That said, I’d like to give thanks for everything that I have and for the amazing, synchronous existence that I lead.
I am thankful to be so fortunate as to have been raised all over the world. I am [...]

A Mini Roadtrip! Part Two: Ohio

Honoring an Elder

Aunt Sara is the last living sibling of my Minnie Mae Chubb. [...]

Hello everyone! Andrew and I recently got our hair cut since we were both getting shaggy and in need of a trim/change. Hope you like them as much as well do!
Andrew’s hair is still a similar style, mostly just a trim since we’ll be seeing his family soon when we go down to [...]
