There are some women in my life who really stepped up for me during my surgeries and recoveries. I mean really went above and beyond. My best friend came down after each hip to help care for me. She had her husband switch his work schedule so he had multiple days off in a row …

Dance Party!
Coming full circle... I truly love full circle moments. And last night was a big one for me. In February 2017, when I was bedridden after my neck and right hip surgery, I made two big goals for after recovery. As many of you know, goal #1 was a trip to Portugal and Morocco. I completed …
Labor Day Weekend
Two close guy friends came into town for the long weekend. We had a ton of fun, but it was an odd weekend. Let me explain. So Sam came in town Thursday to Sunday and Truc overlapped Saturday to Tuesday. Sam and I cruised down to Baja for a day trip on Friday. We ate …
A Gung-ho Summer
Ever since getting back from my road trip, I have been so exhausted. My body did better than expected for sleeping on an air mattress for a week and with the long drives, but man, it all wiped me out. I was talking about this with my physical therapist. I'm kind of surprised that the …
Road Trip
This was my final trip of this summer season. Lucy and I road tripped up to San Francisco for five days to visit my friends I was in Morocco with and then down to Santa Barbara for 2-3 days to see one of my best friends. I had never driven that far in the car …
Summertime
I love summer! It is easily my favorite season. Wow! This summer did NOT disappoint. I have been traveling a ton, hanging with so many close friends, both who live in town and who have come to visit and seriously just laughed my way through this whole season. Best part is it's not even over …
Belize Birthday Trip
It was an unBELIZEable trip! We had a really fun crew and the whole time was spent laughing and exploring. We ate soooo much lobster and it was all delicious. I'm also obsessed with fry jacks now. Such a delicious Belizean breakfast option. We did an insanely long bike ride (like 22 miles long) all …
Paper Challenge
So I went to get a glass of wine with a friend at a local winery and ending up doing the "paper challenge." I had never heard of this before, but saw some people balancing on one leg and bending down to lift a piece of paper up with only their mouth. I was intrigued …
Inspirational Writing
When I came back from my trip, I spent a lot of time reflecting and journaling. This is one of the posts I wrote: This trip was so special. It's been something I’ve been thinking about doing for two years now. I would dream about it while on bed rest. But somehow once it approached, …
A Meaningful Experience
"A meaningful experience is a glass of wine. It needs to breathe and open up; it can only be fully appreciated when you return to it later." -Noelle Hancock My trip to Portugal and Morocco was most definitely a meaningful experience. I suspect I'll return to the memories many times as it was just one …
