The Woman You've Become
Over the last eight years, I’ve watched you grow, create, lead, adapt, persevere, and continue becoming exactly who you are.
I’ve watched you care for our family, chase big ideas, build things from scratch, solve problems, and carry responsibilities most people never see.
This page isn’t an attempt to summarize eight years.
It’s simply a few things I wanted you to know.
