I just spent 30 minutes writing an entire paragraph about how much 2020 sucked and then I deleted it. The infamous year of 2020 will forever be etched in our minds as the worst year in recent history. But you know what? A lot of awesome things happened, too! I learned I was stronger than […]

“If you would have told me in the fourth grade that Tess Hardman was going to marry Wyatt Daniel, I would have told you ‘No way, we’re just buds!’” She laughed as she told us the story and then she looked at him with so much love in her eyes. Her childhood dream had come […]
