Our Wedding (Part 2): The Party Of Our Lives!

parties / Leave a Comment

When I left off my post on part 1 of our wedding, Mike and I had just grabbed hands and danced down the aisle to Natalie Cole. We were married!! And now it was time to live happily ever after!! We were so excited to celebrate with an awesome wedding reception, after party, and post-wedding activities, and our reception was one giant swirl of food, music, dancing, and laughter. Here’s how it all unfolded after the ceremony… As soon as we exited the meadow where our ceremony was held, Mike and I headed up to the barn loft to sign […]

Our Wedding (Part 1): From Welcome Party to “I Do!”

parties / Leave a Comment

We just got home from our honeymoon, and it was absolutely incredible! We spent two weeks in Tanzania and hiked Mount Kilimanjaro; saw all kinds of amazing animals on safari in the Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti; and finally spent two days on the beach in Zanzibar. That last part felt like the quintessential honeymoon experience, and it was cool to see the Indian Ocean, but both of us were a little stir crazy for that part of the trip… so I think we planned it perfectly. After such a long time away from work, and especially after those final two

Finding My Stride in the Next Professional Chapter

career / 1 Comment

Back in July, I shared that I was saying goodbye to my job in consulting after fifteen years, and promised I’d come back to share what was next. Long-time readers know I’ve been blogging for several years before PwC, sharing my excitement at getting the job, and I hope I am still blogging for many more years to come! I try to toe a professional line and don’t talk much about work on this blog, but I would be remiss to not memorialize that those years shaped me in more ways than I can count. Not just through the projects

The Forgotten Valley Hike I’ll Never Forget

adventures / 4 Comments

It’s been just over a year since Mike proposed on my birthday, and I honestly still can’t believe we’re married now!! I genuinely didn’t think I’d ever meet my perfect match, and yet here I am with a guy whose Enneagram even mirrors mine – he’s a core 8 Challenger with a close secondary 3 Achiever, while I’m the reverse (core 3 with a close secondary 8). The ultimate power couple 😂! Single friends, take heart – you never know when the right person will come along. And for that matter, when the right person does come along – you

Ballgowns, Bandages, and a Birthday Sprain: My Running Reset

running / Leave a Comment

Still so much to catch up on, but I thought I’d start with something a little bit useful 🙂 First, an important bit of backstory. On my wedding morning, I had really wanted to do a long trail run, but Mike and friends told me not to risk falling. So I decided to stick to the gravel roads in my neighborhood and head up Warren Road, a steady hill that surprisingly has less vert than when I do loops around the more typical undulating terrain in my area. I think of it as a pretty easy route, at only three
