I'm not going to lie. 2023 was one of the weirdest and most unsettling years for me yet. On a global scale, the world seems to be burning, and personally, life has been non-stop, good and bad.

As an avid traveler, wanderlust hits me hard each summer. Oh, who am I kidding? Wanderlust hits me every 4-6 months, especially since I've been living in BHH.

It has been over a year since Andy took a job in Utah. Honestly, it's gone very fast for me. The whirlwind of family obligations, traveling, and getting BHH ready for the (eventual) sale has left little time for feeling sad. There is never a dull moment around here. Andy sometimes gets lonely, but our…
