I’m Going to Embrace Every Palm Tree Life Plants in Front of Me.

I’m Going to Embrace Every Palm Tree Life Plants in Front of Me.

Just the other day, I was explaining to a friend how, in my life, more than 90% of things that have happened to me were completely unexpected. I’ve always been impulsive and free-spirited - that’s just the Sagittarius in me - but I’ve also been thrown some pretty insane curveballs that have resulted in one hell of a ride called my life.

"Adventure is Worthwhile in Itself"

Have you ever been to Fort Wayne, Indiana? I hadn’t until this past weekend. Ethan and I love to get out of the house and see as many places that surround us as we can. So Saturday we decided to head down to Fort Wayne and see what’s up.

My Favorite Thing to Do is Go Where I’ve Never Been and I'd Never Been to Dayton

My Favorite Thing to Do is Go Where I’ve Never Been and I'd Never Been to Dayton

Ethan and I rarely sit still - especially during the weekend. We both love adventure and now that he’s made it his mission to always keep me in fresh supply of things to blog about, we take a lot of weekend trips. This past weekend found us in Dayton, Ohio. A small city about four hours south of us in the state where my Momma grew up.

Seattle is So Much More Than Just Starbucks, But it's That, Too.

Seattle is So Much More Than Just Starbucks, But it's That, Too.

Seattle, Washington was never on my list of must-see cities. In fact, when given the opportunity to visit it a while back, my chief - and possibly only - concern was getting to visit the original Starbucks.

I traveled there on a school trip and stayed for only a few days, but despite my short visit, I really feel like I got a feel of the city. And what a city it is!

I Guess I’ll Have to Find a New City to Call America’s Armpit.

I Guess I’ll Have to Find a New City to Call America’s Armpit.

One Friday afternoon, Ethan said to me, “let’s go to Cleveland”. No offense to Clevelanders out there, but without hesitation, my exact response was, “ew, why?”

I’ve heard since I was a little girl from my Ohioan mom that Cleveland was “the armpit of America.” Those are not exactly words that would inspire anyone to want to visit. But, he insisted and being the travel-lover that I am, I wasn’t about to turn down an adventure - even a questionable one.

For Once, Having Skeletons Was a Good Thing

For Once, Having Skeletons Was a Good Thing

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. And the decorations are my absolute favorite part.

Date night a few weeks back brought Ethan and I to a small-town in Eastern Michigan which boasts a celebration of skeletons for the month of October, called The Skeletons Are Alive!

They Say That You Gotta Know Where You Came From to Know Where You're Going...

They Say That You Gotta Know Where You Came From to Know Where You're Going...

Some people seem to have their family histories all figured out. We all know those people, the ones who can trace their ancestry lines back to the Mayflower and beyond. They're all so full of pride for their family and possibly for their heritage. Unfortunately, coming from a small town in the Midwest - without any significant ethnic diversity or any obvious settlement pockets in the area - I have never had the privilege of knowing where I was from beyond my own address.
