I’m so excited about the next two holiday seasons! This year, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving and our anniversary in beautiful Mexico, followed by a month-long European adventure. It feels like a well-deserved reward for all the hard work and personal growth I’ve achieved this year. Next year, for the 2025 holiday season, we plan to
