 * .site-header .wrap {
    padding: 12px 35px; }
 * That CSS rule will do the trick I think. You can adjust the px dimensions accordingly.
 * You should think about making these kind of changes in a child theme.

 * Hello Jesse!
 * I’m new to WordPress, but I think I can help!
 * In your style.css file in your child theme you have a class called .wrap it is
   set to the following:
 * .wrap {
    display: block; margin: 0 auto; padding: 35px; }
 * Try setting the padding on the bottom to 35px and leaving the rest at 0px. Below
   is an example of how to do that.
 * .wrap {
    display: block; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0px 0px 35px 0px; }
 * I hope that helps, please let me know if that answers your questions!
 * Thanks!
    Kenny
