Hi you guys, and happy hump day! Last week, Luke and I had the incredible opportunity to travel to the mountains in Tennessee for a week with my family. We drove about half a day to get there (with multiple stops for sweet cream vanilla cold brew at Starbucks and Chick Fil A for lunch, of course!), and it was completely worth it. This cabin is so special to me and my family, and it was amazing to be able to bring Luke along this year!
