Hey friends! Happy Tuesday from our house!

Brandon has a birthday on Thursday, so I thought I’d take today to share 33 fun facts about him.

They may not all be fun, but facts at least;)

1. 1. He has a bald head. Just recently he started shaving his head completely. Grateful he doesn’t ask me to cut his hair anymore!
   2. He now works from home, like what a lot of you guys are currently doing. We are adjusting and figuring it out, but he loves it!
