💛 And on a personal note, thank you to my husband, Dustin, and my team that works alongside me at shows, for following and encouraging me on this adventure over the years. This has been an interesting year figuring out my place in the community after a huge change, some medical craziness with both Dustin and I, but so many great moments and memories. 2025 brings new adventures, and I'm so excited to get to work on some amazing new projects. Thank you everyone who supports us, I appreciate you so, so much!
