Seeking out Adventure on Year Four

To celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary I wanted to do something special, something memorable. Cody and I sailed to St. John on our first wedding anniversary, cruised the fjords of Norway for our second, and dove with Manta Rays off of the Big Island in Hawaii to celebrate our third beautiful year of marriage.

An Escape to Thailand

Sawadee Ka (hello) friends! We returned from Thailand last weekend, however I'm still trying to get back into the groove of things--both at the office and at home. Our experiences in Thailand were unlike any other, and I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to explore such an interesting (and beautiful) place in the world. Thailand was full of striking contrasts: at… Continue reading An Escape to Thailand
