Our Second Anniversary
Today is our two year anniversary. 17,520 hours. 730 days. As I sit here in our townhome near Seattle, I read back over my thoughts from last year’s anniversary and I am laughing just a little bit. At this time last year, we had just bought our first house and we were settling in… or […]

Bainbridge Island & Guillemot Cove [Hike 8/52]
After spending too much time being indecisive about how to spend the sunny day, we landed on going to Guillemot Cove. I’ll be real for a second… It was not our favorite hike (because, let’s be honest, not everyone can be), but we did enjoy exploring a new area (Seabeck/Kitsap County). The trails are interconnected, […]

Seattle Waterfront Argosy Cruise [Seattle Attraction]
While Brighton’s mom was visiting, we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful blue skies so we ventured to downtown Seattle. We chose to try the Argosy Cruise – Seattle Waterfront. It’s a 1 hour cruise of the Seattle harbor. Our tour guide was pretty funny and knowledgable about the area. There were three decks […]

Seattle Bucket List
One of my favorite things to do in new cities is be a tourist (without tourist shame) and try both the tourist attractions and the hidden “locals only” spots! Prior to moving, I had been to Seattle twice in my life– once in 2010 and again in 2015. As we have visitors coming to visit […]

Salt Lake City’s Best 52 Hikes [Book Review]
In my spare time, when I’m not hiking or editing photos, I am usually researching for what hikes I want to explore. I’ve read that part of the satisfaction of vacations (or anything you’re excited for) is the actual planning & anticipation of the activity itself. I feel that’s extremely accurate for my experiences. I […]

Coming in 2018: Seattle
We have BIG NEWS!… We’re moving to Seattle, Washington! Writing that statement sends a wave of emotion through my body! I am excited and nervous, which I suppose is to be expected. Bitter + Sweet I would say that the best way to describe my sentiment right now is bittersweet. I have been in Utah […]

Today is my 26th birthday! My birthday was generally uneventful, but with lots of love from my family, friends near and far, and coworkers. Since I unfortunately didn’t have the day off, I woke up early to get some work done, ran to a few of my hotels for special birthday treats, and finished a […]
