Oh, hello.
It’s been a while. I haven’t posted lately. The podcast I co-host has just wrapped its 4th season. (We talk A LOT!!) But my lack of content here doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about the topics that keep popping up in this blog.

I was honored last weekend to officiate the marriage of my Aunt Andy and my new Aunt, Jenny.

Thank you, Aunt Andy and Aunt Jenny, for allowing me to stand with you on such a magical day!
