It was so wonderful to have my friends Lindsey and Dan come for a visit last weekend with their sweet baby Adeline and their dog Nya. Lindsey and I have known each other since middle school, but have become much closer over the years, especially since she lives in Charlotte, NC and it’s not far for visits a few times a year.

The bf and I recently returned from a trip to Denver to visit one of his oldest and closest friends. I’d been to Denver as a little kid, so I was excited to be going somewhere “new” and to see and experience a different city. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out West, and I looked forward to nice weather, scenic views, and the vibrant, free-spirited culture I’d heard so much about.

I had a great time, and wanted to share some of the highlights from this whirlwind trip: Continue reading →
