I’ll be meeting a pair of Brandy’s friends when weContinue reading “Five Days”

Quarantine Breakout! Planned Trip: Crested Butte, CO, June 4-8

I met my partner, Brandy, on February 29, 2020. Before that, I’d never even heard of Crested Butte, Colorado. She had spent some time living there though and absolutely loves it.
