Two Chicks In Pursuit of a Babe: Heading out

Heading out in the morning for a two week work trip. Doubt I'll be able to keep up with blogs (though I will definitely try - total blog withdrawal would be too much!). So let me just say that I am praying (in my way) for BFPs and good news all around. Hope I come back at the end of the month and find you all barefoot in your kitchens. Take care.
