Good morning, Vancouver! The dark and grey clouds hovered over the waterfront and the remnants of rain were left sprinkled upon the morning city streets. I was hoping for a bright and sunny day- but who was I kidding, this was the Pacific Northwest. Those days, although growing by week, were far and few between.…
Last weekend, David and I decided to cross the border and visit our neighbors to the north: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Neither of us had ever been before but had heard it’s better than Seattle- as far as beauty goes. We were about to see- but I’m pretty partial to my beautiful little city. Thankfully,…
In an effort to “be here now” and to refresh my mind, body and soul I decided to kick off Sunday morning with a sunrise hike. Up before the birds, my alarm went off at 5:15am where I proceeded to roll my way to my car stopping just long enough to fill up my water…
Every once in awhile you get those days in life that are just absolutely perfect. So perfect you sometimes forget this is a real life you are living. For me, one of those days was this past Saturday in San Francisco. Long distance relationships can be tricky and not always that fun. However, when you…
While I was studying in New Zealand, I took a class titled, “Travel Narratives.” I thought it would be right up my alley, combining my love for travel and writing. “This should be an easy A,” I thought. WRONG. Oh so wrong. Probably one of the most horrible classes I ever had to endure. I…
There are some moments in life when we just need a break from reality. I had a pretty rough week so I was very much looking forward to my day off: Friday. The mountains were calling me. I spent my day on a solo mission, checking off a 2015 bucket list item; The Big 4…
A reoccurring theme in my mind, I am surprised how much I am continually amazed with the speed of time and how quickly it passes. Two weeks back in Minnesota flew by in the blink of an eye. It’s never long enough and always extremely hard for me to say goodbye. They say it’s always…
Welcome 2015, I am so excited that you are here! You are a brand new blank page in our story that is just itching to be filled with beautiful words, stories and scribbles. I am a huge fan of lists. I need them in my everyday life to ensure I’m doing what I’m supposed to.…
My favorite part of December is that it’s at the end of the year. It’s a new start, again. (I wonder how many ‘new starts’ I give myself throughout the year. Whatever.) It’s time to flip the page and leave 2014 in our past. A lesson that is nice to look back upon and reflect…
Sometimes, I feel like my life isn’t real. Is this just me? Do other people feel that sensation as well? Some mornings I wake up and think to myself, “this isn’t real life.” This is not what life is. Certainly it can’t be what my life is. It feels like nothing is real and that…
