About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To follow the prime directive.....

ABOUT ME

My husband, Seth, & I are avid travelers! We love planning big trips & trying to do them frugally (travel hacking...). Spur of the moment trips are great, too! We love rock climbing, hiking, and tackling at least 1 fourteener per year. We go from dawn until late at night, whether it be for work or pleasure. We are always keeping busy. We bought a fixer-upper and so far everything is turning out great!
UPDATE 2018: Pursuing our new life in Sunny San Diego!

Meeting new people is always fun for us, especially learning about new cultures!

Food is a big priority! We love trying new & exotic things and when we travel, we refuse to eat "American" food (when abroad) or chains we have back home. Honestly we should both weigh 500 pounds for as much as we enjoy it, but I guess staying active has its perks ;)

PHILOSOPHY

We live our lives as Christians & do our best to serve God.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some pretty amazing things have been seen & done in my 33 years here on earth, but one that stands out (frankly because I am proud of myself for accomplishing it) is climbing to the TOP of Devil's Tower in WY in August 2011. Took 6 hours to make it, but soooo worth the suffering!

June of 2011 we flew to California and while there, saw nearly all of SoCal. The vast differences and sheer beauty of Joshua Tree NP, Death Valley NP, Yosemite NP & Sequoia NF were mind blowing. Camping in the middle of the Mojave desert with literally NO ONE around for hundreds of miles was a humbling and crazy bizarrely amazing feeling.

We now live in that bizarrely, amazing place!

Well that is waaaay more than one, and I could write more...
