Hey everyone! Join us today as we reminisce about our gown/tux wedding day on 5/6/2006. We also cover what our thinking was at that time in our young lives and the challenges of planning a wedding. Join us on this memory train.
Today's episode is something a little different. My wife and I have been dying for a vacation and lets be honest....after all this Covid-19 pandemic. Due to Covid-19 we won't be able to have our annual Family Fun Challenge as usual. So we decided to do something a bit different and challenged our kids to plan our family vacation for 2021. Whoever has the better presentation is the trip we will do next year in 2021. Today's episode is each of us presenting our trips.
We also wanted to include you all, the listeners, to join us two ways on this challenge. First we encourage you to also to do a similar challenge with you family. Each of you come up with a family vacation for next year. Email us how that goes. Second we are asking you all to email which vacation presentation from our family do you think is best. We would love to hear your opinion.

Hoping you all are staying safe during this Corona Virus pandemic times. We are going to re-air a set of shows that originally aired a year ago that we think are relevant to what's going on today and to the added stressors onto our marriages and relationships.

In today's solo episode, Elliot and Michele talk about how they choose to balance marriage and finances/careers. They both get transparent and let you into areas they are working on in their marriage.
