This winter, you guys, I just don’t even know what to think. First Iceland throws me two terrible stormy winters, and now this winter which has nothing but amazing. Thank you weather gods, and please keep this up for the winters to come!
Now I wish I was here today to tell you about how the Viking and I spent all of the sunny weekend outside exploring but that wasn’t the case. I think more napping happened than exploring, but those naps, they were amazing.
In between all the napping we did manage to go out for a quick trip on a lovely sunny Saturday afternoon and wow was it beautiful!
I don’t think I will ever get over how awesome it is that I can be surrounded by beautiful nature with just a quick drive out of town!
While the weather was absolutely amazing for our adventure that turned out to be the only thing that worked in our favor. Our first stop ended up being closed for renovations, and then the next area on the list our little car couldn’t quite make it out to. Our last stop where we had planned to spend some time hiking turned out to be a bit to icy for my uncoordinated self.
So instead the day turned into just driving around with the sun on our faces enjoying the views. And those views were pretty wonderful.
The rest of our Valentine’s weekend was low key with the highlight being the chocolate covered strawberries we made for our Valentine’s dessert. When you live in the Arctic buying strawberries is a real treat! Life in the Arctic, it makes you appreciate the simple things in life!
Valentine’s Day is only recently becoming a more celebrated holiday here in Iceland, mainly thanks to businesses marketing Valentine treats. Since H didn’t celebrate Valentine’s when he was a kid I had to tell him some stories of how we used to celebrate Valentine’s Day back in primary school, those were the days!
Does anyone else remember spending the day before crafting a Valentine’s box covered in stickers to set on your desk to collect all the Valentine’s from your classmates. Carefully choosing each card making sure you didn’t accidentally give a “your cute” card to your crush and be traumatized for the rest of third grade ha. Oh to be young again.
Even if you don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day I think everyone can always use some treats in their life. I have teamed up with Give Me Iceland to send one lucky reader an Icelandic gift box full of tasty treats.
If you are an Iceland lover I recommend checking out Give Me Iceland, a monthly subscription box service where each month they will send you a package full of local Icelandic treats, how cool is that?! The subscription boxes will be the perfect way to fuel your love for Iceland in between trips. Enter the giveaway below for your chance to win this month’s box!
My Viking and I, we have had quite the love story. From Australia to Iceland and all the countries and visa issues in between it has been nothing short of an epic adventure.
When people hear the Viking and I’s story it is often met with a lot of “awe that is the sweetest story” or “how romantic”. While I think our love story is basically a fairytale (girl meets Viking, that sounds like a fairytale right?!) to be honest romantic is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of our love story.
Don’t get me wrong, my Viking, he knows how to spoil me, but when I think of all the visa issues and years apart that we went through it kinda loses the romance factor for me.
Thankfully those less romantic times are behind us and we now get to enjoy being a normal couple in the same country. And since it is Valentines weekend a little bit of romance on the blog seems more than appropriate. I’m not here to talk about that handsome Viking of mine though, no today I am here to talk about the romance I have with Iceland and its stunning landscapes.
Iceland is a hot spot right now and is known for a top destination for adventure loving people, but there is a romantic side of Iceland that can’t be forgotten about! With its rugged landscapes and gorgeous waterfalls, glaciers and beaches, Iceland is a country packed with beautiful nature. And what is more romantic than visiting breathtaking places with your loved one?
Head over to TripCreator to find my list of 8 of the most romantic places in Iceland. If you are currently in the country any of these spots would be a great place to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved one, or to add some romance to your Iceland trip anytime of the year!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Question of the Day?
Where is the most romantic place you have visited?
At the beginning of the year I did a reader survey where I opened the floor for you all to send me any questions you wanted to see answered on the blog. Aside from questions about the Viking and I (we all really are suckers for a love story aren’t we:) the most asked question was about my job in Iceland.
More specifically…
How did you find a job in Iceland? And what is your job?
Let’s rewind to two years ago when I was a stressed out job searching foreigner in Iceland.
While I was waiting to get my visa approved I started asking around to other foreigners for tips on where to look for work. The amount of negative feedback I got was unreal! I was constantly told that if I am not fluent in Icelandic I won’t find work. I would spend my days getting sucked into the negative threads on the foreigners living in Iceland FB groups that had me convinced I would never find a job in Iceland. It was really discouraging.
