almost 23 years weekend getaway.
next month will mark 23 years of marriage for derek and me. it’s wild. since may is notoriously packed with mayhem, we celebrated a little bit early, escaping for a long weekend in abingdon, virginia, just outside of bristol. we have never really explored this area, so it was all new and exciting. our plan […]
i’m back, baby. (sort of).
upon returning from a semi successful camping and hiking trip to hanging rock that was cut short, i booked a campsite at stone mountain to try again, two weeks later. i snagged the very last campsite available and when i pulled up i immediately understood why. it was fully exposed, with no tree coverage or […]
the worst documentation of easter you’ve ever seen.
this year was different. for the past few years (and even dating back to some of the years before we went on the road), we have hosted easter, along with a pretty epic egg hunt. it’s obviously evolved over the last almost two decades. this year, the “kids” are 21, 19, 18, almost 16, and […]
marching along.
look at me. catching up this blog. again. always. eye roll at myself. here’s some stuff that happened in march. (it wasn’t super eventful). we kicked off the month with a championship game for hazel’s baskeball team. i think they went undefeated this season and they won in the finals in a very exciting game.

twin meet and greet.
my baby brother and his baby mama (wife), who already have two young boys, decided(?) to have a third kiddo. and, well, that ended up being a third and fourth kiddo. since i am no longer beholden to the chaos of nursing school, when spring break rolled around, we packed up the posse and headed […]

[…]
strumbellas, reprise.
our fam has been fans of the strumbellas since way back in the day when we lived on the road. last year, we had the opportunity to see them live in chapel hill and it was the most fun concert (show, if i’m being pretentious) that i’ve ever been to. so, when they announced their […]
long cold boring january.
i’ll warn you in advance. this might be the most boring month recap post of my 20+ years of blogging. for starters, like half of the month was snow days for the kids. some legit. some not. by the end of it, they were losing their minds a little. just before the new year, i […]
it is december.
december is always chock full of all of the things. hazel’s birthday. school mayhem. christmas festivities. actual christmas. and then just general life chaos. here’s some details of that last line item…. first of all. we are back in the full swing of hazel’s basketball career. she’s playing for the wccc league again. i’m not […]
