Away from desk

Apr 28, 2019Moments

A little change of scenery this week. I spent the last three days traveling from American Samoa to Virginia, with a quick stop in Arizona for an overnight layover with my sister and her family, and I got to see my bestie for a hottt second. The conference I’m here for starts tomorrow and I should probably catch some zzz’s soon so I can get over this jet lag.
