    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 […]

    Salt Lake City Questival 2016

    Last weekend, I participated in an event called Questival. In a nutshell, it’s a 24-hour adventure scavenger hunt race. It was an awesome experience to do especially with a couple friends, and I would highly recommend participating if the event happens to come to your area. —————————————? ————————————— So, what exactly is a Questival?   […]

    6 Months into Marriage & Life Updates [Newlywed 101]

    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 […]

  • Goodbye Lucille, Hello Adventure-Mobile

    Goodbye Lucille, Hello Adventure-Mobile

    *This is a long boring personal post. I apologize for the lack of adventure in advance :)* As you may have noticed, I have not been as active on the blog as usual. That’s because I’ve been adulting so hard recently! *Cue round of applause now?* So let’s start with the terrible, sad news… My […]

    Happy Birthday Next Stop Adventure: 1 Year!

    Today marks my one year anniversary of blogging on Next Stop Adventure! It’s awesome how much this blog has helped record, share, and shape my life in the past year. Instead of sharing my life via photos on Facebook, I have a growing collection of complete stories with photos, text, and context that I can […]

    6 Books for the Adventurous Soul

    Life is an interesting beast. The only constant is change. This summer started out so promising for lots of adventures. While I’ve had some adventures this summer, the past few weeks have thrown my carefully laid plans for a loop. Without going into too much boring detail, I’ve been working on my photography skills, and […]

  • Finding Balance in Social Media

    Finding Balance in Social Media

    “I am addicted to [Insert Social Media Network Here].” Or… “It’s like my phone is connected to my body.” Have you ever heard someone say this? Have you ever said this about yourself? It’s okay, most people are. I will admit that I have a little bit of an addiction to my phone. In the […]

    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 […]
