The worst. (End of blog post.) … Just kidding, kind of! On December 1st, when I said “yes” there was no way for me to know the roller coaster I would be stepping onto. I knew wedding planning would be crazy, I knew there would be stressful moments, I knew we’d have disagreements with each other …
Just a few days before COVID-19 hit my community, I saw this tweet. I agreed with the sentiment, but continued scrolling through my timeline. As life continued to change and the implications began to be felt in my life, I could not get this tweet out of my head. It benefits no one to play …

As of tomorrow, July 4th, Bryan and I will have been together for six years! So crazy. I cannot believe how long it has been. The two of us have grown so much since day one and I’m still so grateful to be with someone so remarkable. So much of our relationship has been spent …
