Awkward Phases

Throughout our lives, we go through many awkward phases. When we think of “awkward phases” we think of that beautiful age where puberty is just beginning. That’s when we are gawky and we are losing our childhood cuteness and transitioning in more ways than one. Typically that was the time of our lives we hadContinue reading “Awkward Phases”

We did it- ONE YEAR!

Well, here we are. One year. A year ago today I arrived at my apartment in Colorado Springs after a cross-country road trip. I was all big eyed and bushy tailed. Half terrified and half excited. The decision to move 2,000 miles across the country from a good job, great friends, my awesome family andContinue reading “We did it- ONE YEAR!”

Inspiration is Free!- at The Fine Arts Center @ Colorado College, Downtown CO Springs

People of my generation don’t typically enjoy visiting places like museums and galleries. Normally when I ask peers if they want to visit a museum I get that strange deer in headlights look. To many, it’s boring. For me, though, I seek out museums and always enjoy myself there, it’s one of my elements asContinue reading “Inspiration is Free!- at The Fine Arts Center @ Colorado College, Downtown CO Springs”

Reunited and it Feels so Good!

If there’s one thing I hoped everyone learned from 2020, it’s the value of loved ones and togetherness. Many people have been hindered from seeing their loved ones due to the pandemic. Some aren’t even able to travel abroad to be with loved ones. The value of family and friends has never been clearer. WeContinue reading “Reunited and it Feels so Good!”

Conquering the Incline- at Manitou Incline

The first week I moved out here to Colorado (soon approaching a year!) I set a personal goal for myself- to climb the Incline in as short a timeframe as possible. When I first moved out here I was still adjusting and getting settled so I told myself by spring I’d do it. Once springContinue reading “Conquering the Incline- at Manitou Incline”

Let’s go on an Electric Safari- at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Blossoms of De-Light! – at Denver Botanic Gardens’ Blossoms of Light

When it comes to Christmas, I go all in. Movies, music, decorations, funny sweaters with drunk llamas wearing Santa hats, the whole works! I absolutely love Christmas. The decorations and lights always gets to me, always gets me choked up. Something about the colors and the warm glow of holiday décor just lightens my heartContinue reading “Blossoms of De-Light! – at Denver Botanic Gardens’ Blossoms of Light”

Thankful for the Views- Thanksgiving hiking adventure at Red Mountain

This year was my first time spending Thanksgiving solo. No, this isn’t going to be a post where I whine and complain about it. I actually had a fantastic Thanksgiving despite wishing my family and friends could be here. Sure, it was disappointing I couldn’t be with my folds back East but I’ll get 9Continue reading “Thankful for the Views- Thanksgiving hiking adventure at Red Mountain”

I am grateful to have parents who have set such a great example for me in how to be a good person andContinue reading “Gratitude :)”

Let’s Get Drunk Around the World… at EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, of course!

Every year in October for my birthday (minus this one for obvious reasons), I take a special birthday trip to Disney World. For 3 reasons, 1) it’s my birthday and I don’t care how old I am Disney is still one of the most wonderful places on Earth, 2) The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival…Continue reading “Let’s Get Drunk Around the World… at EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, of course!”
