Mt. Evans, fall 2010
Well, hello. My name is Laura and I’ve been married to that ruggedly handsome man above for over five years.
Ryan and I moved from the suburbs of Chicago to Golden, Colorado in November 2009 to begin a whole new journey. And despite the fact we miss all our Midwesties, we have never felt better about this decision. Colorado has provided us with so many opportunities and adventures.
I began this blog as a way to stay connected with friends and family back in MI and IL, and to share stories about our CO adventures and new life in Golden. See? Title is witty, no?
In July 2010, we found out we were about to start another adventure – parenthood! Sonora Lily was born March 16, 2011 and we are loving the new addition like crazy. In August 2010, we moved to a neighboring town which ruined the double-entendre of my clever blog title, but didn’t change the fact our life is still “golden.”
So here I am, still sharing our stories and adventures…only now more mama-related.
Who am I exactly?
I am a new mom, a devoted and amazingly awesome wife (what? someone’s gotta say it), and a Christian with a heart for living a Christ-like life. I love massages and could demand them all day, every day (but I spare my husband and only ask when absolutely necessary). I almost always have cold hands. I don’t like rude people…unless they just have a dry sense of humor – then I love them with all my heart. I shudder at the thought of touching a wooden spoon. Spiders are always creepy, no matter what anyone says. I enjoy anyone who can make me laugh and who can throw sarcastic retorts back in my face effortlessly. I hate the word “munch.”I sometimes over-analyze and worry about silly things. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up but have future plans to be a teacher. I love trying new things. My favorite food group is candy.
These are a few of my favorite things:
My husband. My baby girl. Friends. Family. Our pets. Laughing hilariously. Traveling. Sarcasm. TV & movies. Eating.
And what do I do besides blogging?
I am a creative (graphic designer & photographer), entrepreneur (sgnfy.com), freelance travel writer (gocolorado.com), PR girl and former aftercare, substitute & enrichment teacher at a Montessori school in Golden. In March, I became a SAHM who works from home part-time. And I’ve already started to blog about poop.
Thanks for visiting my brain. My apologies in advance.
