Last weekend, Shari and I went down to my parents' house to hang out and celebrate all the birthdays in June: my dad, Kevin, AND Ollie. Plus, it was Father's Day weekend. This was the first time Shari had spent extensive time with my family and she did great! My family and I can be…

6-13-21 Mountains, pool, friends, movie
Summer is in full swing here in Colorado. The gloomy days have finally passed, I think, which makes me feel both happy and sad. Happy because it means more sun and heat and those lovely puffy white clouds I adore. But also sad because it means hot nights and the apartment's AC is old and…
5-10-21 Mother’s Day Weekend
I drove down to spend time with my family this weekend. I went down Saturday morning so Elisabeth wouldn't have to watch Pippin and to try to avoid traffic. I caught up with my parents for a couple of hours before Kaitlin brought over Emily and Ollie. We played for a bit where Emily gave…
4-4-21 Happy Easter
I spent the weekend at my family's again because life is short and vaccines are here. Plus, it was Easter and I remember feeling so sad that I couldn't be with my family last Easter. Not this year! We made breakfast burritos for breakfast on Saturday and then Kaitlin and the family came over and…
3-21-21 Family Time!!
I saw my family! Friday after work I drove down to Colorado Springs to finally, FINALLY visit my family. I made the decision that my mental health was more important than getting or giving covid. Plus, my parents have both received the first vaccine shot (I saw my dad's vaccine card, it's so awesome) so…
1-2-21 Ah, new year!
Welp, 2020 has come and gone. I'm okay with that, in fact I might be happy. And while I know that changing the year doesn't really change anything, I can still hope that this year will bring me the covid vaccine and the chance to visit my friends in Oregon and Washington. I don't quite…
12-23-20 My Weekend
This past weekend I went to Shari's parents' house with her to bake cookies. They have a yearly tradition of baking a gigantic amount of cookies that they then make into platters and give out to friends, family, and coworkers. When Shari told me that they make between 100 and 200 dozen cookies in a…
12-14-20 Christmas and Thanksgiving
What a weird but enjoyable weekend I had. Saturday morning, my mom called telling me she and my dad plan on driving to Texas this upcoming Friday to spend time with my grandma before she passes away. My grandma isn't doing well and my mom needs to be with her. So my parents wanted to…
12-8-20 Kora the cat and more festivities
I forgot to mention that I am babysitting Kora, my sister's cat, for the next month! Because my sister and her family are moving, they decided that it would be best to find a new home for Kora, as she has been stressed for quite a while in their home and she deserves a quieter,…

Wow, it's been a month since I wrote anything. I haven't been feeling it. I don't know why. Covid probably has a good deal to do with my lack of desire to write. Everything is shutting down again and even if it wasn't, we've had some really cold days that would have prevented me from…
