I’ve never quite found myself speechless in regards to the beauty of a destination. I’ve seen cloud capped mountains meet the blue sea, meticulously manicured rows of wine leaves turned golden with a setting autumn sun and steel skyscrapers rise from endless asphalt to a peaceful sky. But never before have I been to Santorini, Greece…

see ya soon, santorini.
It’s been a dream of mine for years. Santorini. Greece. Gyros and caldera swims. Dramatic cliff side landscapes. If you’re not familiar with the location, chances are you’ve seen the images of this stunning island.

i’ve been away.
Not necessarily away physically, just mentally. Work has been CRAZY. And we’ve been doing a little traveling– nowhere new, just the same ‘ole staples. New Orleans for a Bachelorette party. Vegas with my favorite group of party people. Entertaining out of town friends in Houston, and ultimately, forcing ourselves to try new places in our…
