“If you stay through the weekend, we could all go canyoneering on Saturday.” Shannon coaxed as we were planning one of my many visits to her and Aaron’s house. To many outdoor enthusiasts this would be all the coaxing you would need. For me, it had me second guessing my trip. For those of you [...]

Yes, it’s true, I am no longer a young 20-something. But I kinda like being 30…at least so far it has treated me pretty darn good. I was lucky to turn thirty in Young with Ben’s parents. And on my birthday we had a group party for Judy (Ben’s mom), Victoria (a friend of Keith [...]

We made it back to Young just as Lily’s clutch was enjoying it’s final days on our trip. Ben noticed that it was going awhile back so he ordered the necessary parts to replace it. Once we made it back to his parents house the parts were ready and waiting for him to get down [...]

Ben went to the University of Arizona with Colin so when we made it to Tuscon we made sure to stop at their house for a weekend of fun. The first night we were there we had fun hanging out and eating some delicious barbecue. Also, thanks to Kai and Scarlet, we were caught up [...]

Lucky for us, a warm bed awaited us in Clarksville, Virginia at my Grandpa Smitty and Grandma Lynn’s! Ok… that’s not [...]

Staying with the Hardins was more than fun. With all the food, wine, campfires, video games, parades, adorable kiddos, helpful husband…it was hard not to have fun! Amy is one of my very good friends from college (you know, the kind of friend that knows all the “funny” stories about you…which she proved one night, [...]

While we were in Michigan, we stayed with my mom 25 of the 38 days that we were there. That is the longest I have stayed home since I moved to Arizona 7 years ago and being there for so long made leaving a lot harder than I expected. Normally when I come home I [...]

Everyone loves a VW Bus right? Throughout most of our trip we gotten tons of waves, thumbs up, honks, and peace signs every day. Strangers will come up to us to tell us random stories about how they lived in a VW Bus, or how they used to throw water balloons out of theirs in [...]