When I did get my job H told me I should post my story on one of those FB groups, I mean clearly they could use some positive vibes. I knew if I posted something it would only be met with negative feedback, but whenever I met new people they always seem to have the same discouraged feeling about finding work that I did. So instead I want to share my story here to encourage anyone out there looking for work abroad that it is possible. Warning this is a long one.
Back to my story.
Even though those FB groups were not encouraging at the time they were the main resource I had for stories from other foreigners living in Iceland who were lacking in the language skill department and looking for work. According to those in the “we hate Iceland and everyone else” FB group it sounded like my best chance to get a job was to look at a cafe or cleaning at a hotel. Not exactly my dream jobs, but I would take anything to start working again.
A lunchtime walk around the park next to my work
After three months of being in Iceland, getting more discouraged by the day from the negative talk around me, my visa was finally approved, and within the first few days of my visa being approved I landed myself a job at a cafe downtown. Let’s just say I worked one four hour shift never to return, it just wasn’t for me.
After this experience and a long conversation with my parents and the Viking I made a plan and decided to give myself three months of looking for job that would fulfill me. I didn’t move to Iceland just for a boy I needed to have my own life as well! And as I was moving to Iceland for the unforeseeable future it was really important to me that I was in a job that would help me grow in my professional career, and while there is nothing wrong with working at a cafe it just wasn’t what I wanted to do. At the end of the three months (the amount of time I would be able to continue living off my savings) if I had not found a job I would take whatever position I could get.
Step one in my plan to find a job: make a list of all the companies in the Reykjavik area that I knew had English speaking staff or an international faculty with English being one of the main languages.
As I was doing my research on this I was happily surprised to find that there are quite a few companies in Reykjavik with English as a main language of the office! From there I began contacting these companies to see if they had any position openings or internship opportunities. I contacted companies that had job positions listed, and others that didn’t have any job openings posted but I still wanted to check. And even if I saw a position listed only in Icelandic I still reached out to the company, fully disclosing my language skills, and half the time my lack of Icelandic was not a problem to be able to do the job.
In addition to reaching out to companies I began contacting anyone I knew in Iceland to send any job opening information my way. Networking really is key anywhere, but especially in a small community like Iceland it is all about who you know.
One of the places on my list happened to be the university, and I happened to know someone who worked at the university. I reached out to my friend and lucky for me she happened to know about a month long project at the university working in social media, a perfect fit for me. I applied and thankfully got the position creating social media accounts and starting up online marketing for a new program at the university.
This position, it was not paid much at all, and there was no guaranteed job at the end. But I knew that I just had to get my foot in the door so I took the chance. I know not everyone is able to take unpaid work so I feel really lucky to have had this opportunity. While it was a risk putting my job search on hold for a month (I was still looking I just didn’t have as much free time) I figured having work experience in an Icelandic company, even if it wasn’t paid, would benefit me in the long run.
And, lucky for me, just as I was in my last week of the project a full time position opened up in another department at the university. The position was only advertised in Icelandic but I went and talked to the supervisor asking if English was a problem, I figured why not? And you know what, the job actually needed a native English speaker if possible as the main language of the department was English. You really never know unless you ask!
After a stressful interview process (that lasted over two weeks with three different interviews!) and both the Viking and I crossing our fingers and toes I heard back from the university.
I had gotten the job!
Celebrating right after I found out I got the job.
I currently work at the university in Reykjavik handling the graduate programs in Computer Science (sidenote: I know very little about computer science so this is a bit comical) as well as handling marketing for the department and all international relations. This job has been so amazing for me and my co-workers are the best, they have quickly become my Icelandic family and have been there to support me no matter what.
I know my story is one of the lucky ones, not everyone moves abroad and is able to find work. But one thing I do believe is that if you want to find a good job while living abroad it is possible. I dealt with a lot of negative talk from other foreigners saying it isn’t possible to get a job in Iceland, one girl even said to me I only got my job because I look Icelandic. I fully disagree with this and believe we all have something special to add, so if you dream of working abroad I say go for it, keep reaching out and trying for that dream job of yours!
This beach is right behind my work!
