thursday things 07.13.17

My parents and sister came to Colorado to visit last weekend and it was an absolute blast! We filled up the weekend with a bunch of activities – went to dinner at Abejas (<–go eat here!!), drove on Trail Ridge Road, grilled, played 5 Crowns, and hosted brunch.

One of the highlights was seeing a moose on Trail Ridge Road on Saturday afternoon. Do you see that little brown speck in the picture above? That’s a moose! It was very exciting.

These things aren’t as exciting, but still pretty fun.

  • How to make a fruit crisp in 4 easy steps.
  • 8 ways to wear a fanny pack.
  • brandless.com sells healthy products for only $3!
  • A great article about badass women taking over the outdoors.
  • Weekend road trips for every state.

Have a great rest of your week!

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
