Primrose, I was a big Hunger Games fan at the time we adopted her!

Three countries I’d love to visit are…

Greece, Iceland, and Italy

My favorite vacation spot…

Anywhere on the west coast of Florida, from Destin to Key West –those beaches are some of the best in the country and the sunsets are so dreamy. I also really love Rhode Island (in the summer) haha.