If you are living abroad and looking for work, or planing a move abroad and unsure of how to go about the job search here are some tips that worked for me:
Reach out to companies
Don’t let your lack of language skills hold you back. I called several different companies to inquire about their job listings that had only been in Icelandic. When I asked if it was an issue that I was not fluent in Icelandic many of them said no, it was just something they had not about before.
Note: Many positions will require that you speak the native language. I recommend making a list of companies that you know have an international faculty with English being a main language used in the workplace and start with reaching out to them.
If possible do an internship
Still struggling to find work? Try contacting companies that you would be interested in working for and see if they have any internships available. Even if it is just for a short term project getting your foot in the door is what this is all about. Once the faculty has gotten to know you and seen your work skills it will make it much easier to have them look past the fact that you are not fluent in their native language and to see the benefits of hiring international staff.
Volunteer
Again, something that may not be possible if you are not able to work without making money, but getting your name into the community can be a great benefit in your future job search. I did a volunteer/internship for three months when I lived in Iceland a year before I officially moved here, just having that experience on my resume really helped me.
Network
No matter where you are in the world, it really is all about who you know. Look up events in your city that you think people in your field may be interested in (public talks, events at companies etc) and go to them. You never know who you will meet and where these connections can lead to. One time I went to a English pub quiz and got put on a team where I didn’t know anyone. By the end of the evening I had three new contacts who knew of possible job opportunities for English speakers in Iceland. You just never know who you will meet!
Build Your Skills
While you are in that transition phase of looking for work use this time to your advantage. Take that free online photography course you have been eyeing, sign up for a local course in your area, or you know start a blog:) Any extra skills will help you. I had only been blogging a few months when I got job and my skillset from blogging really helped put me above the other candidates for this position.
Icelandic horses working on their networking skills
These tips are from my own personal experience and coming from someone who was already in the country trying to find work. Obtaining a work visa to enter a country is an entire different game, one that I know is possible but can be difficult. But I think if you really want something, it is possible to find a way! Just look at my friend Jeannie, she dreamed of moving to Iceland and she found a way to make it happen by reaching out to companies here!
And there is my long-winded answer to how I found a job in Iceland :)
Question of the Day?
Would you like to work abroad? Any tips you would add?
This past Saturday the Viking and I packed up the car and got ready to head off for a quick weekend adventure. Before we could leave town we had a few errands to run so we were getting a later start to our day, and with our later start came some clouds and rain. Not the best weather, no big deal, we decided to stick with the plan and still head out for some exploring.
As we sat in traffic slowly making our way out of the city H and I started talking about how tired we were and what a busy week it had been. Before we had even made our way out of downtown we decided to turn around and head back home.
We were just too tired and burnt out for an adventure.
Life has been busy up here in the Arctic. These past few weeks have flown by in a blur and the Viking and I have hardly seen more than a few minutes of each other during the week. With crazy work schedules, Icelandic classes and extra freelance projects it is safe to say the Viking and I were feeling burnt out.
When we started the new year H and I knew January was going to be a crazy busy month for us both. We even made a plan that on Saturday’s we would unplug and do no work at all, a complete day off. These Saturday day offs quickly turned into the day that we could go off on an adventure, something we both really enjoying doing. But sometimes you need to know when to just take a break and do nothing, something that I struggle with.
But on Saturday when we were feeling more exhausted by the idea of an adventure than excited we both knew it was time for a break, from work and adventuring.
Sometimes you just need to spend a weekend doing nothing but relaxing on your couch. And that is exactly what the Viking and I did all weekend. While I love filling my weekends up with exploring Iceland my mind and my body so needed this relaxing weekend. This is one of the first Monday’s in a long time where I feel like I am starting the week refreshed and ready to tackle my to do list. Lazy weekends, they are good for you.
Now that I finally had the time to sit down and think let’s talk about the things that have been happening around my little neck of the tundra lately with some pictures that haven’t made the cut from our latest adventures.
Driving in the snow | Okay not the most exciting life update, but for me this is huge. Last winter I never once attempted to drive and relied on the Viking to carpool me around. This was fine, but it also made me rethink my own social schedule for things that required driving somewhere. For someone that has always been really independent having to rely on H to drive me everywhere was not an ideal situation.
Once the snow melted I forced myself to get behind the wheel and learn the Icelandic rules of the road. Being able to hop in the car and just go whenever I liked gave me such a new feeling of independence, and as silly as it may sound it really helped me feel more settled and in control of my life here in Iceland.
