Gone With Groms

Hi friends — I know I’ve been quiet, and a bunch of you have asked how our trip went. And honestly? It was magical… right up until my brain decided to spice things up.

About 19 hours after landing, I got a surprise VIP tour of the local ED. 🎉
(10/10 ambience, would not recommend.) Cheekiness aside did right by me. 🙏❤️💉

For those keeping track: last August, when my truck was totaled by someone running a red light, I ended up with a small bleed that formed a brand-new cavernoma. Well, that little overachiever decided to bleed again sometime before or right when we landed back home in Denver. 🧠 🩸

I tried all the classics — hydrate, pain meds, denial — but even I had to admit this wasn’t “just another migraine.” It cost $ to fly home early but I’m glad we did. 😳

So now I’m back and taking things slow while my brain behaves itself. I’ll share more trip memories once I’m upright long enough to pick the good ones. 😉

New York-Tel Aviv-Yafo plus rental car up north, Jerusalem and many stops south, Athens, Cairo, Frankfurt, Denver. Pics as out of order as my noggin.😂✈️

Amazing, hard, likely my last big trip and definitely last 3rd world country but so worth it. I won’t spend this precious life scared but I will pump the breaks a bit more. ❤️

All the love and praise to the one above and the man by my side picking up the pieces. 🫶

I love you in all our imperfections, and I’d choose you again and again.

“The devil made a mess so I grabbed me a broom. So blessed.”

Here’s to more 5am sunrises in far flung places, making magic out of madness and longs walks after dark trying to sort it all out.
