Welcome to episode thirty-three. As many of you know, I haven't been able to go home with my family, for five years due to Covid.
This past Christmas season we were able to go home and have a blast there.
I talk about all the fun we had and the memories we made together as a family.
This trip was amazing for so many reasons. I have lots of pictures that will hopefully explain more than my words can.
New Zealand is the most beautiful country with so much to offer. I hope you can all get there one day. For now, know that my heart is full of love and gratitude for the month that I just got to spend home with my family.
I hope you enjoy my story and enjoy peaking into a little of what our journey was like back home.
