Us
We're the kind of people who would rather be outside than in. We drink mostly water. A lot of it. We're the kind of people who put on costumes at Halloween and drive around town delivering brownies (with bows) to friends and random people in the service industry. We cook four nights a week and eat out three. We're passionate about making the world better, and we spend lots of time actually trying to do it.

I also heard this report on my commute home yesterday and as the reporter became emotional I couldn't help crying. My heart is breaking for Haiti and it is a reminder to be thankful everyday for the safety and well-being of our loved ones.
