I’ve had ideas rolling around in my brain for a while on subjects to write here – clearly I’m WAY behind.

So far, at newly turned 54 years old, I love my 50’s. Life is good (also a fun brand of clothing – lifeisgood.com). I have been blessed with an incredible and wonderful husband, amazing friends, a good job, my health and the ability to travel. I am beyond grateful.

Chris and I continue our travel adventures. Since we met last (and in no particular order), we’ve been to Cabo for a wedding, Belize, Spain, San Diego, Crystal River Fl, Panama City Fl (two different trips), South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe; and Las Vegas…a few times. I also did a couple solo trips, one to Phoenix for a long weekend and then helped a friend move across the country. ROAD TRIP! We did eight states in four days. That was a crazy marathon but good.

Ok speaking of marathons, the beginning of 2025 was wild. We did one half marathon, three 5k’s and two 10k’s in the first four months! We collectively decided we’re done with them. One set was in Tempe, one in Las Vegas and one in Madrid, Spain. I think we’re good – back to traveling just for fun!

Back to 2023 for brief moment. While all the above was good, 2023 certainly didn’t end on a good note. In September (1st & 3rd) we lost my aunts mom, then two days later, my dad died very unexpectedly. Took me a good while to process that one.

2024 also didn’t end on a good note. We lost Chris’s mom two days before Christmas. The last three years we’ve lost our dog Indy, family and friends. Some expected, some not so much. I realize this is the time of life we are in right now but damn. This part sucks.

I think this is where I’ll leave this for now. Sorry to leave it on a less than happy note. But, I’ll be back. Soon. With better stories and updates. In the meantime, sending love and peace to you all in these crazy times.
