I can’t believe this is real. When Chad said, “MAUI 2015!” at the end of the last trip, I just thought he was joking. Because we joke a lot about going somewhere tropical at any point. But apparently… it was real. We made the decision to celebrate our 5th anniversary on the island we love […]

It hadn’t been but a few weeks since United 2014 and my mind was wondering how we were going to get the same group of girls together. I know you can’t duplicate experiences, but I felt like this wasn’t the end. At United, we had late night talks, meals together, laughter… but it was in […]

Well, I’ve been back for a whole week now. I had such a busy one that I hadn’t even downloaded the few photos I took! Our trip was really fabulous, though. Part 1. Hanging out with Hannah + Luke. Two great friends who live in AZ and were awesome enough to meet us there. It […]
