My husband and I met for a blind date 12 years ago today after connecting on match.com. We’ve been inseparable ever since. One marriage, three children and countless adventures later, here we are. I’m so very grateful I found my guy ❤️ ⠀
⠀
⠀
I’m excited to dive into The Four Winds. I’m torn between reading this gorgeous physical book or listening to my favorite narrator, @JuliaWhelan  tell the story. ⠀

And of course, I had to bring my new favorite YETI along....⠀
