It's been 7 months since our last episode and we are so excited to be back!!!
In this episode we share just what we've both been up to in this past 7 months.
Carolyn tells us about the flesh-eating bacteria that took her by surprise back in March and almost killed her; what has kept her going through this latest challenge; how she has dealt with it without her beloved Tony by her side, and some of her tips for getting through hard things.
On a lighter note, John shares some of the big, exciting news in his life.
