Our “meetings” weren’t meetings, and their engagement session and wedding felt like old friends hangin out, and I LOVED THAT.

It’s hard to put 2017 into words, but I gotta say, it was a pretty darn good year. I got to travel with my best friends to Florida and Washington, visit my bro in California and made a trip up to my favorite place in the world-Lutsen. Oh yeah, work was pretty great too. It […]
