I walked by your house but it looked empty. Unfortunately I had to work most of the time I was there. I’ll be back.

Loved this, Cory. So sad I missed being able to see you while we were both in Utah, but i'll be in GA next month and am excited to catch up.

I've had many similar thoughts since I've been staying at my parents for the last 3 weeks. I love living away, but it's crazy the memories and feelings that come flooding back when back in your old digs. Good & bad.

I also love and read your blog. Feeling inspired to start my own again. I miss writing, but it's intimidating putting stuff out there for everyone to see again. Love ya!

Thank you for reading, Megan. I wanted to see more people but five weeks wasn’t enough. Let us know when you’re in Athens. We’d love to see you.
