Who else LOVES Valentine’s Day!? I might be in the minority, but I love it. I love, love. And I have the best Valentine there is. Every year, Dan gets me flowers for Valentine’s Day, and he always writes me the sweetest little notes along with them. I’ve saved every single one of them and […]

If you’ve been paying attention to local news this week, it’ll seem like my parents are celebrities! I’ve seen their faces pop up on quite a few local news posts and it’s pretty cool. My mom was in the news because last week she was awarded as the South Dakota Family Doctor of the Year
Who else is TIRED of these constant sub-zero temps? I usually don’t mind the cold too much, but this is ridiculous! The air hurts my face when I’m outside and it nearly knocks the wind out of my lungs too. My poor dog is getting stir crazy from not being able to be outside as

This week was a bit of whirlwind. I spent most of it in Florida for work – it was busy, but it was also a nice change of scenery, and a lot warmer! I was sent to Orlando to represent NATE in a booth at the BICSI Winter 2026 Tradeshow, and I’ve known for a
Earlier this week, I was talking with a few of my coworkers and the subject of working out came up. One of them mentioned they couldn’t imagine working out with people – she wanted to be left alone! But it got me thinking about how much I’m the opposite: I LOVE having someone to share

Last weekend, Dan and I ventured to New York for a wedding. We were only there for two full days, so it was a quick trip. The wedding itself was on Friday, and I knew ahead of time we would likely have some time on Saturday to see a little bit of New York. Everyone
I took Thursday and Friday this week as PTO days since I still had some to use before the end of the year. It was my second long weekend in a row with Thanksgiving being last weekend and it has been really nice. Last week I was able to have four and a half days

This Thanksgiving looked a little different. Due to family illness, we didn’t actually get together for the day like we usually do. It was still nice to have some time off at home though. And Dan and I got to get out and do a little deer hunting. Opening weekend was a week ago and
