Good Times & A Gutpunch

i feel like i’m back on the rollercoaster again. same one i was on a couple weeks ago. it must be this lethal combination of nostalgia, seeing friends, leaving friends, leaving caylin, hormones out of wack–the perfect storm. not to mention the part where i gained 3 pounds…

13 Months

i have been procrastinating for 2 days to write this entry. it usually doesn’t take this much convincing, but i feel like so much has happened in the past month that writing about it will hardly do it any justice. caylin turned 13 months old on monday. holy shitballs.…

Hindsight is 20/20

Long Weekend, Hackathon, 1 Year
