Have a lovely weekend! I’ll be doing a staycation with my fiancé and Lily at a gorgeous resort in Scottsdale (an Instagram collaboration) and cannot wait to have a little escape from this awful 2-star hotel we’ve been living in since before Thanksgiving. I’ll provide a status update on my house/construction situation in the next issue :)
