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,…
Even as a Pumpkin Spice Latte lovah let me agree with literally everyone when I lament how on earth is it already October?! However, I could not be more grateful this week that my house finally feels like it is for real (yeah yeah it hasn’t even been a month Ihavehighexpectationsweknowthis). A bunch of house stuff came…
The magic of the mountains is hard to describe, it feels like words can’t do justice. I did not understand it until I lived there, and even then, I don’t know that I fully understood it until I left, and yearned for home. Couple that sense of physical place and grounding with the love I…
I mean, it’s perfect. I debated what to do with this kitchen alcove/nook, but making it a coffee bar was definitely the right move. Thanks in no small part to the most amazing, badass, delicious drip coffee maker of ever, that I just got after coveting my facebook girlfriend for life’s for years… It’s the Zojirushi…
Travel. I am grateful I get to travel! Norway was beautiful, soul-searching, painful, and I’m deeply in love with it (sounds a bit like love eh?). Copenhagen was quick and charming. More on both to come soon. And now I’m off to the Circling Festival and Amsterdam… wish me luck! Follow my adventures on ig…
Tomorrow, I depart for Europe! Today, we discuss the kind of person I am and want to be. Last weekend, I played a volleyball tournament all Saturday where you switched teams every game—it was really fun, and I got to meet a bunch of people. That night, I was exhausted but felt pressure to go…
This is one of my favorites: As we discussed on Monday, which feels like AGES ago, this has been a freakin’ whirlwind, and while I’d like to be the baby tomato, it doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. Maybe I can ketchup in Europe?
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.
