  • Aaaaaaand It’s time to celebrate the amazing @meganp711 🎉🎉🎉 . . It’s been just over a year since we met, and I am so grateful to have you in my life!

Thank you for always being a voice of reason, a calm in a storm, and down for anything (also, you’re always ready for coffee and food dates and that’s really the most solid foundation any friendship could ask for)! 💪🏽 . .
