I can't wait to combine my editorial skills with my passion for the mountains! Thanks to everyone who's helped me get here.

Rest & Relaxation + Nature
I love it when people visit us in Laramie, Wyoming. I love to show them our little house (on the prairie? almost), our fun frontier town, the mountains that surround us, the stark and undeniable beauty of the West. Most of my family came to visit me this summer after a long roadtrip or flight/s. …
Banff National Park, Canada
We got to Banff by driving up the west side of Glacier National Park, through the Canadian border, and up through Kootenay National Park in Canada. The highway that runs through Banff National Park is called the Trans-Canada Highway, or AB-1 (the "AB" is short for Alberta, the province). We stopped for dinner at the Juniper …
California Trip, Part II: Big Sur, Yosemite, and Santa Barbara
This post is a continuation of my last post, California Trip, Part I: San Francisco, about Matt's and my trip to California a couple weeks ago. On Monday morning, we left San Francisco and drove down to Big Sur, of which I've seen beautiful pictures and heard wonderful things. I'd read (thank you, internet) that …

Utah: Land of Skiing, Land of Canyons, Land of People-Actually-Live-Here
I reckon it's about time to write a blog post that's not Christmas-related *sigh*. Things in Laramie, Wyoming have been pleasantly not-too-cold and not-too-windy, about which I could, admittedly, be happier. We always find reasons to complain, don't we? There may be no wind and it may be 30 degrees Fahrenheit, but it just so …

Mountain Vocabulary
Autumn this year is perfectly lovely in Wyoming. It's been in the high sixties and sunny almost every day these past few weeks. Last weekend Matt and I spent the night in Denver to see a concert, but primarily to buy ALL THE PUMPKIN SPICE THINGS at Trader Joe's. We left with pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin …
There Are Still Leaves!
Dear reader, I admit to taking a month-long hiatus from this blog, in case you hadn't noticed. So, Things That Have Happened: We've been in Wyoming for over a year now, which is hard to believe. (We've survived!!) My car was inoperable for over a month, Abe got diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Matt's back in school, I'm …
Fear of Discomfort, or Longs Peak
Earlier I was making a list in my journal of fears I hold: fear of failure (duh), fear of the appearance of failure, fear of discomfort. It might make some of you laugh, but I really do have a fear of discomfort despite my moving to Wyoming, by far the coldest and most rural place I've ever lived, and …
Summertime
I much prefer Laramie this time of year. All the flowers bloom at once as the season is so short; the zinnias I planted out front have been at it for almost a month. I can leave all the windows open at home, day and night. Train brakes and whistles, like a chorus of upset …
Wild, Wild Iris
The past couple of weekends I've spent trying to get back into climbing for the all-too-short summer season up in Wyoming. And by short, I mean it snowed on us the weekend before last, and I had to come down from a climb because my fingers were too numb. Aside from the snow and all …
