    Jess and I recently traded in our Pontiac for a 2012 Subaru Outback. If you know anything about me, you probably know that I love the Subaru brand. I found a great deal on one in Idaho Falls, Idaho. “Why Idaho?” some of you may ask. It has to do with the fact that Subaru’s…

It was probably the best expo – free photos, snacks, interviews with Olympians, and much more. I ran on a human hamster wheel! I found my name…
