this week #43
Hi! Three posts in three days! I guess I’ve just had a lot on my mind. I am trying to soak up the rest of summer before I start my new job after Labor Day. Oh, yeah! Surprise! I am starting a new job soon 🙂 Long story short, I was offered an opportunity I Continue reading

this week #42
It’s the end of July?! What a long month. So much happened. Some good, some bad, some busy, some boring. We’re still missing Bear every day, but are also glad to love on Alaska a little extra. Patrick and I were walking this morning and discussing how rough of a month July was. We’re trying 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

this week #40
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

this week #39
Well, life continues on, doesn’t it? It’s a weird thing to have felt such loss last week and then you just… continue. I miss Bear and always will, and I don’t think I am done crying yet, but for now I am so grateful he’s at peace and that we still have Alaska to love Continue reading

For Bear
We lost our sweet dog Bear this week unexpectedly, and I’ve never felt grief like this. He was 13.5 years old, and we got to spend the most amazing 8 years with him. His sister Alaska is still with us, and we’re loving on her harder than ever. I want to wax poetic about Bear. Continue reading

this week #38
Let me describe the atmosphere I’m in as I type this: it’s raining (a lot!), my favorite Spotify summer jazz playlist is on softly in the background, and freshly baked chocolate chip zucchini bread is sitting on the stove. I know I’ve complained a lot about the weather this summer – and I do feel Continue reading

Things I’ve Been Meaning to Do
I have a long list of things I’ve been meaning to do. Don’t we all?! Some are small, quick tasks and others are a bit more involved. Some are silly or just for fun and others are actually important and possibly even time sensitive! It’s not that I’ve been intentionally procrastinating, but I keep telling Continue reading

Summer Bucket List – 2025 Edition
I’ve written many bucket/general aspiration/goal lists on this blog over the years. [Running bucket list, Spring 2025, Fall 2024, Summer 2024, 2023 Aspirations, 2022 Aspirations – to name a few!] I absolutely love writing them and reflecting on what is exciting or inspiring to me… even if I rarely end up actually marking things off Continue reading

food and running, what’s new?!
I haven’t taken the time to sit down to write in a bit, but I did capture a few random photos from various happenings over the last week! We got back from Grand Cayman late on Monday, so I had a short week at work but it still felt oddly long. Last night I was Continue reading
