We're a family!

We've done a 5k Mud Run and Escape the Room together, but some of our favorite moments are the simplest ones.

"My favorite thing that we've done together is dinner outings. Although it sounds boring to just have dinner, you can never share too many funny stories with your co-workers whether it be about work or home. We are a family that has fun at the dinner table!"
