Catching up: Bridge to Brisbane etc!
I just realised I forgot to update y’all with my Bridge to Brisbane debriefing! You can watch the end of this video to see my footage, as well as things that fill my heart with glee. You can see that I was true to my word, and wore a tutu! Nick and I are totally…
