A good day...




This weekend my family went to our cabin up in Lakeside, AZ. We love it up there and there's nothing like escaping to the woods. When we go up there, we usually get to go over to my Grandma and Grandpa Huish's to visit them in Snowflake. They have the most beautiful home and it felt so good to be sitting on the front porch with our cousins, with the breeze blowing on a Sunday afternoon, and just talking about everything. I loved watching the kids get pulled around in the wagon and eating homeade ice cream. It was just one of those days that help me remember that life is to be enjoyed and not just endured. To me, it's the simple pleasures like these that are the key ingredient to a happy and full life.





This tire swing is one of my favorite memories. When I was little, I loved to swing and so my mom got this made for me and we took it up to my grandparents house in Colorado. I used to swing in it for hours and fall asleep curled up in it with a blanket. To this day I still love to swing in it and it makes me so happy to see Jack and Gracie enjoying it as much as I did and still do.

The Latest...

Recently, I packed up my Western self and moved out East to a little place called Virginia. My parents relocated out here about 2 years ago, so it was time I check out VA for myself. It is in the DC metro area, so we spend lots of fun time in the city or in the country. I am still working as a pediatric nurse and looking to maybe move towards the non-profit or political side of health care. I gained a new family member in the form of a Chinese exchange student named Donna, and I love being with my parents again. Life is good.
