sunday morning musings (003)

If you ever break or fracture your sesamoid bone, literally good luck. Back in yet another cast, for another 2-3 weeks and honestly can’t even believe I am still dealing with this. Absolutely adored this post about the soundtrack of your life. It’s funny because I have actually been ...

twenty six

Today I turn 26 and I can’t believe it. Part of me feels like I should still be in high school, and part of me feels like I’ve aged 15 years in the past 18 months. Part of me feels like “twenty-six, that’s IT?” Kidding, I’m kidding. Mostly. 25 was a RIDE. To be ...

march 2020 things

Well, what a shit show? I think we can all agree on that. March got off to an okay start. We celebrated a bunch of birthdays with lots of cake and beer. We got to see all of our friends and family for Ryan’s birthday. We had a few days of normal! And then the whole world flipped upside down ...
