Hello, everyone, and happy Wednesday. It is a new week. It is fabulous. I'm feeling great.

I hope you are having an amazing day, week, month, year. Honestly, so much has happened that I feel like I need to catch you up on. I

recently have gone on two trips. The first, I went on a girls trip to New York City. And then

the second was a family trip, kind of an imprompt to family reunion on my side, which is kind of

funny. My parents were going out to my nephew's

birthday. And then my youngest brother was like, you know what, Brett, if you go out, I'll go out.

And I was like, what? Is this about to be a family reunion? So we all went out and spent some fun

family time over the weekend, my entire family. so me, my parents, and then my two

brothers. And I feel like every chance we can get to see each other I really want to take,

especially now that we are older. It's so fun for Vinny to hang out with his cousins.

My older brother has three kids and those are Vinny's only cousin so it's so fun for him to be able to

enjoy that time. It's just always a treat to see both of my brothers, especially because we all live

all over the U.S. like we come from all four corners of the U.S. almost. So I cherish all of the

time and the memories that I get with them. We were

really close growing up because my dad is literally still active duty in the army, which I love

go him. And we just moved all the time. And my mom like ingrained in us. She's like,

you are all you have, be nice to each other and treat each other with respect like you are your each other's

best friends because in the summers we would always move and have no friends to hang out with.
