So things have been BUSY!! but I wanted to take a minute and brag on my man 🙂  Last week Branden made his theatrical debut!  Well, that’s only partly true I guess.  He’s been doing puppetry, emceeing and a lot of other various performing for his entire adult life, but this was his first time acting in a play!  He and another actor (a guy named Ryan, who we’ve been…
