A few weeks ago, one of the kids had a graduation, a wedding, and a cross-country move all back to back. We stayed in the most peculiar Airbnb with hilarious, very close-up cows. We made tons of memories with family and good friends from near and far at the rehearsal dinner and the wedding at a winery. Between the family and the cows, there were all sorts of laughs. ![]() I get it that it's maybe embarrassing to talk with someone like me about the most intimate aspects of your relationship.
