On this episode Scott and Rochelle discuss why there was no episode last week, because we were on a couples only retreat in the snow, and couldn’t tear ourselves away to do a podcast. We discuss why we don’t normally do winter activities, and what it’s like to crash a snow mobile. We also discuss why we think little, frequent romantic gestures are more important than big ones.
