Weekend With Friends

This past weekend we made the trip back to our old stomping grounds in Fort Wayne. It’s always fun to head back to the Fort but since we made so many friends during our 5 years there it’s always a packed weekend.

Steven Bush (or Bush as he’s affectionately known) is one of those guys I know I would totally get along with if we were to hang out in person. For now I only know him through his blog, his music and his trademark beard. This guy’s the real deal.
