If anything, these blog posts can serve as an external memory of all the amazing experiences I've had over the past month. I read a quote quite a few weeks ago that explained, "We can either be living life or writing about it." So in an effort to live in the moment, rather than trying to … Continue reading Reflecting on September – 2018

Reflecting on August – 2018
When I moved to Colorado, no one told me I'd be moving to a town straight out of a Hallmark movie. As it turns out, Buena Vista continues to surprise me with its quirky traditions. Take for example Gold Rush Days, held in Buena Vista during the second weekend of August. What starts out as … Continue reading Reflecting on August – 2018
Reflecting on July – 2018
Honestly, I'm still not sure what the point of this blog is going to be quite yet. Travel posts? Simple general life updates? Photos of visits with friends? Surely there's enough room out there for a generically inspirational personal blog. July seemed to have flown by faster than all the other months in 2018. It's … Continue reading Reflecting on July – 2018

It just goes to show that the plans the Lord has for … Continue reading Reflecting on May – 2018

At the beginning of the month, my wonderful mom drove across … Continue reading Reflecting on April – 2018
Reflecting on March – 2018
March was fueled by a determination to get things done and countless cups of coffee. Between balancing ranch life, side jobs, personal projects, and visits with friends March passed even more quickly than I thought it could. As of the 28th, I moved into my new apartment on East Main Street in Buena Vista. It's … Continue reading Reflecting on March – 2018
