Happy New Year 2019!

Yep you read that correctly. I said Happy New Year and it's March! Let me back up, because the last time I wrote a post was at Thanksgiving. Which means we've all gotten through the holiday season and even a couple months into 2019 already. I went through defeating medical experiences at the end of …

Tea Party Thank You

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 …

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 …

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 …
