Life Is Good

On our first night on our way to Yellowstone—my husband and I figured we are too old to drive 14 hours straight —we stayed in Sunnyside at this hotel with a huge cool barn right next to the parking lot. (Remember when I was driving all over the place looking for a local barn to […]

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 […]

I had a goal of walking 125,000 steps on our trip to Maui. I wore Chacos, flip flops, and hiking boots. Sometimes I was in shorts and a tank top, sometimes a bathing suit, and sometimes a dress. I did 153,161 steps for the simple fact that there were so many beautiful places to see.
