11 YEARS 🌇  As one chapter of life was coming to a close, I made a life changing decision to pack up what I could and move from my hometown in Colorado to Nashville. I had no plan, no job, and no idea what I was doing. We had just wrapped the 10th Anniversary of The UMS, feeling both accomplished and exhausted. As we packed up what remained from that milestone, I packed up my car and what I could fit into my rented trailer and hit the road. 🛻

Little did I know then that I was embarking on an 11 year adventure that would change my life in so many meaningful ways. From working in the industry that I dreamed about as a young child to finding true love and building the family and foundation I had longed for most of my life. July 27, 2010 was the start of an incredible journey and the continuation to my story. 📚

While my heart will be tied to my Denver-born roots, today belongs to Music City. The place I landed 11 years ago. 💖

Though I don’t know where the next 11 may take me, I know now that the story continues and I’m ready for what’s next. For now, I am home.🔮

Honestly, did you even know I went anywhere? 🤣 January was a weird month, y'all. After a horrifying attack on our democracy and the continued divide of our nation, I needed a mental break. Did I get it? Nope. On January 12, I tested positive for Covid-19 (two days after the onset of my first symptoms). After playing it safe, socially distancing, wearing my mask, and following CDC protocols, I contracted the virus that I spent nearly a year afraid of getting. I still don't know where or how I got it, but I did. And that sh!t is very real! 👹

After a lot of sleep, puppy pile-ons, an overnight hospital stay, fevers peaking at 107 degrees, an added pneumonia, a ton of love from my friends and fam, and a hit to my immune system's ego, I am back! 🙌

I don't share this update for sympathy, but simply to remind you all that this global pandemic is real. It can impact anyone at any time. And it impacts us all differently. The good news is we have really some easy ways to avoid getting or spreading this virus in our country. Stay home if you feel any cold or flu-like symptoms. Get tested (even if you feel fine). And wear a mask, goddammit. 😷

Most importantly, stop living in fear and start living informed. We will get through this if we work together! ♥️

From our first backyard happy hour, it was clear @_b0d13_ and @suzannepants were meant to be much more than the occasional “borrow a cup of sugar" neighbors. And since that day, we've shared holidays, hosted game nights, celebrated promotions, experienced loss, laughed, danced, sang cheesy 80's songs, dined out, ordered in, showed our Pride, survived a f*cking pandemic, and so much more! So as we close the chapter on their Straightway story today, we know ours is far from over. 💛

Congratulations Beau and Suz on your new home! We cannot wait to start our new normal with some of our very best friends from "just 3 miles away!" 🥃🥂
