Today I am celebrating three years of being cancer free! I couldn’t be more grateful to be here, living this adventure we call life! I welcome all that life has given me because I have learned and grown from all of it. As you know getting diagnosed with cancer was one of the motivating factors […]

You know how sometimes people make the comment, “Google (or any tech/ AI entity) is always listening.” Well, we had our first experience where that was a positive thing. What happened was we booked a trip to Iguazu Falls before we left Argentina, from Asunción Paraguay, on April 11th and decided to spend two nights […]
What’s with the title you may ask? Adding “guay” to the end of words, especially in informal contexts, is a common and recognizable slang expression in Paraguay, meaning “cool” or “awesome.” The word “guay” itself is a Spanish borrowing from the Guaraní language, which is spoken by the indigenous people of Paraguay.

This is my love letter to Patagonia. We just spent a week in Argentinian Patagonia and all I can say is WOW! I was completely, and in the actual sense of the word literally, blown away! After visiting Perito Moreno Glacier on the 14th I posted this on my personal Instagram; “I know that this […]

It has been a busy couple weeks since I’ve written. On January 4th we moved out of our Air BnB in Santa Fe, after staying there one week, and into a hotel. It ended up being a blessing in disguise for several reasons; we didn’t have our host harassing us 75 times a day, we […]
After five and a half lovely weeks at home in the Midwest, seeing friends and celebrating the holidays with family, we made our way back to Santa Fe, New Mexico on December 28th. We came here for our first time almost a year ago, Jan 14th 2024, during our cross country road trip. We immediately […]

It was hard spending the holidays away from family so we decided that moving forward, whenever possible, we want to be intentional about being home. We returned to Minnesota on November 20th after a lovely week in the Azores and a few days visiting friends in […]
