Let's take this Flashback Friday to the year 2012, when I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. We're in the plane, heading up. Such an amazing feeling! We landed safely! My friend and former co-worker Kristin and I went skydiving during Spring Break that year. We both had been wanting to skydive for a … Continue reading Flashback Friday: Skydiving, 2012

Flashback Friday: College Graduation, 2004
This Flashback Friday features one of my best achievements as an adult: college graduation. The light blue tassel represents the Education department. I changed my major 3 or 4 times, so it took me a few more years than my friends to finally graduate. I went from a university, to a city college, then back … Continue reading Flashback Friday: College Graduation, 2004
Flashback Friday: NKOTB Concert, 2017
Hello, everyone! It's time for another Flashback Friday! Don't judge, but I was a huge fan of New Kids on the Block when I was in middle school, like most teenage girls in those days.

Let's take this week's Flashback Friday to 2013, when I tried to learn how to snowboard. And failed miserably. I'm smiling through my frustration.

Never mind that I don't like being … Continue reading Flashback Friday: Snowboarding, 2013

In a nutshell, the early morning was cold, my legs began to ache at around mile 9, and I finished just slightly better than I had hoped, although still pretty slow. There were a few great signs along … Continue reading Half Marathon, Full Heart
A Life List
In a mere 2 and a half years, I will be turning 40. My older brother passed away when he was that age, and so I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Thinking about my life. Thinking about how many blessings I've been fortunate to experience or have to call my own. Thinking about … Continue reading A Life List
Skydiving Moxie
I don't have a bucket list, but if I did, I would be able to cross off "Go skydiving" from it. I went for the first time this past Friday and it was INCREDIBLE! One of my work friends, Kristin, was brave enough to join me. The scariest parts of the entire experience were all … Continue reading Skydiving Moxie
