What A Year

Hi! It’s been so long. 2023 has been quite the year. The hardest year of my life, I think. To say this year has had its ups and downs would be an understatement. I think I have experienced nearly every emotion a human can over the last 11 months and while it has been a Continue reading

2023 Aspirations List
Hello and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We celebrated on the 23rd since Erica worked all weekend, so the 24-25th ended up being very chill. I think we spent time reading, hanging out, cooking, and running/riding in the cold. It’s not often that I can casually relax and do (almost) nothing without losing Continue reading

2022 Aspirations: Revisited

I can’t believe that 2022 is practically over. This year was the most present I’ve felt since the pandemic started and yet January 2022 still feels like it was a different lifetime. I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster this year and it was quite the experience. I don’t know if I would say Continue reading

on this summer
Happy Sunday from my porch! Patrick is off on a long bike ride and my legs are in desperate need of a break. I had a heavy squat block on Thursday that has left me sore for days and, while running did seem to shake some of the soreness, I think it’s best for me Continue reading

spring is coming
The weather has taken a turn, y’all! The last few days have been sunny, breezy, with highs in the 50s and clear blue skies. I’m in love. It feels like a breath of air after the gray, snowy month we’ve had. I can’t help but get excited for spring and summer and all the good Continue reading

Good morning and happy Monday! I don’t know why, but I felt inspired to show up here today. I had a wonderful, running-filled, outdoorsy weekend and now I am feeling tired but very happy. It took a while for me to get out of bed (I was just so comfy), but a couple of cups Continue reading

Note to Self: Job Hunting Edition
Hi! Long time no see. This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. My AmeriCorps term ends on June 29th and then I’ll hopefully have another job lined up. It’s been a heart-wrenching and stressful thing for me to think about and plan for and I’ve wanted to share why that is the Continue reading

whirlwind
Hot dang. The last week has been quite the whirlwind. Last Tuesday, Patrick and I left to go to his parents’ house in Alabama where we stayed for a couple days. We went shopping and went to the beach and ate a lot of delicious food. It was also a welcome break between so much Continue reading

ramblings of an almost grad
Ohhhh Lordy I do not have the words for my thoughts, but I’m going to give it a go anyway. Y’all. This period of my life is stressful and also boring at the same time. And it has me feeling all sorts of things. I graduate in 8 days, move in 10 days, and start Continue reading

joy joy joy
If you have read my blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed that I feel passionately about a lot of things. I’ve probably posted about passion more times than I could count. I know how passion works like a magnet and I feel drawn to people that are willing to share it. But it came Continue reading
