Memorial Day Weekend
Hello friends! If you are in the states, Happy Memorial Day. We have the day off today, which is so nice. I don't know what to do with all this unstructured time. I simultaneously want to do all the things and do nothing. I realized that I hadn't had a proper day off (not counting… Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend
Home Again
Hello friends! I hope you've had a lovely holiday season regardless of what you celebrate. I'm writing to you from South Texas. Everyone has been asking me how it feels to be back in Texas, and my standard response has been, "IT'S SO SUNNY. AND WARM." When we left Indiana, snow from the previous week… Continue reading Home Again
‘Tis the Season
Happy Thanksgiving friends! This month has flown away from me and I can hardly believe it. Work has been very busy and stressful. Lots of deliverables, lots of those ~hard-earned~ lessons about project management as I continue working through this steep learning curve. Can't I just skip the part where I make mistakes so I… Continue reading ‘Tis the Season
Happy 2019 (With a Hike and Little Trip Down Memory Lane)
Happy New Year, friends! I hope you all had a great start to the new year.

Climbing the Rock is a rite of passage for any Texan. Before my studies intensified in the summer, I was trying to organize a trip to… Continue reading Enchanted Rock and Fredericksburg Trip
Vacation Coziness
Good morning all! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I've been on vacation all week, and it's been AWESOME. I really needed the break. If I'm being honest, this time between Christmas and New Year's is my favorite part of the holiday season. It's still festive but there's less pressure about Christmas, and… Continue reading Vacation Coziness
Simply Having
THIS SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD FOREVER. Hi everyone. But seriously - "Wonderful Christmastime" has burrowed its way into my brain since we decorated our tree several days ago. Husband told me he had never heard of that song before, and I was like WHAT WORLD DO YOU LIVE IN. I have mixed feelings… Continue reading Simply Having

Three Things for 2017
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a relaxing Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/whatever you celebrate. I've been having a pretty relaxing mini-vacation. Boyfriend and I traveled home to see our families (we're from the same hometown, which is pretty convenient). I've been relaxing with family and friends, crafting, gorging on food my mom has been making, running with… Continue reading Three Things for 2017
