10+ YEARS


Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

Happy Birthday, Abbie!

It's Abbie's birthday week! It's hard to believe the child who was born a few months after I started this blog is now 24. 🥹

She's had a fun year. In February, she went on her "this is my last one" Hinge date. It happened to be Tyler's first, and they've been dating ever since. Tyler moved to Colorado from Florida because he wanted to ski more. Boy, did he meet the right girl for that! They looked great as Han Solo and Princess Leia this Halloween, with Gracie as their Ewok.

Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Ewok

Golden Sunset She still works at Spectrum and recently became an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. We love having her at home. We get to see her every day, and every so often we have a built-in pet sitter for the weekend. She's fun on vacations too, as you can see from our Danube cruise this summer.

Happy Birthday, Abbie! Ski season is almost here, and El Niño is hinting that it'll be a good one. We hope all your dreams (and powder days) come true this year. 💝
