Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Recently, my dad and I had the opportunity to have lunch together and somehow got onto the subject of my grandpa. “I miss him,” I admitted. “Grandpa had a singular ability to always make me feel special- like every day was my birthday.” As the words slipped from my mouth, I suddenly realized why my birthday often [...]

Yesterday afternoon, I realized I had put on and was wearing my underwear inside out…for the second time this week. To say I’m a bit distracted, a bit stressed, even a bit overwhelmed might come close to describing the tornado of activity and change I’ve experienced in the past two months. Might. Packing, packing, and more packing of [...]

Maybe nothing lasts- my twenties, my vacation, maybe even my relationship. Maybe one-by-one each will melt away like the glaciers we saw. But, for a moment at least, I shared a place and created memories that will never go away. No matter what comes, I’ll always be able to look back and say “remember when,” [...]

Before I write about the trip to Seattle and Alaska, before I share select pictures from our cruise and excursions and marketplace shenanigans; I feel compelled to confess an odd bit of sadness that I am feeling. There is of course the typical and to be expected mourning that the “trip of a lifetime,” which [...]

Taking significant time away last week from work, blogging, Twitter, and all things Blackberry resulted in a lot of self-reflection. I don’t really know what becoming “30″ means or how that’s supposed to change me…poof! You’re a grown up? But what I do know, trite as it may be, is that I’ve learned a lot along the way. [...]

Tomorrow, I turn 30. 3-0. As in the age that I thought at the beginning of my twenties I’d be married and be done having all the kids I planned to have. Beyond that I hadn’t invested much thought. It was my small town mentality at work, my “worldview” as you could call it. And, [...]
