This is 40: Celebrating 40 Years of Kassie with 40 Locations!
A short video of all 40 locations we went to over the past year to celebrate me turning 40 this year! We work hard to get to travel and are so fortunate to be able to do so! https://youtu.be/TOAiJbosjgI?si=lb4xinSQbewNK2iG I joke about being surprised that I made it to 40. But in reality there have been moments and decisions that do make this feel lucky or fortunate at times. Not only to have made it - but to have made it to where I am - happy, successful, whole, and loved

New YouTube Video! https://youtu.be/oPQso0kLUcQ 13 of 40 Birthday Experiences! September 2023 - Oktoberfest in Munich with Kassie’s Parents! Oktoberfest tip: Three different large and pretty busy tents - Kassie would ask the first waitress without beer in her hand, and ask where we could sit if we didn’t have a reservation.

SNOWDONIA (& a bit of Cardiff), WALES, UK - May 2023
7 of 40 Birthday Experiences! May 2023 - Sheep, hills, history and more! Day One: We woke up and grabbed coffee and a pastry from No 25 Cafe in Tenby, Wales before heading out in the car to Caerphilly and to walk some sheep (OMG!!!) at Duffryn Farm. After that we headed to Caerphilly Castle - which is a great one to really explore and walk around. The roads quickly went from highway to very tight 2 lane roads. It was a bit nerve-racking for Rick but the view was gorgeous. We
