Blend 2013 Recap {Let Me Explain}

Hi friends! I think I owe you all some pretty amazing recaps (race recap coming soon), but first let’s chat a little about the AMAZING BLEND RETREAT that I went to a last week!

What’s Blend?

It’s where you meet life long soul sisters randomly at the airport and realize you were meant for each other. Utah BOUND!
