The Traveling Kind

Well, hey party people! I was so worried about not sleeping that I couldn't sleep! So here we are! I decided to make 2:23am productive -- welcome my blog post about Phoenix (and the surrounding areas). Initially, I thought Phoenix would just be a dry, flat desert with the occasional tumbleweed, but I was  wrong! This city is beautiful with mountains in, and surrounding, the city. There are trees galore...not really grass...but tons of trees and cacti. Fun Fact: palm trees, which are all over Phoenix are not native to the area (makes sense when you think about it, they seem like they belong, ha!). They are seriously ev-ry-where-uh. There's art all over the place too! We've visited the Heard Museum which displays Native American art and we went to many galleries in Scottsdale. Most recently we visited the Art Museum at Arizona State and enjoyed a couple of exhibits of Mexican art. We've LOVED it here! We have 6 weeks left and intend to fill it with more art and advent...

Changes! I love changes! I love cutting my hair, moving somewhere new every 3 months (-ish), reorganizing, purging, trying new places to eat, and all that jazz. I just love it. This blog has had a few different looks over the past few years but now I feel like it's time for another revamp! You'll have noticed the name change. Ryan and I have talked about creating an Instagram account for a few months now and have finally made it happen! We wanted to get more involved in an RV community that we could "travel with" and I think we've found it online. We've already gotten tons of location ideas from them and are looking forward to all the new adventures! This blog will kind of be linked to the Instagram. You might see Ryan on here from time to time - that's the only real change to any of the posts. Ha. "The Traveling Kind" is a song by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell and it really resonated with us. I'm 99% sure Ryan cried the first time we...

We're four weeks into our second go-round in Nashville. Honestly, since you've heard from us last we've been recouping from our month in Texas/Italy (in monies in the bank and hours in the sleep). So we've been laying low for a bitty bit. Luckily in Music City, there is a surplus of things to do regardless of budget. From honky tonkin' to hiking, we've been entertaining ourselves with live music, beautiful views of the city, and friends. On the work side of things I've been enjoying getting to know my day shift co-workers and the new feel of the unit. On the extracurricular side of things I've been enjoying finding new music and spending time with friends. More fun info - if you can handle it! I snagged my next assignment! (I shirt you not, autocorrect wanted me to edit to "asssignment") I swear my grammar isn't that bad. Ha! Shirt! Maybe it is! Ohhkay...in typical SWYNA fashion, here comes a photo dump and then info on our next assignme...

Holy hot dang! The last three weeks we have RV'd to Texas, spent a week with family and friends, flew to and spent a week in Italy (the country!), flew back, spent another week with friends and family, and now we're currently RVing back to Nashville so I can start back to work in TWO DAYS! I'm already putting it out there that I am not...NOT getting out of my pajamas tomorrow. This has been one of those breaks that was amazing and fun but extremely exhausting. We never slowed down. On the up side of things, I think I can say I've officially switched back to a normal day sleeping pattern! Woowoo! It feels amazing! Lalalalalallaalalalalalala!! We have a brand spankin' new nephew! Easton! Our first morning in back in Texas One of my best friends got ENGAGED! Did some cleaning out of the boxes. Well. One box. Let's take a moment and appreciate the bedspread, visor, I ❤️Dylan t-shirt, and Garth Brooks poster. Oh, and mouthful of cake.  Okay! So...
