My brother and I still have a Snapchat streak going… It’s currently at 3,602 days.

I’ve read 16 books so far this year. Two of my favorites were The Beekeeper of Aleppo and Legends of the Fall.

Some of the best sweet treats I’ve had this year: Fruity Pebbles French Toast and Salt & Straw Carrot Cake Ice Cream Cake.

I had my first coffee, ice vanilla latte, when I was 28 (shoutout Hannah Steelman).
