Happy Valentine’s Day. I love love. I love celebrating love. I do not love Valentine’s Day, but we are having friends over for dinner tonight to celebrate their engagement, so I am thrilled to be celebrating love on this love day! I am coming up on a year married to the love of my life,…
Grateful for the nitty gritty in every day experiences: Sitting outside in the sunshine in a sweater and leggings but barefoot: this is a Texas thing only, methinks. It’s a glorious, fleeting feeling. A brisk walk, just around the block, to get sunshine on my face before I start my day. Cold, crisp, not slow…
Let’s hope this isn’t a harbinger of things to come, but maybe it’s just a new normal? Maybe we’re just more flexible with time overall in 2025 … In the new year, as in every year, I have so much to be grateful for. Like: We hit some good workouts this week, ate well, and…
The joy of skiing. Sometimes I shock even myself with how much I love skiing. It’s honestly such a pain: layers and special socks and what boots to wear pre- and post- ski boots and layers after ski and how to keep your hair from freezing and hauling all the gear and stuffing your pockets…
I love the rain. There was a 12% chance of rain this morning, but it’s been sprinkling all day and it’s dark and cold and cozy. I’m finishing The Paris Affair and while it started slowly, I don’t want it to end, even though I think I know how it does, now. I almost wish…
The biggest day of gratitude! What a coast-to-coast whirlwind the last week has been but I am grateful for my family, the opportunities, and my new, bigger family on the east coast! Holiday season is here, and boy is it packed with activities! I am so excited to catch up with so many people and…
Thank you, blog readers, for sticking with me this past year as I very erratically posted. I love blogging and always will, but there’s a lot in question as to mediums, who is reading (I’m pretty sure I can name all of you 😉 lol), and if it’s even worth it? It is. Sporadic, as…
This past weekend, I played 22 hours of volleyball—drilled, more accurately. My doubles partner and I attended Better at Beach’s 3-Day Mini Camp and it was some of the most fun I’ve had playing volleyball in a long time. I learned SO MUCH, and have so much to work on now, not the least of…
You can click through to ig for the fifth pic – from my amazing birthday party! Backyard Ball supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – always an amazing time. Quick trip just the two of us to Colorado, buying a bike and accidentally extending a hike. The best dog. Pretty city from a truck window after…
I’m so excited for this weekend. Birthdays are such a great excuse for celebrating, traveling, and relaxing, and for this milestone bday we’re doing it ALLLLLL! Valle de Guadalupe was incredible. The food was awesome, the views were amazing, and there was *some* great wine. We had so much fun, relaxing and eating well and…
