The G’s At Sea

We have made many adjustments with this move, but one of the most difficult ones to process is watching college football on Sunday mornings. EARLY Sunday mornings. Our latest game so far has been 11:30am, and we've even woken up for a 4am kick!

I fully expected Emmy to struggle with her friends leaving when the time came. But I was not prepared for my own big emotions. I should have been...but I wasn't. Lauren, thank you for the month of friendship and for allowing me to buy all of your things as you prepared to leave. Thank you for sharing your ...
