It feels like fall weather here! I just had to get that out right away. Again, I am in no way rushing summer’s end, but how can you not revel in this glorious weather?! The last two mornings I’ve enjoyed my coffee outside and our windows are open. The only hitch in my giddy up Continue reading

Last week my dad and I went to Breckenridge, CO for a few days. I have time off between jobs and was craving an adventure. Although we weren’t there long, it was so refreshing and beautiful… and my legs are decently fatigued! We both summited our first 14ers at Quandary Peak, hiked a glorious portion Continue reading

Happy Tuesday! My goal this week is to tune into summer, enjoy each day, and to fully appreciate each moment of my life. I’ve complained ad nauseum about how this summer has been kicking my ass emotionally, mentally, and physically, and now I am ready to turn things around! We’re going to see the new Continue reading

It’s early on a Monday morning as I sit on my couch to write this. I just wrapped up a fun, very outdoorsy weekend, and now I’ve got a busy week of work coming up! I’m going to go to the gym today, but otherwise I am hoping to pick up the house a bit Continue reading

some simple joys

Today has felt like the most Friday-ey Friday I’ve had in a while. I’m reminded of being in high school, counting down the days until the weekend, psyched about the prospect of a Friday afternoon and few days off school. Next week is a busy work week so I really focused to get stuff done Continue reading
