Hey there…
Our little corner of the internet includes stories and adventures from our little life. We thought it would be a fun way to journal our time, write down our thoughts, be a little more intentional with our actions, and look back on our memories. We are a happy bunch and are happy you’re along for the ride.
Joe and I live in Seattle, WA with our lovely pet lab Harley who says hello woof! We are both full time corporate American workers but when we have time off we use that for travel and learning new things. As you will likely see the theme of our blog changes over time because it reflects our learning and interests as they shift. Hopefully you gather something from it!
Themes that won’t ever go away are health, happiness, and some good ice cream. Joe and I met and fell in love while being healthy and active, we have always had gym goals with weight lifting and being stronger/leaner. But along with that we’ve always had the need to eat well too and we like balancing macros for each of our meals. With this combination of food and fitness we’ve become the healthiest versions of ourselves and would love the opportunity to share that with everyone. This is the place we thought we’d do it.
Mental health and happiness have been an adventure for me, not one I’ve every really been able to finish (like a race) and say ‘I’ve been there done that, I got happiness in the bag’. No it’s constantly shifting and moving which is why I’d like to write out thoughts here and keep this space also like a journal. A place I can write my feelings out, my progress or my challenges, and always be real. I think the world needs a little more real.
Lastly, ice cream. My absolute love is ice cream. I know this contradicts with my love for the gym and health but I give myself cheat meals to eat what I want, ice cream is the go to. I frequently make my own ice cream and always try the ice cream whenever we travel. I like giving reference to the best ice cream parlors and the hidden gems of each city. You’ll see a lot of ice cream as we continue to see new places and as I continue to make more recipes!
We’re a pretty silly bunch, I hope that comes through as we write more about our time here on this earth and as we share a little more about our little life. Thank you for being here with us!
