Surprise Getaway
On Friday morning, I was laying in bed with Kasen when Kellan got out his suitcase and started packing. I quickly checked our calendar because, to my knowledge, there weren’t any work trips planned but I have been known to forget what day it is let alone what trip he might have haha. When there…

Choose your hard.
It’s hard to give up a good life for a great life. It’s hard to draw boundaries with yourself because you can’t trust you anymore. It’s hard to break up with significant others and friends. It’s hard be lonely. -AND- It’s hard to live in mediocrity when you know in your guts there‘s the life of your dreams…
