This is the eightteenth post in my Month in review series.
I had quite an exciting couple of weeks in April. There was two trips back-to-back: one flight to Charlotte (North Carolina), and one drive to Boulder (Colorado). My mind and my time was kept busy with a big project at work, aikido training, and as many dates with my girlfriend as I can.
I didn’t perceive time passing by. I’m grateful for these captured moments I share with you, as I also revisit them and admire the distances I’ve covered and experiences I’ve collected.
The theme of the month is: flash.
