The Journey Begins

Wow, I’m actually doing it. I’m starting a blog. I know it may not seem like a huge accomplishment to some, but for me, it feels like a step in the right direction! It feels like I have so much going on in my life right now that I need to document and/or talk about!…

This weekend, two of my favorite people and I went on a quick but amazing trip to Boulder, Colorado. The decision to take the trip was made on really short notice, but we’ve always been good at acting on a whim. We decided to leave on Friday after my friend got off work and drive through…

Everything we think about impacts us in one way or another. What do you think about most?

To Those Whose Size Just Happens to be Double Digits.

I know how you feel. I can’t remember a time when I was below a size 10. And that used to really affect me. I remember once when I was in 5th grade, I was standing in the lunch line with a couple friends. We started talking about clothes and what size jeans we wore….
