This weekend in Colorado was a whirlwind! I landed around 10 a.m. on Friday and I left around Noon on Sunday. Talk about a quick, quick, quick trip! Even though my time in Colorado Springs & the Denver area was extremely short, it was also extremely sweet. Let’s dive in to this weekend’s highlights: Colorado … More Getaway Recap: 48-Hours in Colorado
A few weekends ago, I drove up north to Oklahoma. My gal pal Tinker and I, along with my sweet pup Jack in tow, went to Broken Bow, OK for a short and sweet getaway. And boy, was it short. We left early(ish) on Saturday morning, and came home Sunday mid-day. The weekend’s highlights included: … More Getaway Recap: Broken Bow
I escaped to Austin this weekend. It had been a good long bit since I left the 214 and I was practically itching to get out. I have dear loved ones, both friends and family, who live down there and I could not wait to see their faces! Here are this weekend’s highlights: Breakfast at Joe’s … More Getaway Recap: Austin
I went to Denver this weekend. It was a reunion with my long, lost Chinese sisters — gals who I was adopted with who were adopted by other families across the U.S. It was a whirlwind of a weekend — lots of hopping to and from places. At times it was exhausting, but all the … More Getaway Recap: Denver
This weekend was the best. Instead of the usual routine of sleeping in, climbing and vegetating on my couch, I spent Saturday through Monday in Portland, Oregon with Sweet Denise — aka my mom. It was so nice to get away from Dallas, the heat and some big-time stress at my job. It was so … More Getaway Recap: Portland + The Oregon Coast
I escaped the 214 this weekend. My sweet friends Rosie & Nate moved to Brooklyn — the Bushwick district, to be precise — at the start of the new year. It’s been months of I-miss-you-texts and Marco Polo’s (walkie talkie video messages) and the constant tagging in Facebook memes. Then finally, and I seriously mean, … More Getaway Recap: New York
Waco is a wonderland. That’s why my friends and I used to say, somewhat joking but also somewhat serious. When people learn I went to school in Waco, they often ask, “Hmm…how did you like Waco?” Honestly, at first, I hated it. I was a Dallas gal stuck in a less-than-thrilling town. But the more … More Getaway Recap: Waco In Five Hours
I went to D.C. It was a last-minute trip that I planned about two weeks in advance. My gal pal Emily planned to be in D.C. for work, and my lifelong friend Hannah lives in the area, too. This was my very first time to the city and I heard the greatest things, so I … More Getaway Recap: Washington D.C.
This weekend was a blast. At first, I was skeptical. I hadn’t been back to a Baylor homecoming or football game since I graduated (#WorstAlumnaEver). I wasn’t sure I would know anyone or be remembered or find friends. I was worried I would feel disconnected and isolated after all that’s happened post-grad. But my silly … More Getaway Recap: Baylor Homecoming
I recently traveled to Prague. Alone. Before going, I was scared. I pictured my life turning into a very real, very awful version of Taken. I hoped my dad would have a special set of skills to save me. But right before I left and on the bus ride from Munich, I began to feel … More The Benefits Of Solo Travel
