Happy New Year! 2019 was such a full and exciting year for Jeremy + Audrey. They traveled a ton, celebrated the release of A Love Letter Life, Ember hit huge milestones, and so much more! AND there are a few surprises in this episode you may not have known. They are excited to take you BTS of their 2019!
