It’s been a minute! But I’m back with my final update for my 101 in 1001 (Update #4). It’s hard to believe I started this back in January 2020, which feels like a lifetime ago. My life has completely changed since then and my priorities in life have completely shifted, but it’s fun to see what I have experienced in the 1001 days! Original Post Update #1: August 11, 2020 Update #2: November 15, 2020 Update #3: December 26, 2021 Personal 2. Run (or walk) a 5K (COMPLETE) Back in April 2022, Drew and I ran/walked our first 5K together! It was the green6.2 and 5K that was hosted by…

Our Dog-Friendly Getaway
I was seeing advertisements all over Instagram about these glamping vacation spots around the country called “Getaways”. When I learned that they were dog-friendly, I knew the three of us had to go for a socially distanced nature stay. After working from home for what feels like non-stop, I was looking for a socially distanced vacation where Drew and I could spend some quality time together and truly disconnect. The concept is simple: Local escapes to tiny cabins surrounded by nature to allow you to disconnect from technology and connect with loved ones. Here is how our dog-friendly Getaway went! Location The Getaways are meant to be a 1-hour-ish drive…

A Day in the Life: Quarantine Edition
Happy March 214th! It’s hard to keep track of the date or even day of the week these days. We’re entering month six of working from home (crazy!) and have no plans to return until 2021. While I feel very lucky working from home because I have the resources and space to do so comfortably, I miss having a proper schedule that includes leaving the house. I thought it would be fun to document a day in the life: quarantine edition! One day we will look back on this time as a distant memory, so I figured it would be nice to have a record of a “typical” day. This…

101 in 1001 Update #1
In January, I started a list of 101 things I wanted to do in 1001 days. Obviously 2020 has been a terrible year but it’s nice to reflect back on that list to see how much I have done in only 7 months. Personal 1. Read at least 10 books (Making progress – 4 out of 10) As I said in my post, I’m not a big reader. I am lucky to finish even one book in a year, at yet, the first place I want to go to relax in a bookstore. This year, I have tried to challenge myself to pick up a book instead of my phone.…

2019 in Review
To be quite honest, this year has been an emotional roller coaster. I have experienced the deepest sadness, but also felt joy in many ways. As I reflect on this past year, I want to remember these moments that have defined the person that I am. It’s important to not discount and embrace the painful moments because they shape who you are and help you grow. January I hosted my best friends bachelorette weekly in Austin! It was filled with lots of hot tub-ing, pole dancing classes and explicit souvenirs (because duh). I’ve been to five bachelorette parties, including my own, and they have all been in Austin – but…
