I apologize if I'm late in sharing this info, but I've managed to destroy two phones in a row and each time I replaced my phone I had to spend at least an hour or two re-installing apps that I purchased using my phone.

Hope you guys are having a great Summer. I'm slowly easing out of my blogging hiatus after spending the first three weeks of July traveling for work and play.
