In our first six weeks in Maine, we've had six sets of guests, putting us on pace for 52 sets of visitors over our first year back in Portland. You might expect the pace to slow down, but there's skiing in Portland and I'm actually closer to my family in Florida, so who knows what the final tally might be. Perhaps we should wager on it. The thing is, we love it. The Wife was bouncing around the kitchen Monday morning after a workout. This is not normal activity on multiple levels. Our friends, Nutmeg&#
