Hello! It's week 3 of the ORC! We have made it to the half way point and I'm feeling pretty good about things... mostly. This week saw a lot of tiling and manual labor for both my dad and I (more so him, if I'm being totally transparent- thanks Dad). And if you saw my Instagram stories you'll know manual labor or too much of it in one week was not good for me. At all. Shout out to the ER doctors at Syosset hospital. Woop woop. Back to tiling. It's turning out to be quite the project to get ... [Read More]

I loved everything and can't wait to visit again. A big huge humungous thank you to Craig for taking me up there in the driving snow and super gusty winds. True love. He told me that this was my birthday and Valentine's gift for 3 years. So that's that. True love has limits. 😂 Why would I go to Canada in the middle of ... [Read More]
