• August 2026 Family Update

    For starters, Ted Lasso is BACK! Let all the fans rejoice. IYKYK. We took a little trip to Blue Ridge, GA with our couple besties to celebrate Jamie graduating from NP school. It was the CUTEST little town and we had a blast. The AirBnB was perfect for our crew, especially with the game room. Lots of ping pong was played and Gracie and I taught the fam how to play Mahjong. Then we celebrated with caviar because we fancy like that! We also did a waterfall hike and did some tubing down the river, which was so much fun!…

    Spring Break was SHORT. Skylar was trying to get as much flight time in as possible and she also signed up for a welding class so we only had a couple days. If we didn’t have time to travel out…

  • February 2026 Update

    February started off with a head cold that wouldn’t quit. I haven’t been sick with a cold in a long time but this one was rough and came complete with coughing fits out of nowhere. Ugh! We are all feeling…

  • January 2026 Update

    We rang in the new year with our game night crew, wearing pajamas, and eating grapes under the table. It was perfect! January is usually pretty boring but work is always a little chaotic at the start of the year.…

  • 2025 Year in Review

    I remember ringing in the New Year with the Sloans and doing the things I love on NYD. I remember how excited I was for 2025. This was the year. 2024 felt like a holding pattern but this year is…

    We made it back from Thanksgiving just in time to see frost flowers on December 1st. I absolutely love this phenomenon each year. I wasn’t quite sure where I would find them since I moved earlier this year but there…

    November was pretty fun! We kicked it off with Dia De Los Muertos and Skylar hosting a “Halloween” Party that weekend. She brought home some of her college friends and they were all lovely. I went to bed, but I…
