March On, Sisters
This post was inspired by Samantha Chaffin's blog post about the Women's March in LA. The title is not meant to exclude the wonderful men or gender non-conforming people who attended marches, and I love each and every one of you who showed up to support the cause.

Despite the fact that I lived in Georgia for part of my childhood, I still feel like the entire state is brand-new--and fortunately for a wanderlust-ridden twenty-something like me, there are dozens of places to explore. Last week, our friends Abby and Chris invited Drew and I on a double date adventure to Athens, GA. … Continue reading Friends, Waffles, and Work: Athens, GA
