Instagram post 2256083147039201890_6069144 Who knew that I would meet my life partner on a rooftop in nyc. Who knew that we would share the same values and dreams. Who knew after 1 year of marriage we would pick up our lives and move to Florida, and who knew that he would embrace all the changes, big and small, that have come our way since being together. Who knew that he would be so passionate about his career and continue to grow and tackle every challenge that comes his way with imaginable positivity. Who knew he would be the most caring furr dad (I mean just look at the way Hartley looks at him!) And who knew that he would light up my world the way he does ✨

Thank youuuu @drewwsky for being my person, for loving me and supporting me fiercely. 
I love you forever 🖤🖤🖤
Instagram post 2229596875919659155_6069144 So much love for this lady. She’s almost 102 and jumped on a plane from JFK (!) and arrived a few days ago just to spend some time with us, she wanted to see how we live since moving to Florida. She is fearless. Channeling her strength in difficult times gives me inspiration to tackle anything that comes our way ~~ we love you 🖤🖤🖤

Instagram post 2152412713672819344_6069144 Feeling major nostalgia after inheriting this 81’ F-150 beauty. Way before our time, my dad picked my mom up in this truck on their first date and there are many stories from their adventures together. Super happy that we can take care of her and carry on making more memories. Even better, Andrew was fully surprised this morning as we pulled into the gas station to pick her up (yay!), as we have been coordinating the drop off for a few weeks getting her from PA to Fla. I guess my next life learning will be mastering driving stick, because who doesn’t want to drive this gem - so for now you will see this guy driving around town in this beaut ✨✨
Instagram post 2097907531304247501_6069144 This is my Vovo. She is almost 101 years old.  Her story is an inspiring one, a holocaust surviver, lived in Brazil and raised her children before immigrating to New York City in her 60s, worked for many years on Wall Street. Today she lives on her own in Queens, takes Uber, emails and just got a new computer, works part time translating, expert in global politics, loves silk blouses, diners and dogs. 
We love her 🖤
