life is good today.

My toes sink between the sand as the hot Southern California sun breaths down my sweater. I closed my eyes and let the sun fill up my soul. Behind me, palm trees reach the sky and they dance back and forth against the ocean breeze. We were spending Thanksgiving weekend in one of my favorite…

thankful.

It’s that time of the year again- the time when we gather around the table with a glass of wine, some delicious food and of course, our closest friends and family. It’s the time of the year when we remind ourselves exactly why we are so blessed and for all the reasons we are thankful. As…

Viva Las Vegas!

“Holiday RoooOOOooooad…” the classic song echoed as Dave and I belted it out late Thursday night. Paired with some ridiculous dance moves, we packed for our own little Holiday Road over to Las Vegas. Our friends from New York would be there for World’s Toughest Mudder so we figured why not go? We never miss…

The Scenic Route: 25.

In one week, I’ll be 25. Excuse me while I go have a mini mid-life crisis… . .. … …. ….. …. … .. . The past couple of weeks, life has been such a whirlwind tying up loose ends in preparation for my move to San Diego, I haven’t had a ton of time…

C’est La Vie

I have no answers. No insightful things to say. No advice to be given. All I have are a bunch of questions roaming around in my head. As the days go on so does our life. Turning the page, closing one chapter and starting a new one. Goodbyes are never easy and always seem to…

Must Reads of 2015.

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…

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.…

Life Is But A Dream;

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…

Discovery Park- Farewell 2013.

Adventure 1; Part 2: Discovery Park – Goodbye, 2013.  Is there any better way to spend the last day of the year than by discovering a new place in a foreign location?     I think not. New Years Eve morning, we awoke ready to head on an adventure. We loaded in the Blazer and…

The Challenge

I can hardly believe it’s already 2014- and almost a month in. I feel the time flying around me. My greatest fear is waking up one day, old and realizing I didn’t do enough in life. I refuse to let that happen. I refuse to believe that I can’t do anything and everything in this…
