Those empty roads were soon filled with bumper-to-bumper traffic called life. Between meeting my now husband in 2015, finishing graduate school in 2016, going on my first mission trip, starting a new career, planning a wedding all in 2017, getting married and figuring out how to balance life with my career in 2018, writing this book happened sporadically over the past four years.

The idea for Tea for Two first came to me four years ago, back when I was an avid blogger. My blog was filled with inspirational and encouraging posts.
