The End
Coddiwomple. To travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination. A year ago today, Evan and I sat across from each other in a hotel room laughing and daydreaming about what this year might look like. We knew we wanted to practice service above self, we knew we wanted to volunteer and do good,…

It’s Corn! (an unhinged metaphor)
It’s our 2nd to last blog post (other pictures and things pending, keep an eye out)! October 20th marks one year since we started this blog and documenting the journey we’ve been on. It’s crazy to think about how much has happened and how much has changed. I am so ridiculously thankful for all the…

Running On Empty
To be honest, it’s been a rough week and I’m kinda running on an empty writing this. Things have been pretty crazy at work and, on occasion, its led me to questioning my role in the field I’m in. On top of the work adventures, our apartment is having infestation problems. We’ve had to spend…

Continuing to Gain Stability
There’s not much to talk about over the last few days. We’re still all settling in and getting to work and learning how to live together. There are a lot of dates impending for important events and it’s exciting even if it’s stressful. The main goings on are upcoming as I prepare to do a…

As of Monday, after a few unexpected shenanigans, we are officially moved into our new apartment! We are all still getting used to the space, especially since there won’t be furniture here until Saturday, but it’s been nice to get started at least and start figuring out our new normal. In the midst of all…

Unexpected But Amazing
At risk of sound sappy, yet again, so many of the best moments of this year have been the ones that are completely unplanned. This week, that looked like getting caught in a rainstorm with my family at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We’d been at my brother’s cross country meet all morning before heading over. Evan…

Ripples of Good Deeds
The last few days have been rough. In the midst of moving, I have had some of my most challenging days working in childcare. The adapting to management plus transitioning into a new site would be enough without parent confrontation, CPS calls, and surprisingly intense behavioral issues but here I am. Thankful for a mom…

Mixed Bag
Thursday was just another work day but Friday I was lucky enough to have a three day weekend. Evan was also off so we got to spend a day together. We used the free tickets provided to zoo employees to visit the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. We had a yummy picnic lunch and…

Settling Down and Moving In
Short update this week, big things happening but not a lot of them. The biggest thing to celebrate is that we signed a lease!! We will officially be moving into our new apartment with Kai on October 2nd and we are all very excited by the place we found. Beyond this, I ran my first…
