2025 was filled with adventure, but it was also a tough year for us. We lost our 15-year-old dog, Audi, the center of our universe. But between providing her end-of-life care and many sleepless nights, we were able to visit a lot of new places. In large thanks to my mom for caring for Audi and watching our cat (now 2 cats) whenever we hit the road.
