A Good Reminder
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

A Superb Weekend
My niece Clara came to town this weekend and it was a lovely time. Her trip was timed just right to experience an unusually cool and pleasant August weekend here in Virginia. I’m not sure how many times we all commented on how fantastic the weather was, but we even sat outside in sweatshirts and… Continue reading

Q2 Check In
Happy summer, officially! Are you in a heat dome? We certainly are. Let me tell you, my new parsley plant does NOT like it. I am going to sound like a broken record for a moment, so bear with me, but how in the world are we already halfway through 2025?! Time is moving differently… Continue reading

Summer Bucket List – 2025 Edition
I’ve written many bucket/general aspiration/goal lists on this blog over the years.

Oops, I missed a week! I would apologize but I was busy celebrating my 30th and then flying down to the Cayman Islands for a long weekend with Patrick. Rough life, right?! I’m honestly in disbelief that it’s June already. Not in a “where has the time gone?!” kind of way, but in a “I… Continue reading

Especially shocking considering I only ran twice this week! Yesterday felt so much like a Friday that I think that confused me further… Continue reading

Hi everyone. For those of you living under a rock or tuning in for the first time, I’m Juliana’s husband, Patrick.

2014: To be fearless.
2014 is almost over. It’s unbelievable. It feels like just yesterday I was planning out my 2014 New Year’s Resolutions… So silly! See last year I had one resolution. To be fearless. My goal was to do one thing every single day that was out of my comfort zone. To do one thing that scared me.… Continue reading

Day 1
Good morning! Yesterday was pretty fun. I walked almost 11 miles. Hahaha! Yesterday I woke up at 7ish and went to the main guest house for breakfast. A bakery down the street supplies the hostel lots of bread every morning and the coffee shop across the street supplies reaaaaally good coffee. Afterwards, I got ready… Continue reading

12 Hours Later
Almost 12 full hours after leaving my apartment, I have: Flown from ATX -> SFO -> PDX. Taken my first solo taxi ride. Checked into my hostel. Met a recent UT grad! \m/ Showered. And now I’m ready to rest up for whatever tomorrow brings. I’m really hungry, but this still rocks so hard. Continue reading
