Hello from Hawaii...or should I say aloha! we are so excited to be here and I simply cannot get over how beautiful it is! Since I woke up at 5:30, I figured I'd provide an update on our trip while I let Tyler sleep a little longer :) Our trip started off a wee bit stressful as we could've left the house earlier than we did (oops) and I have never seen BWI security so packed. Tyler and I looked at each other in a panic when we saw the line. We lucked out because Clear check had ambassadors going ... View the Post

My Outlook on the New Year
Just like that, 2019 is already here. The Christmas excitement is wrapped away until next year and I'm looking forward to this next year.
