The solution? Turning to man's best friend

I know I’ve been talking a lot recently about how my life here in Denver is post-grad, so I’m just going to continue on that train. I’m still trying to make friends, in case anyone is curious. As time rolls on, I realize it’s not just me. I’ve been trying to keep in touch with those that I...

Finding new schedules for my life and work

How do you figure out life? Does anyone ever? Now that I’ve started working another job, I’m learning what my new schedule looks like. Nine to five during the week for the magazine, working on newspaper tasks on the weekends, and along with that, whatever events and activities I can...

I never used to think about my wedding...

I attended another wedding last weekend. I’m pretty sure it was only my second wedding of the year I’ve been present at, but they’ve both been for the same family. First Jack’s sister’s wedding in April and then now his brother's wedding this past weekend. This wedding was in Louisville,...

Career reflections and family veterans

As I sit in my fifth floor apartment watching the city traffic roll by, 860 miles from Waseca, I forget the extent to which my words reach. To those of you who send word through my parents or relatives, I see you! And thank you for all the kind words. It warms the cockles of my heart that...

Cozying up with fall and appreciating family

As the fall weather rolls in, it’s time to settle in and get nice and cozy. With each day, more leaves fall, Halloween grows closer, and I grow more frustrated with my dim selection of fall and winter sweaters. Not only that, but people start to gather with friends and family to enjoy the holiday...

Reaching adult accomplishments: a job

After months of trying, I’ve finally accomplished what every adult wishes to accomplish. I have gotten myself a job. Let me be frank, I did already have a job: taking each week’s news stories, photographs, and other items and using them to “lay out” the pages of this lovely paper. I’ve...

Experiencing an indoor gun range

Last weekend, I experienced another first. My first time at an indoor gun range. Jack’s dad was in town, had never been to one either, and expressed a curiosity to go. So we went. I’ve had my fair share of experience with guns, but mostly long guns. I shot my first deer with a...

Giving blood and meeting new people

I donated blood for the twelfth time on Friday. That puts me at about a gallon and a half of blood I’ve given that has been sent to hospitals. What’s cool is the American Red Cross lets me know exactly which hospital has received my blood and when. It’s nice to know I’m actually making a...

Going to the Big Apple and Bethlehem

My travel saga continues. Last weekend I had the fortunate opportunity to travel to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania with Jack in order to visit his dad and attend the Celtic Classic festival happening in the town. We flew in on Thursday evening, and since the festival didn’t start until Friday...

Favorite movies and rewatched shows

I recently rewatched one of my favorite movies. I had read the book for the first time just a while ago, but of course I had already watched the movie numerous times previously. It was the 2005 movie version of “Pride and Prejudice.” The book was published in 1813 and had a 1995...
