2021 November – Week 44
It’s NaNo! All I have time for are the pics and some quick explanations… Sunday My new picture frames and photos are up and they make me smile every time I walk in the house. Brian will forever have a piece of my heart, but it was time for those pictures to come down. Monday…

Tripsicle headed back east. It wasn’t as fun as the first leg of the trip, but it was nice to be back on the road with my dad. Sunday We altered our plans a little after spending an extra night on the west coast, and instead of stopping in Boise, Idaho, we went a little…
2021 June – Week 25
We made it. The school year is over. It’s funny how when you’re in the thick of it, everything feels so important, so pressing.

If you’ve ever sprained an ankle, perhaps you’re familiar with the feeling of being swollen, heavy… the dull yet persistent, permeating ache, and the way your ankle protests being used….
2021 April – Week 15
It’s starting to not feel like a pandemic anymore. It obviously isn’t over, but it feels like the sun is rising on a new day… We’re all still masked-up at school, big events are still postponed, and I remain cautious. But everyone and everything feels more optimistic right now. Until, you know, you look at…
2021 April – Week 14
Who doesn’t love a week off, especially when the weather is so ready for you to join it outside? The temperature mostly sat in the upper sixties and lower seventies (though there was a day that reached for eighty and very nearly grabbed it), and the sun blessed us with a warmth the wind lightly…
