Last weekend my mother invited me to the Kimball Art Museum to see the exhibit Faces of Impressionism. I leapt at the chance not only to spend some quality time with my mom but I couldn't remember the last time I went to the museum. It was wonderful! I immediately remembered how much I love the way the impressionists painted, so many colors...
This year I am trying to take better care of myself, physically and mentally. I am eating healthier, drinking a lot of water, and working out but have come to realize that I need to focus on fixing my mentality. This week I have found it hard to be positive. Sometimes it is difficult to see the better things in life when things...

When I was 18 I couldn't wait to get older. Then I could make my own money and do whatever I wanted. HA! My 28 year old self is laughing. I don’t know why I wanted to grow up. Being independent is great, don’t get me wrong, but there are also a lot of downfalls that come with it. Bills on top of...

Kind of as a way to hold myself accountable. But then I would have to be a better blogger and actually blog more than a dozen times a...
via Moving. This is the one thing I hope comes to fruition this year. It is the reason Alex and I took a road trip to the Smoky Mountains, to find our future home. We did. However, in order to get there one of us needs a job or enough savings to buy us some time once we get there. This is where...
We received this card from my mom Tuesday and it left me feeling appreciative and excited. I survived 2014. Not that I was in danger of not making it through 2014 but it was a challenging year. One that left me feeling beaten and worn down. But here we are in 2015 with the possibilities and hopes a new year brings. I decided...
