I’m Engaged!!!

Can you believe it?! I’m still accidentally calling Jeff my boyfriend even as of today. And just last week I cried in our kitchen, just overwhelmed with gratitude for where I am in life. Me and Jeff have looked forward to this time for a while now and it feels like we’ve finally arrived. So I’m here reveling in post proposal bliss!

More Resolutions in 2023

It’s hard to believe I have written my resolutions on the blog every year. Five years of blogging under my belt and this blog is one of my favorites to write. Mainly because it’s the only one I can keep up with year after year! Click below to check out last year’s goals and what I did and did not accomplish.

2022: Another Year, Another Resolution (+1 year UPDATE)

Highlights of 2022 below:

  • Bucket list checks included Hawaii and Las Vegas! Both places far exceeded my expectations.
  • I completed a triathon! I never thought I would finish one again but here we are! I am still so proud. Recap here.
  • I became a certified group fitness instructor! Something that I have wanted to do for so long.
  • I found Jeff! From start to finish of the year, Jeff is in nearly every photo. 2022 will be special to me because it is the year we go to know each other. We met each others friends and families and shared many firsts. He even managed to make the icky parts of the year feel not so bad. It’s safe to say there will be more Jeff in 2023!

An Honest Prolon Review

First and foremost, this isn’t sponsored in any way. I’ve seen lots of people in my Instagram circle post wonderful things about Prolon so I thought Black Friday was a good time to finally buy and give it a try (hey, that rhymed!).

Me and my BFF were talking about Prolon a month or so ago and decided this would be something fun to do together. I know I know, our definitions of fun are all a little different. I’m a full grown adult and I don’t need to be supervised, but having someone to text and complain to is kind of nice.

My LASIK Eye Surgery Experience

Twenty years ago I started wearing glasses. I was a little girl and it makes me sad to say that I don’t have any memories without my “four eyes.” I’m thankful I was never teased, though I do have bad memory, so maybe I was made fun of? That was a long time ago though, but all that to say that the last few years with glasses have been the worst. So, I finally decided to do something about it!

The Dallas Restaurant Scene

Seven years in Dallas and I still struggle thinking about where to go for dinner most weekends. The limitless options are both a gal’s best friend and enemy! I’ve rounded up a few of my frequented dinner and cocktail establishments in alphabetical order. Continue reading to see what made my list.

How the Pandemic Changed My Work Life

This post has been highly requested for quite some time and it’s finally here! I wrote it, took a break, came back to it, didn’t like it, deleted, and re-wrote it again. Here goes:

For those that don’t know, I’m a Speech-Language therapist in a skilled nursing facility – a nursing home, if you will. I was brought onto the team at my current facility March 17th, 2020 just as the US was catching wind of the pandemic and shutting everything down. I never had the chance to experience normalcy in my facility, but I’ll do my best to describe what it used to be like at the others I’ve worked at.
