This last year has been a tough one. Most of you don’t know this, but in March 2016, my stepdad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I’m happy to report that he’s doing well, but he has stage 4 cancer nonetheless. We recently received news that his cancer has spread, and needless to say, 2017 has been terrible so far. With that being said, I wanted to do some really special for my mom this year. Despite my stepdad’s diagnosis in 2016, my mom was always there for Matt and I during our wedding planning. She always puts us first no matter what and it’s time for me to give back to her. I thought her birthday and Mother’s Day this year would be the perfect chance to give her something amazing. So I did. I surprised her with a cruise…and I got it all on video!
