Absence really made the heart grow fonder. Reunited after 2 months apart while CC spent the summer home with family.

You can't tell from the photo, but we were in the worst fire zone in Oregon. Mike flew into Portland and within 2 hours we had to rush out of the state across the California boarder before it shut down.

Will never forget the smell and the stress of that day. But so happy to be together!
