Welcome to the new year, everyone! I recently returned from a visit to Texas where a bunch of us TCU folk got together to celebrate the New Year. Go Frogs. It was a blast! It's so awesome to see friends all in different walks of life and starting their lives. It was good to see family.... Continue Reading →

I've been a nurse for a year and 4 months and I realized that I haven't told enough stories from my experience so far. I mean, I have a story after every single day I work. I've been asked what some of my craziest stories are. Well, there are plenty. However, there are a few... Continue Reading →

Let's just talk about my trip up the Manitou Incline the other day. You know, I consider myself relatively athletic and able-bodied. On Friday, that all changed. My friend and I drove to Manitou, all excited about the incline. Yeah, it was my first time, despite living in Colorado for most of my life. Anyway,... Continue Reading →

Yesterday, I was walking to my mailbox from my apartment. I stopped on my way back because there were two cars stopped, side by side, on the road in front of my apartment building.
