    Turning 30: The Start of a New Year, a New Decade and a New Chapter

    January 28, 2021 /

    Like I do every year, I am ready to outline my goals, my resolutions if you will, for this next year. However, since this isn't just any birthday, it's, as I've been annoyingly saying, the start of a new chapter for me and there is a lot I hope to change and do moving forward not just this year, but in general.

    Turning 30: Looking at my 20s Through a Positive Lens

    January 26, 2021 /

    I turn 30 in just a couple days and I don't remember ever being this excited for a birthday. I turned 18 in high school, early in my senior year, so very little changed there. At 21 I had very little interest in alcohol, so that was no big achievement. And at 25 I was excited to be able to rent a car, but who really thinks about that? But 30, 30 feels different.

    I Rang in the New Year with COVID

    January 10, 2021 /

    By the title of this post, you probably can figure out what it is going to be about, but before I get into the details can I just say, could there be a more perfect wrap up to 2020? I mean we got our tests results on New Years Eve. It literally felt like 2020 was saying, "Nope you ain't getting out of here that easy."

With the expectations of social media, she doesn't get featured as much as she should, but long conversations and stinky cuddles will always be the favorite parts of my day 🐾

Then during COVID I finally had my chance to visit and I've gone twice over the last 2 years. From the minute I stepped foot in that magical desert I was in love. It was everything I dreamt of and more. During our first visit my husband and I explored all the different campgrounds and I knew I had to come sleep under the stars here. It took two years, but our trip is finally set and I can't wait!
