Is this perhaps the most non-sensical headline I’ve ever written? Maybe. And if so, very fitting. Shhhh don’t tell anyone I haven’t posted a gratitude list since 7/13… here’s why: Travels. Tahoe. Lululemonlinenpants. Framily. SoCal. Last night. House sale. Solo drive. Tucson stop. Family. Engagement. House hunt. Brother. Grateful. Exhausted.
When my trekking backpack won’t do, and my ski backpack probably would—it’s done week-long trips in Hawaii and Morocco, after all—my upcoming two-week trip through Europe seems like a great excuse for a new travel backpack.

The desert is supposed to reset you, right? Well I didn’t spend long enough in Joshua Tree to set myself up for this whirlwind week. Nothing went the way I planned, at all, any day this week. I was stressed. I was overwhelmed. I just couldn’t even. But, Thursday night we made it to Park…
I don’t feel like I can possibly do justice to the gratitude I have in my heart for last weekend, in Aspen, with my favorite people in the whole world.
