England 2014

Day one in London started with a ride on the Chunnel. I was really hoping that it was a clear tunnel but it was jus dark. When we arrived, we ate some lunch before jumping on the underground. If you’re ever in London, find the nearest Pret A Manger and go crazy. It’s really good, […]

France 2014

On the sixth day of my Europe trip, I woke up in Paris. The night train was rough. There were six of us crammed into each cart and I’m fairly sure we didn’t have air-conditioning the first half of the ride. It was still fun though and I’m happy to have had the experience. We […]

Italy 2014

This is the first installment of three posts I will be making about my trip to Europe in the summer of 2014. I saw some amazing things and met some amazing people along the way. After spending 11 hours in airports and 12 hours in the sky, we had finally landed in Italy. By the way, airplane […]

Chihuly Glass

My favorite medium, after photography, is glass. My mom and I have a particular interest in the glass artist Dale Chihuly. We have seen his exhibits in St. Louis, Little Rock, Seattle, and Oklahoma City. After my post about Washington State I realized that I had to write a post just about his work because […]

Chicago 2013

This is going to be another fairly short post but it tells you a little more about me and it was a really fun weekend so, here goes. I love reading. Books are something that I cherish and I firmly believe that reading does nothing but benefit you. One of my favorite series is Divergent by […]

Washington State 2013

When I was in first grade my dad was deployed to Washington for exactly on year and four days. For my spring break that year, my mom and I went to visit him. We loved it so much that in 2013, we went back. On our first day we headed into the mountains. We had […]

Iowa and Illinois

This is going to be a fairly short post but it was a significant part of my life so I thought I’d go ahead and share it. Enjoy. When I was late in my middle school years my dad moved to Iowa for his job. He worked on Rock Island Arsenal which is a small […]

Bermuda and New York 2012

I felt that it was important to introduce the Williams to you in my last post before telling you about my vacation with them. So here goes. In 2012 I was watching the boys, Alec and Graham, for the summer. Instead of paying me to watch them, Jim and Kristi took me with them on their […]

The Williams

I’m not really even sure where to start. The Williams are a family that I consider to be my own. There’s Kristi, the animal rescuer. She is one of the most kind-hearted people I know. Jim, the top-notch cook. He grills pizza in the summer time and it has practically ruined me for all other […]

Washington D.C. 2012

If you haven’t figured it out by now, family is very important to me. In 2012 I found out that my uncle Doug, aunt Erin, and cousin Jameson were moving to Africa for two years. So, for spring break that year my parents and I went out to visit them where they had moved just […]
