About a month ago, Trav and I decided to go camping. It was a spur of the moment thing, but we wanted to do something for our only free week of summer between school and summer responsibilities. Last year for summer vacation we were able to go to Europe (thanks to my graduation gift from…
second a day: May
During May, Travis decided he wanted to go out and destroy his phone in every way imaginable. I hope you sense sarcasm in that last sentence because he is one to take really good care of his stuff. Within a week’s time he managed to spill a glade scented plug in on it, destroy the…

Celebrating 40 years on Catalina: Video
To cap off “Catalina week” on my blog, I’m sharing the video I put together of the special weekend. The song, you are my sunshine, is my grandpa’s ring tone for when my grandma calls him. Not this exact version, but you get the point. Now that I look back, I should’ve saved this video…
Celebrating 40 years on Catalina: Invitations
For my grandparents wedding anniversary/vow renewal, I put these invitation suites together to go out to family and friends.

second a day: April
Truth: This month was a little rough when it came down to recording our days. We still got it in, but I think the newness is wearing off. Whats getting me through is seeing the entire month’s mash up when I put it all together. I love seeing these. I love seeing the videos Travis…

Sadly, we only got around to one adventure this month. If it had to be any where with anyone I’m so glad it was this one. We were in Catalina with family and had a morning off, so we gathered up the cousins and headed out to explore. If you didn’t already, you can read…
