If you follow my Instagram stories, you will know for a few weeks I was very candid about my online dating experiences before and after posting my Single and Ready to Mingle (from the comfort of my living room) blog post. I chose stories instead of blog/static posts so I could make sure none of the men featured … Continue reading Well, that didn’t last long.
Single and ready to mingle (from the safety of my living room)
So, it's now been 19 months since I separated from my ex-husband. It has taken me this long to finally be ready to start dating again… here we go. Since we separated, I've had one first date with a guy I met at a coffee shop. I bombed it. I'm thankful for the practice, but … Continue reading Single and ready to mingle (from the safety of my living room)
2019: Recovering from Whiplash
Friendly mental health awareness PSA: High functioning anxiety and depression can still look like this. So much can be hidden by a smile and bright colors. That isn't to say that I wasn't experiencing a lot of joy during this specific moment, but I'm coming out of a few very dark months. I feel compelled … Continue reading 2019: Recovering from Whiplash
The Journey of @Rock.Anne.Run
I'm extra. It's not a secret. When I do things, I really like to commit all out. It is both a strength and a weakness. When I made the decision to stop using my fit-stagram @Rock.Anne.Run I knew I didn't want to just "ghost." I wanted to celebrate the journey. I have more followers on … Continue reading The Journey of @Rock.Anne.Run
Walking through the giants of Mariposa Grove
I have never felt more like a fairy princess than I did during my visit to Mariposa Grove. Giant trees and tiny me. Talk about a cool first taste of Yosemite. Our guide doesn't typically start here when taking groups on the three day trip to Yosemite, because it added an hour of extra driving. … Continue reading Walking through the giants of Mariposa Grove
Getting to Yosemite
This post could be about a lot of things. I could go really deep and talk about how a city-lovin' girl who never showed any interest in camping ended up taking a three day camping trip to Yosemite. Instead though, I just kind of want to reflect on the hours after the decision had been … Continue reading Getting to Yosemite
Urban Hiking
Doesn't "urban hiking" sound way cooler than "walking?" I set out to just do an easy two miles down and back. My mission was to break in my new* hiking shoes, make sure my backpack didn't rub me in weird places requiring extra body glide next week, and practice with the GoPro I'm borrowing. Five … Continue reading Urban Hiking
Don’t worry, I tried the tie dye frapp so you don’t have to.
In hindsight, it has been well over a year, maybe longer than two years since I've had a frappuccino at Starbucks. I'm really not a huge fan of frozen drinks so I have never been a huge frapp drinker. Maybe this wasn't the best foodie adventure for me to take on. However, I do love … Continue reading Don’t worry, I tried the tie dye frapp so you don’t have to.
My Independence Day – Est 2018
Eventually this week will go back to being all things ‘Merica. At least this year and probably for the next few years today feels more like a celebration of my own independence. It’s been one year since I moved out of the house I shared with my husband. This first year has taught me a … Continue reading My Independence Day – Est 2018
Dinosaurs!!
I got really excited when I heard that Dinosaurs were coming to Town Center Virginia Beach! I put it on my calendar and was able to schedule a few meetings in the area so I would be able to check it out! From July 2-14 there are dinosaur displays all around the area and every … Continue reading Dinosaurs!!
