Looking at the calendar, I realize that it was exactly eight years ago that I met Matt. It’s amazing to see how much can change in just eight years!

And the best part is, we haven’t really stopped talking ever since. <3

Trekking for one important reason

The Trek for Tourette is coming up on Sunday. I’m pretty behind in my fundraising, but given the fact that I gave birth to our beautiful little girl, I’m going to give myself a break and be pleased with any support I do help raise.
