This past weekend, my family celebrated something extraordinary: my grandparents’ 90th birthdays. Ninety... Let that settle in. Ninety years on this planet - nearly a century of life, love, chaos, change, and growth. When you really think about it, it feels almost unreal. Like something you read in a book or see in a documentary. But nope… that was my grandparents this weekend, smiling for photos while their loved ones celebrated them.

Having your person by your side through every phase of life… your best friend, your sounding board, your partner in chaos and calm. That kind of love always felt like something

You know those items on your “bucket list”? Those experiences you dream about crossing off someday before it’s “too late”? I mean, everyone has one, right? And if you don’t… you should. Having goals (big or small) is one of the best ways to keep life exciting and full of purpose. Because if you’re not living your life to the fullest… what are you even doing? In my thirty-something years, I’ve been lucky enough to cross off a few things already: Oktoberfest in Munich (yes, the
