Collins Birth Story
On March 11, 2020, our lives were forever changed when Collins Elisabeth Drake came into the world. A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives.

This post is sponsored by Opendoor. All opinions are my own. This March, Justin and I celebrated the two year anniversary of purchasing our first home as newlyweds. Prior to moving into our now home, we shared a townhouse that Justin purchased months before we started dating. Though technically a home, it was more his bachelor pad than a space we shared!
