Tracey says
Odd question. Where you on HGTV’s, Property Virgins? lol
Chad says
Hi Tracey, I was not on Property Virgins, but I do watch that show every so often.
Sara says
Hi Chad, this is Sara’s sister, Jess. She is across the room assembling an interesting glassware container with cool succulents that she collected from her recent trip to the southwest. The truth is that we were looking for a different Chad Williams and came across you by accident. I thought your site was very clever. Sara agreed. She is a graduate of CU Boulder- (photography) an avid snowboarder and a travel addict. Fascinatingly, your list was a lot like hers in many ways. We think like spirited people should connect. But alas, her hands are dirty and wouldn’t put down the plants in order to type this. So, I am her scribe! hello Chad Williams! Perhaps your lists get compared some day.
