After Getting Married In 2021, We Decided To Travel

We've both done our fair share of traveling over the years, but lately our suitcases have mostly been serving as decorative closet furniture. Since 2016, life and relationships made travel planning feel less like "book a trip" and more like "negotiate world peace."

We got married in July 2021 and decided that once the house was finally "finished" — a term homeowners use loosely and with reckless optimism — we'd start spending our money on seeing the places we've always wanted to see, instead of on things like grout, light fixtures, and mysterious trips to Home Depot.

Sedona Arizona - November 2020

We spent a week traveling in Arizona and had a wonderful time! Zip lines over zoo's and dining in Sedona; we had a wonderful time.
