Arizona Day 1
Peter and I finally made it out to Arizona after saying for years that we would go. My friend, Kay, lived out there for school so we decided to road trip it out there to visit her, Red Rock State Park, and the Grand Canyon. We hit the road early Saturday morning and arrived in […]
Year of the Monkey
I’ve always been a huge fan of DIY. I used to spend hours on YouTube watching the old Threadbanger videos and admiring their ability to turn one thing into another. YouTube also taught me how to sew, how to knit, and how to crochet. If you’ve always wondered how to do something, I bet there’s […]
Our Shared Shelf – My Life on the Road
I’m a little disappointed to report that I couldn’t finish the January book from Our Shared Shelf. I’m sure it’s a fantastic book, filled with stories from Gloria Steinem’s life, but I just could not get into it. Other readers praised her and her book so much that I thought I would read it and […]

And the wall is (almost) complete! We’re leaving the gate and part of the fence untouched so we have space for construction in the near future. But we’re done!! ..for now. YAY!
#YIPPIEtheyreTHAIingtheknot!
We finally booked a venue! Almost a year after our engagement, Peter and I have finally put in a deposit and reserved a date. Everything since Peter started to plan the proposal has so beautifully fallen into place. I hate attributing it to “fate” but it really feels like things are happening for a reason […]
San Diego
For my Christmas present this year, Peter treated me out to a weekend in San Diego with trips to the San Diego Safari Park, the San Diego Zoo, and SeaWorld. Two years ago, I had wanted to take this trip and wanted to gift it to Peter as an anniversary present only to never actually […]
Building the Great Wall of Thai – Part 6
We’re still continuing to paint the fence panels and I feel like there are a million of them! But we just started planting in some of the planter boxes in anticipation of the rain that’s coming in the next few weeks. We’re filling the tall planter boxes with succulents and mulch. The shorter boxes will […]
Carnival Cruise Day 5
On the last morning of our trip, we woke up early to have breakfast and watch the sun rise. We had already arrived and docked in Long Beach but it was still a little too early for breakfast so Peter and I hung out outside on the deck. The sky was still dark and the […]
Carnival Cruise Day 4
Day 4 of our Carnival cruise was a day out at sea. It was supposed to be a day of relaxing in the sun but, with so many different activities and shows planned, we were running back and forth across the ship trying to get in as much as possible. After dinner, we spent the […]
