Life Is Good

We drove by Biscuit Basin this morning around 9 o’clock. Ken asked me, “You wanna stop?” “Nope. If you want me to hike that Lone Star Geyser trail, I want to do it before it gets too hot.” We continued and drove the two miles to Old Faithful, where we happened to catch the eruption. […]

After four days of road-tripping and visiting friends and family along the way, we finally made it into Yellowstone National Park. We walked and walked and walked, thinking that Old Faithful might be up in the distance, but after three miles, we finally turned around, realizing that we were nowhere near that famous landmark.

After staying three nights in three different towns on our road trip, my husband and I finally arrived in Yellowstone. Instead of heading immediately to the park like most people, we had to find me some shirts because I only brought two. Let’s be clear. I hate shopping and do it because I have to. […]

Six days ago, I mentioned how I was hyper (thyroid issues) and I was going to sing the entirety of our 14-hour road trip to Yellowstone. I’ve stayed true to my word, except for the few times Ken asked me to stop. There’s just something about singing in the car, eh? I only cried about […]

While my husband and I were visiting our friends in Sunnyside (on our way to Yellowstone), we took a few moments to admire her horses. Tracy has always loved them. Me? I used to adore riding. Until I had one bad experience after another. Now I am petrified of horses. I could barely pat this […]

My husband and I could have done a straight shot to Yellowstone—fourteen hours in the car—but we stopped in Sunnyside because of this: great friends that we don’t get to see nearly enough.

Celebrated the release of “Unique” today with a trip to Red Robin. Apparently, we do not know how to look at the camera, my hair is kinda messed up, and don’t ask me what’s on my upper lip. All I know is we had a great time eating french fries together and discussing all the […]

This beautiful hollyhock just showed up in my yard this summer. Why yes, please.

Who can be crabby when you’ve got all these beautiful flowers growing in your yard?
