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 […]

San Diego & Arizona – Thanksgiving Road Trip [Day 1 & 2]
For Thanksgiving, we decided to go out and visit Chase, Brighton’s older brother in San Diego. I’ve only been once, for Ragnar, and I was working the whole time so I didn’t explore very much. We had 3-4 days to spend exploring the city for Thanksgiving and my birthday! This is the first post in […]

Happy Fall, ya’ll! Well, I guess fall is mostly over, but still look at those colors! I’ve been quiet on here recently- I’ve been super busy with photography and doctor’s appointments… Two weeks ago, I sliced my tendon on my left index finger. Two stitches, 3 doctors visits (so far), and 2 splints later… I’ll […]
