Site Prep with Dan // Volume 3

Another Q&A with my sweet hubby!

It’s another edition of Site Prep with Dan! He and I both loved y’all’s response to last month’s Q&A. Has Starbucks ever spelled your name wrong on a cup?

My Do-Over Bucket List

I have traveled to many places. I have done amazing things. But for a few of these feats, I want to do them again, with my husband at my side.
