Time feels different out there…

This past weekend, my sister and I took another trip to Georgia, where we stayed at the exact same cabin when we visited last year.

I made it! I did it!

If you're receiving this in your email, and you've been subscribed to the blog for a while now, you may notice a bit of a difference in the email itself. See, I spent last week working on something that I've wanted to do for a long time now—build a website for my blog…
