Big thank you to @purdysjourneys for booking us the perfect rooms at the perfect hotels, and planning all our travel, tours, and more!

We can’t wait to go back!
Merry Criterion Christmas and a happy 4K New Year to all! Highly recommend having an incredible wife who supports your love of physical media (and a best friend brother who added a few to the collection as well).

For our wedding favors my wickedly talented wife illustrated a deck of cards of the things most meaningful to our relationship. I cried when I first saw them - they’re beautiful and Megan put so much work into making them!!! And now when I lose in cribbage I’m not nearly as mad about it. Thank you @meganhenricks.jpg I am constantly in awe of your many, many talents. ❤️❤️❤️

A Christmas miracle!!!! (That technically happened in November). My cheeks have been sore for a month (because I’ve been smiling too hard) but waiting to tell friends and family in person was well worth it.
