The continued patience, grace, kindness, and support of my mother and my wife. Especially when I least deserved it.
Traveling to Missouri to experience this year's total solar eclipse with my family. An awe-filling and spiritually profound event.
Iceland, my first trip overseas. An enthralling place so much more magical than I could've imagined. I've more than half a mind to go back again in 2018.
