Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. “ -George Washington Carver So far this year, I have already volunteered 48.5 hours! I have really enjoyed volunteering, and I cannot wait to … Continue reading Volunteering!

January is officially over! So it’s time for a one-month check in on ALL of my resolutions 🙂 HEALTH: Run 1000 miles- Yikes I am way behind on this! I have been super slacking on my workouts, and I only ran 20 this entire month! I will get back on track though. I’m waiting for the sun to rise sooner so that I can go … Continue reading January Check-In!

I just wanted to post some pics I have taken lately 🙂 A cool chandelier at the restaurant (Bumheads?) my brother, mom, and I ate at in Tucson:     The sunrise last Tuesday off of my balcony:     Sunday’s rainbow & Monday’s storms, from my balcony: The sunset last night off (Tuesday) of my balcony– realize what magnificent views I have every single … Continue reading Pretty, pretty pictures!

Reflecting upon my weekend & the other things I have to update on, I have realized this past weekend was a true girl weekend! First I hung out with Sunny & my mom (both girls) Then I watched…umm…uhh..oh ya, “The Lucky One” (chick flick) Then I went to dinner with Katie & Nadia (…and Justin but he let us talk about girl things)  Then I … Continue reading Girls Weekend!

Sunny is officially my dream dog!  While Kipper stole my heart because he is a little baby puppy & adorable, any cute puppy would!  (Especially any cute puppy that has a meltdown when he is separated from you.)  Sunny though, Sunny is my best buddy!  She is perfect.  She is a lab mix (50 pounds) so she can keep up on runs, while having the … Continue reading My dream dog: Sunny

While a longer post with some great pics of Sunny will come tomorrow, I wanted to let everyone know that I had an epiphany today!  I have realized that Kipper & Sunny most certainly must be long lost siblings.  The proof is in the pictures…. 🙂       Continue reading Long lost siblings– Kipper & Sunny

I found out today that I will be taking Sunny this weekend to an adopt-a-thon event in Scottsdale.  I am very excited for her!  I think she is going to love, love, love interacting with all of the other dogs & so many new people.  She is such a social butterfly!  Sunny is happiest when she is slobbering other dogs with love or being loved … Continue reading Coming soon: Saturday with Sunny Part 3!

After this post, I’m finally caught up! Last week, I registered on LiveMocha to practice my French.  So far I am surprised by how much I remember! On Friday, I happened to glance at my phone on my drive home from work & Sarah Stevenson was calling me!  We decided to grab dinner at Oregano’s.  As always, it was so fun to see her!  I … Continue reading Quick updates!

Playing blog catch-up now! Last Monday, my mom & I went down to Tucson for the evening to watch Derek’s hockey team– The Purple People Eaters– play in the league championships! Unfortunately, they lost…BUT….Derek scored a goal!!!!!  I was so proud of him & thankful to have captured it on camera: Many of Derek’s friends came to the game and they were very funny & … Continue reading Derek’s hockey game!

Kipper is a very special boy!  He is a puppy (<1 year in age) & a Corgi mix, and I personally think he may have some Daschaund in him too, since he is so long & skinny & has a similar face. I picked Kipper up at 8:15AM, and he came BOUNDING out of the back, without a leash, straight toward me.  He was so … Continue reading Kipper– the perfect puppy!
