Our friend, James, just accepted a new position within Vestas. The legal team gathered tonight to wish him well and buy him some delicious Hopworks pizza. It also gave Alec and James the opportunity to pose for this year’s best Modern Family portrait. Prada and Alshe, you are a DARLING couple!

Even the chicken dance made the list!

I want to introduce you to an old friend. But here’s the thing: I don’t actually know her in the sense of…um…having shook her hand and split a cookie in a cafe. I stumbled upon Amber through another friend’s blog and immediately fell in love with the way she strings together words, bares her failures [...]
