Texas Time
Last month, we made the trek to the Dallas area to visit Matt, Erin, Evie, and their new baby Amelia! The drive wasn’t bad, and we had a great time visiting.
Beach weekend!
My best friend Brittney is getting married soon, so we had a fun pre-wedding weekend at her parents’ place in Destin, FL. It was just me, Brittney, and her friend Molly, and we had a lovely, relaxing weekend. I, of course, got a crazy sunburn…oh, the life of an office worker.
5 Years!
A couple of weeks ago, we had our 5th anniversary. For our honeymoon in 2005, we went to San Francisco and Yosemite National Park.

We slept alright considering the outrageous winds, but we wanted to get an early start. We headed out towards the east entrance of the canyon, making a couple of stops along the way. We hit Grandview Point: and Lipan Point, which was the worst wind we encountered. I’d say we were out of the car… Continue reading Grand Canyon, part 2
Grand Canyon, part 1
First, if you are interested in doing a trip like this, be prepared to drive. A lot. I knew this was the case, so I signed Joel up for it. He’s a champ at distance driving. When we arrived in the park, after 3+ hours of driving from Phoenix, I am proud to announce that… Continue reading Grand Canyon, part 1

I got $30 one-way tickets to Phoenix for us, so we’re having a whirlwind long weekend. Joel didn’t know where we were going until this morning, although… Continue reading Joel’s Surprise
