Before we start this episode, we just wanted to put a trigger warning up top for eating disorders and sexual abuse.

Hey guys, it's Candice and Kayla and we are directionally challenged.

Oh yeah, we thought we would just have it all figured out by the time we were in our 30s.

But surprise, we don't.

No, we don't!

But that's totally cool, right?

I mean, it is. And I have to say, we took a little break and I have missed talking to you and Mel and just are creating these wonderful conversations for our listeners.

Candice, you had a crazy experience this past month. Are you going to give us any details or what happened? What, how was your trip?

Oh yeah, the scoop. The trip was great. I mentioned in our last episode that aired that we would be heading out in RV as a family dog included for a month.

And it was wonderful. You know, we went to smaller towns up the Oregon coast. It was wonderful to also be received by towns that were taking COVID-19 very seriously.

We just continued to social distance just in different places. And it was nice to experience the fresh air. We had so much of it, there were unheard of winds our entire month.

So, you know, we call it the windy trip.

So we were wherever you go, there you are. So we had a lot of time indoors. I made, I did a lot of puzzles for the first time.

I was going to put a puzzle kind of gal. But I'm just going to say it and just say it straight to you. I made those puzzles, my bitch Kayla. Wow.

I really did. Yeah. I mean, those like floral, you know, cab and arrangement puzzles didn't know what was coming for them. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah. Very eventful this last month. No, it was really beautiful. You know, we were really lucky that we were able to, you know, with Joe and I, and we don't have a nine to five.

And so we were able to have that experience together as a family. It was, it was really special. And, and I think it was, it's a positive thing we can all look back on.

For, for years and decades to come. How are you? How is your month?

It was very wonderful. Sweet little poppy turned one, which is,

a huge feat because as I've been told by many friends who are mothers, you included Candace, the first year is the hardest. And so I say the first year celebration is definitely a celebration for the parents that you made it through that you did it, but they're still alive.
