Last spring, Patrick’s sister Mollie studied abroad in Dublin, Ireland. We were so excited for her and wanted to share the experience so we planned a trip for a week in March. Lucky for us, our siblings have studied in some really cool places and we always make sure to visit them.

Last Thursday, my sister Carla and I hopped on a plane to finally visit my best friend Nicole. The trip was a long time coming. Nicole has lived in Florida with her husband for a year (he’s military) and I’ve been promising to visit since they moved.

If you had told me ten years ago that my sister Carla and I would one day be building businesses side-by-side and working together, I would have thought you were crazy. We’ve always been entrepreneurial (growing up in a house where your parents run their own business will do that…), but we did NOT always get along.
