Time to take a trip back in time to our worst year together as a married couple. We have shared a lot on this podcast about how we are better together, that we often collab and how we are great communicators. We have an awesome partnership, but year one of our marriage was not great. It was tough. In this episode, we share why the year was so difficult and how we got through it. We mentioned two previous episodes in this one. The links are below.    

In this special Thanksgiving episode, we chat about how we have tried to have an Attitude of Gratitude in 2019 even with the curveball we were thrown at the beginning of the year. We are thankful for each other, our families, our jobs and our new son, Lincoln. We hope to continue having an Attitude of Gratitude into 2020 no matter what life throws at us.
