We’re shipping up to Boston

Hello New England! Admittedly, it’s been a minute since I posted on the blog. As a life update, Evan, the pups, and I, recently moved out to the Boston area in Massachusetts, and I started a new role as a Case Manager at Boston College! Thus far, I am enjoying and feeling seen in my new role, and I like that it combines aspects of my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology, as well as higher education/student services work in Academic Advising.I received my job offer in March/April 2025, flew ou[...]

ciao Europa! This is what honeymoon dreams are made of (part two)

Ciao ~ welcome back to part due of my honeymoon blog! This week, I am going to cover the later half of our trip spent in Italia. In the famous words of Lizzie McGuire, “this is what dreams are made of.”  Lake Como, Italy Day One: Lake Como was our first stop on our Italian leg of our honeymoon. We took a bus from Strasbourg to Como, which took longer than expected due to our bus running an hour behind. Once we arrived in Como, we took a ferry to Lenno, where we checked into ou[...]

Bonjour Europa! This is what honeymoon Dreams are made of (Part One)

Most of my European dreams and inspirations, as I’m sure is the case for others as well, derives from famous movies and tv series like The Lizzy McGuire Movie, Luca, Beauty and the Beast, Star Wars, James Bond, Emily in Paris, etc. Thus, we saw it fitting to visit various parts of Europe, for our once in a lifetime (always the goal) honeymoon! We took the untraditional route and decided to plan our honeymoon roughly 6-7 months out from our wedding. While there are pros and cons to waiting som[...]

MORE BOUQUETS and cowboy boots, please

Last week I flew out to see one of my best girlfriends, Andee, who currently resides in Birmingham, Alabama. Andee moved to Birmingham from San Francisco roughly three years ago, since she was presented with an amazing work opportunity at Food & Wine (which I got to tour during my stay). Shortly after her move, she met her future husband and they bought a house together, which meant I was due for a visit! During my visit to Birmingham, I received the full tour of their new home. The pair al[...]

2024 Vision board: What’s in and out

With 2024 in full-swing, I can’t help but look back at 2023 with gratitude and appreciation, with hopes 2024 will live up to expectations. Last year, Evan and I got married in our home town of South Lake Tahoe at Valhalla Tahoe. We missed a few friends, but were primarily surrounded by the ones who love and support us most. Now that 2024 is here, we are most looking forward to traveling to Europe for our honeymoon.  Travel[...]

Boogie with the browns: 10.13.23 Wedding Bells

October 13, 2023, Evan and I said “I do” beneath the Valhalla Tahoe pine trees. We were surrounded by our loved ones who traveled near and far for our big day. And so, this has become our favorite day to date!  In an effort to prepare for this monument day, we assembled a dream vendor team, and accounted for all the fine details. To initiate the planning process, I purchased the Green Wedding Sh[...]

Amanda’s last disco: A santa barbara BACHELORETTE

Roughly a month ago now, I traveled to Santa Barbara, CA for my Bachelorette party. After moving away from Santa Barbara a few years ago, it was really nice to return! The theme was Amanda’s Last Disco. Think 70s, retro, groovy, and disco vibes. We spent a total of three days by the beach, and stayed in the coziest mission-style Airbnb. Of course, a good amount of preparation went into planning my perfect Bachelorette party! I used an app called The BACH, which enabled me to use features lik[...]

You belong among the wyoming wildflowers🪻🌻

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDajpdl5ITU For the Fourth of July weekend, Evan and I took a trip from Salt Lake City to Jackson, Wyoming. The drive was relatively short, so we were able to condense our trip to accommodate both our work schedules and allotted time-off. We began our trip on Friday, June 30th, and made the four to five hour trek to Colter Bay Village, inside Grand Teton National Park. I surprised Evan for his birthday with cabin glamping!  Once we “set-up camp,” we wen[...]

2023 in full swing!

How is it that we are already towards the end of February and I am just now getting around to writing my New Years blog post? I guess it is safe to say that life has been busy, but in a good way. We adopted Alfie, our second Corgi in the New Year, and since Evan proposed to me last November, we have been busy planning our wedding, securing our wedding venue and various vendors, and readying our save the dates to be sent out to our guests. Good news is that we have a date set - Friday, October 1[...]

To my dear friend Maria, thank you for all the laughs, long chats, adventures, dancing, singing, wine tastings, and more. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful friend from your check-in texts to showing up for the big events. Who would have thought two gals from UCSB would meet in a learning abroad program half way around the world, and continue a friendship a decade later. From graduations, travels, engagements, bachelorettes, and weddings, we’ve been through so much. I’ll miss you always, and I’ll continue to reflect back on all the fond memories. Rest in heaven sweet friend 🤍🕊️
