you CANNOT tell me that the beach is better hot than cold ✋ 🥰 I’m obsessed with the PNW region now 😋 I’m sending all of the good vibes and kisses to you all from Oregon!!

I’ve gotten asked so many times if we’re going to move somewhere new or where we want to go next. Honestly, I feel like it’s okay to not know. That’s the beautiful power we all hold to decide and create our own futures.

But for real. There’s a million reasons I could share with you why I love this region and why I’ll probably always call the La Crosse area my home. Absolutely starting with my ancestors… well over a hundred years ago.

When I walk through La Crosse downtown, I can see the house where my great grandma mothered my grandpa Richard, as a single mother. I can see the buildings, where she grew and entrepreneured her businesses without the help of a man. I can see our building where the Netwals have worked in Dentistry for my whole life + more. I can see the old Danny’s music store where my grandparents met, while listening to records. I can see the empty lot that used to be the old hallmark store, where my dad worked as a teen. I can see the Cathedral that my grandpa and his dad helped restructure years and years ago. I can see the pump house that my ancestors used to work. I can see the old train car my uncle brought in 1963. I can see the park, where Stephen and I were engaged. I could go on forever 🥺

La Crosse feels like I’m walking through a scrapbook my my life and ancestry. Annnnnd I’m a pretty sappy & emotional person so I’m a sucker for all of this.

Sweet evening on the rooftop 🖤
