Life is awesome. It really is. Sometimes we can lose sight of the awesomeness as we get bogged down with challenges and the impact of the world around us, but, if we can learn to filter all of that out and to focus on the good- then finding joy becomes an easier and easier thing. Nate and Danny met in 2018 and our two families just hit it off. We love to talk about interesting topics that highlight just how awesome life can be.
