I went on my first road trip to Mexico this past weekend to celebrate the 4th of July. I just love it down there and we enjoyed hanging with some good friends. I did a lot of stairs and took my first small beach walk! I had to walk over some slippery beach rocks too …

A Life Without Hip Dysplasia
June was hip dysplasia month, however I think we'd all agree that every month deserves happy hips! This link goes to a great poem about living with hip dysplasia or actually dreaming about what it would be like to not have hip dysplasia. It hits so close to home and you can feel the emotions …
Hip Dysplasia Awareness Month!
June is Hip Dysplasia Awareness Month! A month that'll be forever near and dear to my heart. Dysplasia affects more people than you'd ever know. I had know idea, but there is a big community of affected children AND adults. I've attached several photos of more information on this cause. It'll describe more about dysplasia, …
Auntie Love
One of my best friends had a baby a couple weeks ago and asked me to come up and help her. I'm so honored she asked for my help and I'm so happy I can finally drive up and see her. We've been joking for months that we're basically doing the same things but can't …
Seattle Trip 2
Here's a bunch of pictures from the actual graduation. Congratulations Marlise!

Seattle Bound
Lucy and I made it to Seattle. This was my first time flying alone (minus Miss Lucy Lu) since neck surgery. I can't thank Alaska Airlines enough for their kindness and help with everything. It all went so smoothly and I didn't even have to lift a bag. I'm totally over the humility of sitting …
4 Months Post Op
Today marks 4 months post op for my hip and the 200th day of using my bone growth stimulator! It was a big week for me physically and I feel like I may have turned a corner this week. I met this lovely lady and fellow PAO Warrior at a San Diego "hippie" meet up …
POR Weekend

They put on an annual run and this year it is in November, but during the year there are several other events with the charity. Every year they put a team together and run the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon. I …
Friends
Chris and I took the train up to Santa Barbara and then headed to Solvang for the half marathon tomorrow. I won't be running obviously haha! Heather and her husband, RJ, got a babysitter for their kids and came up to meet us. It was so fun having dinner and drinks with close friends! Each time …
