Coming full circle... I truly love full circle moments. And last night was a big one for me. In February 2017, when I was bedridden after my neck and right hip surgery, I made two big goals for after recovery. As many of you know, goal #1 was a trip to Portugal and Morocco. I completed …

Belize Birthday Trip

It was an unBELIZEable trip! We had a really fun crew and the whole time was spent laughing and exploring. We ate soooo much lobster and it was all delicious. I'm also obsessed with fry jacks now.
