I recently spent a long weekend in New York City visiting two of my very best friends. I've come up with this list from the help of my friend who lives there of fun things to do in NYC. Many of these things are cheap or even free. Fun Things to Do in NYC Take the Staten Island ferry (for free) to see a great view of the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge. Take a stroll through Central Park. You can rent a row boat there too. See a Broadway play -- if you get there early and wait in line, you can get rush tickets usually Continue Reading
Things to Do in Dallas Fort Worth
Have I mentioned this is my year of traveling? I hope I have lots of years of traveling, but this feels like my first big "let's see how many places I can go" year. I've been to South Carolina, Korea, Hawaii, Tennessee, and Florida so far this year. Plus, I've lived in Georgia and Indiana. I've drove through even more states! In fact, I've visited three new states I've never been to -- Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. I went through those states during my trip to Texas. It's kind of random how I ended up going to Texas, but I jumped on the chance to take a trip down there. We went to the Continue Reading

Free Apps for International Communication
One of my biggest concerns when Travis left for South Korea was figuring out how we would communicate with each other. He wouldn't be able to take his cell phone because of the international charges and fees he would have. He was able to put his cell phone on a military hold without any fees, and he bought a new phone in South Korea. Thankfully, we have found many ways to talk even on different sides of the world! For anyone else who is preparing for a move or long trip overseas, I wanted to share what we use to communicate, as well as other free apps for international Continue Reading
Christmas Decor and Cards
This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting my blog. The Christmas season is fully upon us! We have the house decorated, I've made Christmas cookies, and the Christmas cards are in the mail! Now, to just finish the Christmas shopping. This year we decorated our tree with even more ornaments than last year. Now, we have ornaments from our cruise, our Disney World vacation, our trip to Sea World, and the ones we got for Christmas last year. Our tree is looking a little more full, although we still used a few dollar store ornaments to finish it off. By next year, we probably Continue Reading
My First 5K: Color Run
I did it! I have been working and working to get myself where I could run three miles without stopping ... or dying. I finally ran three miles straight last month. It felt so good to make my goal! But I only had that goal in order to get to my real goal of being able to run a 5K (without any walking). On March 1, Travis and I were in Columbia, South Carolina, to do the Color Run. I really wanted my first 5K to be fun, and the Color Run looked so fun! We woke up really early because I thought we had to be there way earlier than we actually did. Oops! I couldn't sleep the night before anyway Continue Reading
