The Engagement & How I Met My Future Husband [Wedding]
Brighton and I are engaged! I am super excited! Let me tell you some back story about how we met… How I Met My Future Husband– It was Kismet! My First Visit to SLC – November 2013 Snow in Park City! Something that I get asked by people a lot is how Brighton and I […]

Day 5: Denver, CO to Salt Lake City, UT
December 31, 2013 Today was the final day of our road trip (and of the year)! Our journey took us through the rest of Colorado, across Wyoming, and finally into Utah. Surprisingly, I drove for most of the day. I haven’t had a lot of experience driving in the mountains so it was a new […]

4 SLC Coffee Shops to Fuel Your Caffeine Addiction
In the past 2 years, I have started drinking coffee regularly. It all started on my cross-country road trip with my sister to Utah from Florida. When you’re driving for 10-12 hours a day, caffeine is a must! My sister and I would visit Starbucks in whichever city we stayed in overnight and keep on […]

Backpacking to Lake Mary
I am just going to start off by saying that an adventure is not an adventure until plans change. We did “technically” go backpacking to Lake Mary, but we also went night hiking back. But first, let me explain… Brighton and I don’t have much experience with backpacking. We’ve been on lots of day hikes […]

Fall is in the Air!
Good Afternoon! So it is officially September (where did the time go this year?!), and the first signs of fall are in the air. When living in Florida, fall for me was just a sign of not ungodly hot weather and maybe some fall festivals in the area. Living in Utah, autumn brings mixed feelings […]

Lake Blanche [Hike]
Lake Blanche, we meet again. Finally! Let me provide a little backstory… Last summer, my first summer in Salt Lake City, I was still pretty new to the area and hiking (let’s be honest, Florida doesn’t have many hiking opportunities). I had heard the locals talk about this Lake Blanche hike as a favorite, and […]

Ice Castles in Midway, Utah
As part of my Utah winter experience, I went to visit the Ice Castles in Midway, UT. In a word: astounding. Entirely made out of ice and water, the structures were pretty large. They had various activities, mostly catering to families but still entertaining for adults. There was an ice maze, ice canyons, live Elsa and […]

Sundance 2014
While I am here in Salt Lake, I am lucky enough to be here during Sundance Film Festival. I am no movie buff in the slightest. I’m actually probably rather behind on mainstream movies, but I felt like I should try to take advantage of my opportunities while I am here! I decided I was […]

Snowboarding Lesson at Brighton Resort
“Are you a skier or a snowboarder?” That’s a pretty typical question for the winter sports group in Utah. My answer? Well, I’m neither… yet! As you readers might recall, I tried skiing with my company a couple weeks ago. After the rather traumatizing experience, I think I was hesitant to learn any new sports […]

Floridian, meet Snow
As I settle into my new home for the semester, I am exploring the Salt Lake and the new environment. I’ve never lived in a snowy climate, so many things are new to me. Katie and I walked to the park near my house and took in the sight of a winter wonderland. We saw […]
