Although I do fly when necessary, this is my preferred mode of transportation. I much prefer to take my home with me!
Consumed by Wanderlust
One of the stops on my only trip abroad. London
right before the 2012 Olympics. The opportunity to travel oversees thanks to being a Girl Scout leader. 🙂
I have always enjoyed traveling and have taken advantage of opportunities that came my way, but I have a long list of places I want to see and things I want to do. As I get older, I have realized that satisfying my wanderlust is a large part of my BEST LIFE.
Next week I will embark on a three week journey to mark various things off my bucket list. It will all start with attempting my first marathon, followed by a road trip to satisfy some of that wanderlust!
Past Adventures
Here are just a quick few images from some of my past adventures. I will share more about past trips in the coming months but for now I am getting ready for my next big adventure – Route 66 and the GRAND CANYON! That adventure begins in 7 days!!!!

When I left for this trip, I knew I was taking two half marathons, an RV, and a brand-new puppy on the road. What I didn’t know was how much this little adventure would teach me about slowing down and making room for the unexpected. Because the best trips aren’t always the ones where everything…
After everything that changed in 2020, I started 2021 focused on the things I could control. Taking care of myself.Creating routines that worked.Making my home and my RV feel more like mine.Enjoying the everyday moments along the way. Starting the Year with Intention I welcomed 2021 with a few quiet minutes outside just after midnight…
Between garden projects, fishing trips, weekends with friends, and even a girls’ weekend in Branson, there has been a lot happening. I have been spending more time at Chris’s place, learning my way around country life, but I am also still making room for the things I have always enjoyed — friends, bowling, traveling, and…
The tournament crew went home. We didn’t. My friend and I pointed the RV toward the coast, and just like that, the trip became something different. No bowling schedule. No games to plan around. No reason to be anywhere at a certain time. Just the road, a few ideas of places we wanted to see,…
After months of getting the RV ready — new curtains, a new converter, a living room that finally felt like mine — the countdown was over. It was time to go see what this little home on wheels could really do. My best friend and I left home on June 10th, heading west toward Reno…
Summer 2019 has been full. Not necessarily because of one huge milestone, but because of all the little moments that make up a life worth living. There have been races, bowling weekends, plays, time with friends, Royals games, and adventures with the people (and animals) who make my life better. Little did I know, but…
