Three years ago I never imagined that I’d have two dogs dogs, a camper, and that I’d get to marry my best friend @teddyfisher.wildlifephotos in a month. How things change and I couldn’t be more thankful. 🏕️🐶💕 Wedding shower weekend was a great success. 💕 First solo trip in almost 3 years. I was nervous to go and only planned it a week before I left.
