    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 have been excited to turn 30 since last year and even though COVID is throwing a wrench into many of my celebration plans, that doesn't change how thrilled I am to be leaving my 20s…

    Plans for a Healthier September

    September 7, 2020 /

    My body aches. I get headaches and stomach aches all the time. My anxiety is back at full force and my emotions are all over the place. My clothes are fitting tight again and my muscle mass is disappearing. I'm just one big mess again. So this month I've decided to get back on track and I'm listing my goals here to keep me in check and hold me accountable.

    Quarantine Day 84-96: My final entry

    June 21, 2020 /

    I have decided this will be my final Corona Journal Entry. I haven't yet been called back to work, nor do I know when that will happen. The country is no longer in full quarantine, yet also still not open. It's kind of this weird we all wear masks and are afraid to come close to each other, but we can go to bars and go shopping again. It's really very strange and I personally don't have any interest in going out to crowded public spaces yet. On top of all this, protests are still happening all around the country, American's everywhere demanding long over due change.

    Quarantine Day 68-70: 7 Things I Learned in 70 Days

    May 26, 2020 /

    Today marks 70 days of self isolation. 70 days since I was last at work. 70 days since I was last able to have any sort of real social gathering. 70 days since I have been able to visit my mom. It has been 70 days of ups and downs, good days, bad days, productive days and lazy days. I've had days where I've really struggled, days where it was hard to get out of bed, but lately, I have found myself in a really good place. I have used this time of isolation to work on projects and catch up on some entertainment. I've also used this time to…

    Quarantine Day 51-59: 2020 is still going to be my Year

    May 15, 2020 /

    There seemed to be an overall consensus that 2019 sucked! And I fully agree with that. 2019 was definitely one of my worse years on record and I was so looking forward to 2020. Then COVID-19 happened and there once again seems to be an overall agreement that this year has gone to hell as well. For a moment there I would have agreed, but I've been thinking a lot lately, doing a lot of reflecting and, although I was struggling there for a minute, overall I'm happy. I'm happy and I feel like I'm headed in a very healthy direction.

During my first visit to @joshuatreenps I fell in During my first visit to @joshuatreenps I fell in love with the joshua tree. They look like something out of a Dr Seuss book, something from another world. During my second trip to Joshua Tree, I finally got to see the Cholla Cactus Garden, and they are almost even more magical, the way they glow in the sunlight β˜€οΈπŸŒ΅ they don't even look real.

I'm not built for the city or the suburbs. I need I'm not built for the city or the suburbs. I need quiet. I need fresh air and clear skies. I need nature. And yesterday made that so so clear to me. I haven't been feeling myself lately and I knew a lot of it had to do with me being stuck at home for so many months straight and I was hoping getting away for a day would help, but I had no idea how much and how quickly. The moment I stepped out of the car in @joshuatreenps and took a deep breath of fresh air I couldn't help but smile. I felt happy and at peace. I wasn't panicked or stressed about anything. I finally felt right. 🌡

Gardening is slowly taking over my life and I love Gardening is slowly taking over my life and I love it! Spring has officially arrived and that means it's time to really get planting. Already the yard and garden is transforming, and I can't wait to watch the rest of it grow and bloom. 🌱
Was out just enjoying my jasmine (wish you could smell photos sometimes) and was so excited to see this little guy enjoying them too 🐝

Anyways, back on track, getting to know you better and getting to be a bigger part of your life has been one of the best things to happen to me these past few years ❀️ You are growing up to be a very impressive, hardworking young man and I can't see what the future holds for you. In this coming year I wish for nothing but good things and great adventures for you (and for us I wish for more pictures lol) πŸ’• Love you kid!

It's starting to warm up here in SoCal, so it feel It's starting to warm up here in SoCal, so it feels weird to share a photo of leaves changing in Utah back in early fall, but this was the last time I was outside exploring nature and I'm dying to get back out there. I want to climb mountains and cross streams. I want to hear the birds chirping and the leaves rustling. I just want to get out of the house and out of my neighborhood.
