I am so freakin' thrilled that for the first time in six (!!) years, I am living in one house for more than a year! Crazy how time flies when I'm not moving state-to-state or changing mailing addresses. With that being said, now that we've lived in our little casita for a year, it was … Continue reading Small Rental Updates
I am back from an exhausting trip to Austin. Exhausting? Correct! Not just from traveling in a pandemic, concerned about every move I made, but also due to my newfound furlough at work and car troubles on my return trip. But that’s not what we’re here for on this fine Wednesday! I am here to … Continue reading I Still Love You
This week, Garrett and I were supposed to be going to Germany and France. It was a trip that I had been looking forward to for what felt like forever, but like so many others, that trip has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve been in a bit of a slump because of … Continue reading Traveling during a Pandemic

As I continue to curate my personal-home library, I thought I’d go ahead and share some of my favorite books of all time, … Continue reading If I Had a Book Club
You’ve heard of work-life balance, we all have. Your career & vocation, if they’re lucky enough to be the same thing, are fulfilling and enriching and make going to work a delight every day.

It’s pretty surreal to know that I’m going to be spending my birthday in quarantine this year. I had it all planned out - I would work the baseball game on the 17th (my actual birthday) and then G and I were going to meet my family at the Four Seasons and have a relaxing … Continue reading Quarantined Celebration!
When I went to college in 2014, I was stoked to meet the love of my life. Tinder was a thing but Bumble hadn’t quite dropped yet so I was prepared to do it the good-ole-fashioned-way. But, come summer of 2016, I had moved to Austin from Germany and I was ready for all the … Continue reading The Birds & The Bumble
On Saturday, March 14, I received a call from my doctor that said I was at high risk for contracting Coronavirus Disease 2019 or COVID-19. At first, I was terrified for more reasons than one, but mainly because being Vitamin Deficient Anemic means that I don’t create enough red blood cells to fight off serious … Continue reading Coronacation
I recently booked a trip to Heidelberg and Paris for a reunion with my best friend before her wedding and a getaway for G’s graduation - so I’ve been feeling super positive about all of the planning.
