Happy Wednesday to TWJN supporters 👋 

Midweek check in! How’s everyone doing?

It’s been a pretty cool week in Austin. Thank goodness 🤠 To be fair, I don’t think we’ve seen a high temperature above 100 degrees all summer this year! But hey.. I’m definitely not complaining.

I took a bit of offline time yesterday to celebrate my five (!!!) year anniversary with my fiancée 🩵 It really is crazy how fast time flies. Anyways, if you’ve emailed me about something in the last day or so, I’m working my way through those now! Thanks for your patience 😊
