Times of Beauty
This has happened to me before. Sometimes we get a gift in life. A beautiful morning camping, waking up to the sounds of the loons. A breathtaking sunset.

Utah Trip Day 1
I got waaaay behind on sharing our Utah trip, and I’d be willing to put money on the fact that most of you would fully support me on that. It’s because I was having so much fun relaxing with/enjoying the company of CJ, Lauren, Zeb and their friends. And even some of my friends 🙂…
