Vandalia

My hometown has been heavy on my heart lately. The outpouring of love and support for my Mom (who's battling Stage IV lung cancer) has blown us away... but we shouldn't have been so surprised. When I was in high school, you would hear me talk often about how I couldn't wait to move to a place where there was "more" for me. Fast forward a decade and I now realize where the most actually is. My home, Vandalia, Missouri. There may not be a Chipotle or an AMC, but there's an abundant amount of fun, love and community togetherness. ❤
