Chris Sullivan

It's okay.

I've been called all kinds of stuff.

First off, I want to say I'm a huge fan of This Is Us and That Was Us.

I've greatly enjoyed listening to the podcast and I'm currently following along with the podcast by watching the show with my husband.

He's a first-time watcher.

I am a second-time watcher.

Thank you.

I first watched the show with my parents, my last few months living at home before getting married.

My parents and I are big road trippers.

My parents took multiple US cross-country road trips before I was born.

When I was a year old, my mom bought a truck camper and told my dad that she and I would take a trip in it together when I was older.

We took two cross-country trips together in the camper, one when I was 14 before high school, 2015, and another when I was 21 before senior year of college, 2022.

We traveled from Michigan to the Pacific Ocean both times, seeing multiple national parks, museums, tourist destinations, and making memories together.

The trips I took with my mom are some of my favorite travel memories.

Waking up to the sound of the ocean outside our window, hiking in Zion, visiting hotels in Vegas, and long talks with my mom in the car.

Now that I am married and moved out, life has changed for us a lot.

But I am hopeful in the future we will travel together again, hopefully with my future children.

Attached are some pictures from our travels.

Oh, Ruthie and her mom.

That does look like, look at that blue water.