Fast forward to this winter, and the snow came back. I instantly panicked and decided I didn’t even want to try learning how to drive in the snow. Going from being able to drive wherever, go off and meet my friends and do my own thing without H to needed him to drive me around really was a blow. After about two months of this I finally decided I needed to suck it up and learn. It was terrifying at first, but now it is no problem and I am so happy that I can head off on my own adventures again without my chauffeur H.
Icelandic | For two weeks now I have been spending my Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Icelandic class, until 10 pm. Not going to lie, the class time is really not ideal, but I told myself I have to suck it up for these 10 weeks, Icelandic is not going to get into my mind on its own.
Even though I have only been in class for two weeks I have noticed such a huge difference in both my confidence in speaking and my understanding of the language. I can just feel this time around how much I want to learn for me, not because I think I have to learn, and that makes the world of difference.
There have even been some language wins, and even if they are small I want to celebrate them. The other day I had a conversation with a co-worker at the coffee machine where I spoke almost all Icelandic to her. Many of my co-workers speak Icelandic to me ( these co-workers know me and know my understanding level) but I always just respond back in English even if I know how to say the things back in Icelandic. Well not this time, I told myself I had to try and out came Icelandic. I have been trying everyday to just throw in Icelandic words for things I know how to say and can feel my confidence in speaking the language increasing.
I have to give a shout out to my Viking. Never once has he ever pressured me to learn Icelandic, but he has always supported me when I am trying, which means he now gets to spend lots of time helping me with my homework. This usually involves me having him repeat a word over and over while I watch how his mouth moves so I can try and figure out how to say the sounds, homework time is fun at our house:)
I think I should start practicing Icelandic with the Icelandic horses, they would make for some cute study partners:)
Visa Renewal | Speaking of language wins, last week I had to make the dreaded drive down to the immigration office to renew my visa. I told H I wanted to do it myself this time and I practiced a few sentences in Icelandic that I could say to the immigration.
As I waited my turn I kept saying those sentences over and over, I am not going to lie I was so nervous I really just wanted to rely on English like I always do.
But I walked up there, said my practiced sentences and I have never had a better experience at the immigration! I am not kidding, by the end the woman wanted to hear my whole life story and put a rush order on my card so that I could be sure to have it before I went abroad next month. Amazing!
Scotland Recommendations??? | Okay enough talk about all these wins for me, lets talk travel. You guys always give me the best ideas when it comes to travel tips so I am coming to you again.
The Viking and I are going to Scotland this May, and while this is still a few months away we are currently trying to plan out our itinerary. We are planning on spending four days driving around the highlands and are working on figuring out the best path to fit in all the stops we want to see and what are the best places to stay overnight. If you have been to Scotland and have any tips, must see places or things you loved I would love to hear about them in the comments!
Pescetarian Month | When it comes to diets the Viking and I are on the opposite side of the spectrum, he is your typical meat and potatoes kind of guy, and I have been known to play around with a vegan diet. I am always trying to add more vegeterirain dinners to our weekly meal plan in attempts to convince the Viking that we don’t need to buy meat anymore. So far this has been somewhat successful, but this moth we have a big win.
For the month of February (because it is the shortest month of the year) H decided to met me half way for a pescetarian month. I am loving making new recipes and after the lentil burgers I made over the weekend I might have my Viking convinced that we don’t need to have meat in our lives all the time. We are only one week in so we will see how this continues. Any fish or vegetarian recipes you love? Let me know in the comments!
While I have had a lot of wins lately one thing is pretty certain after our past few adventures, I still have some work to do when it comes to walking in the snow.
I look super confident here, but a few seconds later…
And one second later… I fell, and then rolled, and was covered in snow.
I am just here to provide entertainment for my Viking. He turns around for one minute and then turns back to find me laughing so hard rolling around on the ground. I like to keep thing alive in the relationship, I mean what is sexier than helping get snow out of my clothes am I right?!
As my Dad would say, there is your newsy letter for the day. While nothing on here is monumental I am trying to be better about recognizing the small accomplishments and I encourage you all to do the same! Celebrating any kind of success is important, and it really helps me stay motivated to keep working hard.
And with that I am off to tackle that long to do list of mine for the week. Happy Monday!
