About a week ago, Rick & Michelle (Aaron’s parents) bought a camper. Even though Alabama is crazy hot right now, we wanted to take advantage of the time Aaron has off work (due to his Covid recovery). Schedules worked out with Rick & Michelle so we packed up and left for a two day camping […]

5-year anniversary living in Alabama || our move down here in 2015
Today is our 5-year anniversary of living in Alabama. Our last 5 years in Alabama have been nothing short of crazy, emotional, fun, incredible and life-changing. When I realized it would be 5 years, I thought it would be fun to go down memory lane and share the photos we took from our drive down […]
a virtual tour of seattle, wa
I’ve heard a lot about the various virtual tours popping up all over the internet. So for fun I thought I’d put together a tour of my home city. Disclaimer: none of these photos are mine. I give all the credit to Pinterest. First, we need to board the airplane. It’s a cross-country trip so […]
our trip to texas
When we received the invitation to Aaron’s childhood best friend’s wedding in Texas, we were not 100% sure we would be able to make it. But thankfully all the right things came together and we loaded up our family for a 15+ hour (longer with stops) drive to Edinburg, Texas. We left Wednesday (8.21.19) night […]
our 5-year-anniversary trip to oahu, hawaii
Before I share all our pictures, stories and links to the best places to eat on the island, I want to provide some backstory of how this trip even happened. Apparently, Aaron has been planning this trip for a couple of years. He knew that swimming with turtles has been on my bucket list since […]

Saturday (5.18.19) was consumed with my grandpa’s memorial service and getting to bed at a reasonable hour in hopes that our […]

grandpa’s memorial + burial services
At the beginning of 2019, Aaron and I sat down and talked about trips we wanted to take. Although we have visited our home state once a year since we moved, Seattle was not on our list to visit this year. But after hearing my grandfather (who I was extremely close with) had passed away, […]
1 in Texas, 1 with us
If you follow me on Instagram (which if you don’t, you totally should 😉 – shameless plug :P) then you know that Rick & Michelle (my in-laws) took Rylie with them to Texas for Aaron’s cousin’s wedding. We wanted to attend ourselves but we couldn’t make it work so when Rick & Michelle asked if […]
seattle trip 2018 overview
From the moment we got off the plane, we were going places and seeing people. In addition to seeing our precious friends and celebrating Dan’s accomplishment, we got to enjoy a little bit of down time. We even got to see my mom’s family and meet my cousin’s son. In the midst of the whirlwind, […]
flying with two under two
Flying from Birmingham to Seattle is a long flight with a mandatory layover, so it’s definitely not a hop and a skip away – it’s a jump. A really long jump. And when you are trying to contain your extremely active toddler and easily flustered 4 month old baby, every minute feels like an hour. […]
