Coming home

Hi everyone!!!

I’m beyond thrilled to come home BUT I’ve been dreading the question: so how was your trip? How do I summarize a whole year of life? I don’t want to answer with “good”, ya feel?

This year I had to walk through a lot of difficult things and have grown so very much.

So my awesome friend Jordan came up with questions that her friends and family could ask her when she gets home from the race and I thought it was an incredible idea.

So here are mine. Jordan & I spent a good amount of time together so I took a lot of her questions and added my own. I am eager to see you all!!!!!! Xoxo