Question of the Day?
Have you been to Scotland? Any recommendations? What is a win in your life lately?
As I sit here watching the harsh Icelandic wind blow the snow around like a tornado I can’t help but dream of a trip somewhere warm and sunny.
Why oh why did the Viking and I not plan a winter beach escape?!
Since I don’t yet have that luxury of just packing a bag and heading off on a last minute adventure I am attempting to cure my sun need by looking through pictures from warmer days, which is basically the same thing right???
Okay not really, all that this has accomplished is it has made me want to go on an adventure abroad even more! Soon this will be happening, be patient Kaelene.
One thing I can do right now, take you all on an adventure with me back to warmer days from this past September when I joined 40 other Icelanders in Prague.
It is no secret that Prague is known for being one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. With a castle looking over the city from above, a beautiful river running through the middle and charming colorful houses lining the streets this city more than holds up to its reputation.
The Viking and I spent as much time as we could roaming the streets in Prague with no real plan other than to just see where we would end up. This plan took us to some beautiful parks, the most amazing library, and had us stumbling onto a few festivals that required a wine pitstop.
Oh to be back in Prague.
Lets all pretend we are strolling the charming streets of Prague with a trdelník in one hand and a camera in the other…
This purple door, this made my door obsessed self oh so happy!
When researching for our trip to Prague I discovered this beautiful library and knew we had to visit. If you are in Prague be sure to check out the Klementinum library, you have to see this library in person to fully appreciate its beauty!
During our time in Prague a group of us did a running tour. This was such a fun way to explore the city and see some great views, and perfect for me as I was in the middle of marathon training at the time, double win!
I don’t know about you all but I am the type of traveler that after I leave a place my appreciation for its beauty and charm just continues to grow. And after going through our Prague pictures I feel so lucky that I had the chance to visit such a gorgeous place.
Travel, it really is just the best!
Happy Friday everyone:)
Question of the Day?
Have you been to Prague? What is the most beautiful city you have visited?
Can we just take a minute to appreciate this sunrise! The sun may take its time arriving during the winter but when it does it certainly knows how to make an entrance!
Okay, on to today’s post.
Last year I set myself the goal of reading 50 books. The purpose behind this goal was to get me back into the habit of reading, something that I have always enjoyed but somewhere down the road stopped making time for. With 50 books to read I made sure to make reading a priority in my life, and not to long into my goal I found myself sneaking in reading a few pages whenever I could, my love for reading was back!
After reaching my goal in December I kept my reading mojo going all through the Christmas holiday, where I read five books in two weeks, it was pretty wonderful! Since then life has gotten busier, and most evenings my book is now being replaced with my Icelandic studies, but I am set on keeping reading a big part of my life in 2016.
To help make sure I keeping reading a priority (and choose my book over hours of reality tv) I have set myself another reading goal of 50 books for this year. I am keeping it at 50 books as I think more than that would be really pushing it with my current schedule (aka I am trying to tackle Icelandic this year).
With the first month of the year down I am off to a good start with my reading goal and have read some great books lately, a huge improvement from my past few months of book fails.
Here is a recap of what I have been reading lately.
A heartbroken PhD student, Nora, wanders off during a friends wedding weekend and ends up going through a portal to another world. This world is full of magic but what starts off as a happy ending for Nora turns into a fairytale gone wrong and she must learn magic to save herself. Recommend to those who loved the All Souls Trilogy, which I did, I thought for sure I would love this book. Wrong. Nothing really happened and the magical side of the story was actually really boring. I kept reading it hoping for something to happen, but this story just fell flat for me.
Finally my so so book streak has been broken, I could not put this one down. I love a good suspenseful story and this one did not disappoint! The ending caught me completely off guard, in a good way, and I enjoyed every page of this book. If you enjoy a good mystery add this to your reading list!
I am a huge fan of Liane Moriarty and have loved all of her books that I have read. They are the perfect mix of humor, mystery and real life issues, once I start one of her books I can never put them down. “Liane Moriarty once again combines sharp wit, lovable and eccentric characters, and a page-turning story for an unforgettable” Seriously the perfect way to describe her books, if you haven’t read one of Liane Moriarty’s books yet add it this to your winter reading list.
