I am so excited to write this recap of my girl's trip to THE CITY OF SIN!!! I write it that way for ironic reasons, of course. I've got a lot of explaining to do with this one, and I am going to warn you right off the bat that this post will be a book—or it originally was going to be. Ha, I know, when aren't they, but I think I've been[...]
Something special that's been a constant for me since middle school is time spent with my family at hockey games in Wells Fargo Arena, watching the Iowa Wild and other AHL teams play. I've written about them several times on my blog, like here or here and even here, and I've yet to fulfill my goal of going to an NHL game, but I've alread[...]

As Calgary was our main destination on this trip, I was thrilled to finally start exploring all this big cit[...]
Seeing mountains for the first time is hard to take in at first. That’s what the next two days of our trip mainly consisted of, but we were also blessed to be staying at this nice hotel with an awesome rooftop hot tub. And, on these couple days, we ran into a couple problems along the way, but they got resolved thanks to God. This post[...]
