This gratitude list was meant to be about my Marriage Certificate Trio visit—for which I am still obviously exceptionally grateful for—but this week contained so much more… How is it possible only 7 days have passed since the last Feel Good Friday? Last weekend was a marathon, epic Austin weekend (sans ANY visits to bars—hooray!).…
I’m off to Mammoth for our second annual Super Bowl weekend ski trip! I was asked recently what my hobbies are and the first thing I said was “travel!” followed closely by “and gym, yoga, playing sports …” but if you look at my calendar, it’s basically all travel all the time. It’s exhausting. But…
Aspen Real life. This Aspen/Vail trip was characterized by getting to share real life with my best friends—often, visits turn into vacations, but this one got to include couch nights, deep conversations and also the complete lack of conversation that characterizes the deepest friendships. We went out and had a blast too, but I was…
For someone who hasn’t spent much time here since she’s moved back, the New Year’s Eve party I decided to throw basically only because I had a friend in town and didn’t want to go to the bars was pretty epic—I invited the few friends I’ve made, trusted their friend groups, and it all blended…
Thanksgiving is the day for gratitude. I get to be with my awesome family for five days! I’m sure you’ll hear more about it next Friday in the weekly gratitude list / recap of allll the amazing things I have to be grateful for, so we’re just gonna move along to … Unexpected New Orleans…
I’m on a plane to New Orleans, that I was supposed to be on yesterday. But I had hopped on a plane Monday for two meetings in 48 hours in OC, and when I got back to Austin just couldn’t get everything done in time to take off again. Though I agonized over the change…
I’m doing BFree Yoga‘s Happy Body Happy Mind 21 Day Challenge, and it’s pretty lax—do some yoga, meditate, feel good, boom. But I wanted to do all 21 days of yoga in a row as part of it. Well, per yogic tradition, the universe has other plans. Great plans! Fun plans! But not yoga-every-day plans. So…
Well, I made some new friends and biked around once the weather cleared up and had some awesome dinners with awesome people and it’s beginning to almost feel like I live here in Austin. Which is good because technically I moved here 5 months ago next week (although I long joked that I was moving…
Despite the deluge of rain the past few days weeks month, I managed to squeeze in some much-needed yard work last weekend. I asked my dad to help me—I wanted to tear out some bushes for an herb garden and move some stones around, he decided we should trim all the tree limbs and brought…
Except, y’know, I’m a girl. Was boys weekend where three of my closest dude friends flew in from literally all over the country (Atlanta, Tucson, OC) to hang out, hit up one day of ACL, and explore Austin really just a week ago?! It was so much fun. There were missed airport pickups, scooters, mubers,…
