If you believe in omens then you would have had bad feelings about this trip. James was supposed to pick me up at 4 pm but at 4:05 PM while he was still in the shower he realized his mistake. We were behind schedule already and hadnt even left Seattle. The plan was to get one […]

At first glance, I couldn’t help but notice that they were thicker and appeared to have more cushion.
