13 years ago I said I do. 13 years ago I walked down the isle to my best friend. 13 years ago I promised my love and devotion to my prince charming. 13 years ago I devoted my life to another man in a way that I never thought was possible. 13 years ago I… Continue reading 13 years ago
Gentle Hands
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. -James 1:27 I remember, just like it was yesterday, the first time I walked out of the airport in Manila. It felt like what… Continue reading Gentle Hands
Live from the Great Food Truck Race
I just lived my dream. Well almost. Okay not really at all. But is was fun. A girl can dream right?

Luke-isms
Luker-san, giggle in the middle, monkey, LUKE ALAN. Luke is my middle child, and he suffers from every form of "middle child syndrome" that there is. I am often told by friends that he is their "spirit animal", the "funny one", the "daredevil". That's because for some reason Luke doesn't feel the need to follow… Continue reading Luke-isms
Red Rock
Las Vegas is known as "Sin City". People go to Vegas to escape their reality, to gamble, to drink, to dance, to watch amazing shows, to do things they've never done before, see things they thought were illegal, celebrate milestones, or to get married. In fact, I celebrated my 21st birthday in Las Vegas, but… Continue reading Red Rock

Do you ever just meet those people who change your entire perspective on life? Or that person that is the younger version of you. The "you" that you thought you were going to be, but life circumstances changed that? They just light a fire in you because you know you can do what you've always… Continue reading five minutes
