Welcome to the Holidays!
Feeling nostalgic, I decided to pull up my blog post from this time last year and I found that I wrote a blog post very similar to the one that I have in mind for this one right now. Life is truly about cycles, whether it be seasons, holidays, family, or major life events. At […]

25.
Today is my 25th birthday! Hooray— a quarter century! I’m spending my birthday driving for 11-12 hours to San Diego to see Brighton’s brother, Chase in sunny California. We’ve been talking about visiting for a while, and Thanksgiving seemed like a great time to drive out. The weather in SLC is turning cold and wet, […]

The Importance of Saying ‘No’
Let’s be real for a few minutes. As I reflect on the last year of my life, I am extremely grateful to be where I am today. As you may know, I’ve changed gears and started a photography business back in the summer. I cannot describe how happy its made me. I feel like my outlook […]

3 Months into Marriage [Newlywed 101]
When I realized it’s been 3 months into our marriage already (July 2), I had a couple thoughts: 1) Is it really July!? 2) Not much has changed since the wedding. 3) So far, so good… Let’s keep it up, team! When Brighton and I got back from our mini-moon, people kept asking us how […]

Taking Risks
Man, does time fly! We are already in July 2016. Brighton jokes that I say that every month… and he might be right. That’s because I am always looking forward at what I have coming up that I tend to round time rather ridiculously. For instance, last weekend I said, “I can’t believe that June […]
