In 2015, my family and I (sans Andy...no ring = no invite 😂😂) spent almost two weeks in Honolulu visiting Luke and Leslie. It was a total blast (minus the sleeping on a pull-out couch for two weeks...after some point you really do miss an actual bed) and we did a ton of stuff. Actually, …

I love cats. Not just your normal love, but the all-in, unconditional, borderline obsessive kind of love. I just can't help it. Cats are perfect in my eyes. They are cuddly without being too large. They are independent - I don't need to clean them, take them on walks or worry about leaving them alone …

There was a good year of my life that I seriously wondered where I went wrong. At the time, my brother was living in Hawaii, my sister was living in Puerto Rico and I was living five minutes away from my childhood home. How does that happen?!? It's like they took a class called "how to live …

This weekend was a big deal for me. Yes, I ran a half marathon in another state. Yes, I successfully finished the race without actually dying (it was close...more to come on that). However, something even bigger happened. I officially became a common-law sister. (Cue the music, balloons, champagne and Oprah gifs) WOO-HOO!!!!!!! For those …

Do you know those people that find positivity in all aspects of life? No matter what happens to them they actively chose to take a positive perspective on events. The world could literally be following them around with a rain cloud and they’re like “well at least I am getting a shoulder workout from holding …

There are some people in this world that are always mature and stable. You know them – the calm, collected, rational type of people. I am not one of those people. At my best, I’m like 80% mature and 60% stable. I need you to understand this because I was not at the best when …

As a Vegas virgin, I never understood the “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” phrase. I mean, obviously I understood what it meant theoretically, but I didn’t understand why it was such a widespread phrase. Then I went to Vegas and now I totally get it. Vegas is this weird alternative universe where you don’t …

I feel kind of bad for Pennsylvania. We definitely did not give Pennsylvania the time it deserves. I mean, there has to be a ton of cool stuff in Pennsylvania, right? Hershey Park? Liberty Bell? Farms? Yeah, I don't know, clearly I'm drawing a blank. That being said, for all you Pennsylvanians out there, I …

When I decided to run my fourth half-marathon in Fort Lauderdale and knock Florida off my list, I was determined that I would actually train for this one. (Yes, I know...familiar story huh?). Except this time I felt pretty confident that things would be different. First, Andy refused to run with me. I think the …

Andy really did not want to run another half marathon with me. He was also pretty adamant about not running one during July. "Girl. Do you know how hot it is in the summer? Do you know what the average temperature is during July? Do you have any idea how crazy it sounds to run …
