Hi guys! As I share everything with you guys on this blog, I wanted to share one of the most exciting days of my life!

So… I finally met my grandfather! He lives far away from me and my family so we lost contact since I was a child, but I got a chance to travel to see him and it was amazing meeting him for the first time. At first, I was really worried and scared to travel on an airplane for the first time, but my mother was there for me so that made me feel way better. And although I was scared at first, I was happier than anything else. When I first saw him it was a mix of emotions and I could tell that he was a little nervous too, but overall, it was one of the most amazing days of my life! I’m so happy that I can share this moment with you guys, please feel free to share in the comments if you ever had a similar experience, I’d love to read it!!
