Ohhh man I feel a 3 rep PR coming for deadlift next week. That would be amazing to hit so soon into prep. Finally got a good squat session in and let my mind stop controlling how I moved. Bench is lovely as always.

With the December wedding done (pictures coming) and the cat FINALLY out of the bag, we can proudly announce that while the full scale celebration happened this weekend, Kenny and I actually eloped in an intimate ceremony earlier this summer on June 14th. After learning about my Grandpa’s terminal cancer diagnosis, Kenny and I couldn’t bear the thought of not having him at our wedding. So we rallied the troops and put together a backyard elopement celebration in just 8 days. It was the most perfectly imperfect beautiful day and words will never be able to express what it means to me that my grandpa was able to walk me down the aisle and share in my father daughter dance. Grandpa I miss you more than anything, but I’m glad we got to share these final moments. I love you. Thank you so much to everyone who came together to make this day happen, we couldn’t have done it without everyone’s help.

Grateful is an understatement for this summer. All of the cool people I got to meet and collaborate with, let alone create incredible content/art. My circle is full of badasses who genuinely support each other, I’m so here for it. Stoked to see what next year brings us all💭
