Badass of the day

Happy birthday to the greatest love of my life. You make every day an adventure. I love you so much!

This is the coolest thing ever

Reading and re-reading my favorite poems from high school and college makes me appreciate my liberal arts education, especially in this shit-show era of AI and fake truth.

The pup has the goofiest grin to share with anyone who needs it. Cheers for making it through half the week! I hope it has treated you well. 🥂😊🐾

The journey begins! Stopping in Salida for Sweetie’s before making our way to the Butte.

Torn* ACL. I can’t even spell. I swear to God I write for a living. Ha

If Lindsey Vonn can ski race with a tor ACL, I can send this email.

Editing another one of my husband’s ppt presentations about developing workforce housing in mountain towns, and it’s always astounding to me how much it costs average, working people to live in some of these places.

My first Oveja Negra! Can’t wait to use this on our bikepacking tour on the White Rim in May.

A great night out in Denver! Saw Mark Twain and ate steak at Buckhorn Exchange. So good!

Tips up!!!! ⛷️ www.denverpost.com/2026/01/28/m...

Proud to be an annual pass holder here! I love Monarch 🦋 No Name Basin here we come!!! 🎿

We made it to the airport. 😮‍💨

I do not want an “elevated glamping experience.” I want hot dogs that have accidentally been dropped in the dirt, coffee with grounds in it, and a makeshift pillow made from a stuff sack and my dirty clothes. Thank you.

Got super motivated today and refreshed/reorganized our camping gear. Summer, we are ready for ya!

Fastest half marathon ever! Super proud of my PR for the Denver Colfax Marathon over the weekend. 2:11:10

Getting ready to do a progression run with my niece — a superstar high school cross country runner. Pray for me 🤣

Last night’s debate didn’t change my mind about who I’m voting for — I’m obviously voting blue up and down the ticket. What it did do, oddly, is make me want to move to Minnesota. 🤣 💗

Got my bridal cardigan today! It’s all coming together and feeling very real! 🥰

Perfect Friday night: long run, dinner, Target, shower, movie.😚

Sweet baby girl 🥰

A little crazy that when you sell your house in CO, you can buy two really nice ones in Cincinnati…

🥰

Back to back rides this weekend for meeeeeee

Practicing for making our wedding flower arrangements 🌸

What many are speculating as the last 80-degree day in denver calls for one last nitro cold brew before the weather turns to garbage. Happy friday!!!

Today was the kind of day where I had to remind myself that the seemingly endless days of obsessing over my writing, and meticulously poring over budgets, means that (usually) someone down the line will hopefully benefit from that work.

Today was rough, but I’m excited to tap into the power of the group run. #GirlPower #TrailSisters

Penny loves you. 🩵

Somehow, within the next 10 weeks, I’ll complete a very challenging semester + final project for my last MPA cert. course, prep a huge grant proposal and unrelated report due in Q1, and deliver on a big personal project. Somehow. Without losing my mind. 🫣🫠

Preparing to leave that other app and start over here! Who should I follow?!
