We didn't spend a lot of time exploring our state since my boyfriend and I had already visited many places we were driving through. We did, however, make a point to stop in Redwoods National Park. These gigantic trees are a...

Hi Reader! How was your week? I hope October is treating you well and you're excited for a new month. We're in the final quarter of the year! I can't believe we've already made it to issue #25 of this weekly email (see all the previous newsletters here, if you're interested). I wanted to do something a little different to celebrate the milestone -- and maybe we'll keep it going for each 25th issue if I can keep thinking of facts about myself. ๐ It's always fun for me to learn a little more...