Another winning book. The best way to describe this book is The Hunger Games meets The Selection series. If you were of fan of either series check out this book. The story was really well written and the ending had some twists I didn’t see coming which has me counting down the days until the second book in the series is released later this month!
Dan Harris is a Nightline anchor who embarks on his own journey into the world of spirituality and self-help. As someone who finds the world of spirituality intriguing, but at the same time a bit hard to get into, I found this story so interesting. The author is completely honest about his experiences and at times had me laughing at the thoughts he had when he was attempting to mediate. This book wasn’t life changing for me as I have heard others say but it was a very interesting read.
Called the “ European Gone Girl” by the The Wall Street Journal this was the book my bookclub read for January. I really enjoyed the first half of this book, the story was unfolding and you were able to piece information together to try and figure out the mystery. But the second half lost me. I don’t mind a book that ends with an unclear ending so you can come to your own conclusions, but this book left so many things up in the air that I really wanted cleared up. It was a great book to read for bookclub though, we had lots to discuss!
This book was added to my list after I saw it posted on World of Wanderlust. A story about a woman who has had enough of the corporate world and sets a goal of saving enough money to travel Europe for two years this book is perfect for anyone who dreams of traveling! While I really enjoyed this aspect of the book my favorite part of the story was her love story with her French man. Some of the things she wrote about her relationship and especially about learning a new language completely hit home for me.
Fingers crossed my good book streak continues! Currently I am reading All the Light We Cannot See for my bookclub, and am loving it, no wonder it has such great reviews! Any great books you have read lately that I should add to my list?? Let me know in the comments below!

If reading blogs is more your thing I have a wonderful blogger to introduce you to today! Meet Christina from Route Bliss , a lifelong Texan who takes some gorgeous photography and is always off on some adventure. Along with her beautiful pictures she has some great travel tips that all travelers should read!
When did you decide to start blogging / what inspired you to start blogging?
I’ve actually been blogging somewhere on the web since early 2001! I can’t really say what inspired me to initially start blogging, but the part of it where I started sharing images/travels was due to penpalling, it was an easy way to tell my penpals around the globe about where I’d been. Until I started my photography business, it was mostly personal ramblings that are pretty much gone from the web, thank goodness! Since 2007, I’ve been blogging either my portrait client work or my travels; I split the two up into separate websites about two and a half years ago and started focusing on my travel and personal photography work on Route Bliss.
What does your perfect weekend look like??
Sleeping in! I work 7 - 4 during the week, so I’m up and out of the house by 6 am thanks to a 40+ minute commute.
On a long weekend, I’d find a destination to either day trip to or make a quick weekend out of around the eastern half of Texas … or dart up to Little Rock to visit my best friend.
You traveled all over the USA and visited several National Parks too! What is one destination you would love to revisit?
Oh geez, that’s a tough decision! I’m not sure I can choose just one! From pre-2015 travels, I’d have to say Yellowstone. We barely saw half of the park (the eastern half) and missed out on one of the falls due to a jumper + wasn’t able to see Old Faithful erupt.
From last year, I want to go back to Yosemite. We’d planned two days in the park, but due to exhaustion, we spent day two exploring the nearby national forest instead of venturing further into the park. I still want to see the Tuolumne Meadows and Hetchy Hetch Reservoir areas (+ Mariposa Grove that closed for restoration 10-ish days before we arrived).
Any big travel plans for 2016?
Right now, my major travel plan is visiting Albuquerque during the annual balloon fiesta … gotta nail down reservations soon! I’m also planning a weekend trip to New Braunfels, Texas and one to Little Rock, Arkansas. I have some tentative plans for August, but its all up in the air at the moment (waiting on a friend’s plans + making sure I have the money and ability to take off work first). I also want to work in another national park if possible since 2016 is the centennial of the NPS and there’s some big celebrations going on throughout the year as well as in late August.
You take some stunning pictures of your travels. Any photography tips for us newbies out there?
Thanks :) The key is practice, lots of it. Get to know your camera; read the manual and find out what all those fancy features are/how to use them. Don’t be afraid to screw up when you have the ability to reshoot (at home, not while traveling). And if you’re unsure of your settings and aren’t able to take the time to get ‘the shot’ for whatever reason, there is nothing wrong with shooting in auto/program mode to capture the moment.

Question of the Day?
What are you reading this month?
Celebrating right after I found out I got the job.
