Losing Weight
I’ve had a few friends reach out lately asking if I’d lost weight so I figured I’d write a little about it. Sure, I’ve lost about 35 lbs this year, but I’ve also gained a noticeable (to me) amount of muscle. The next question is usually “How?”. Continue reading “Losing Weight”
Introducing Spice & Clove
Warning: You probably cannot handle this cuteness.
About 2 days after arriving back home after a long trip to Orlando for our company’s Grand Meeutp and a short trip to Dallas for the Taylor Swift Reputation tour (I had snake pit tickets), a request from Richmond Animal League went out for a foster home for 2 little kittens. I jumped at the opportunity since it’s been several weeks since Squash (my terminally ill foster kitten) passed away and it was time for some happiness regarding kittens again. I still greatly miss that sweet boy whose life was so tragically short, but in his memory I’ll continue to foster as I have. Continue reading “Introducing Spice & Clove”
Rest in Peace Squash
On August 20, 2018 I picked up my newest foster from Richmond Animal League, but this foster situation was a little different from all of my previous fosters over the years. His name was Squash and he was a 4-month-old kitten with FIP, which means his days were numbered. If you’re not familiar with FIP, check out this article(he had the wet form of FIP).

T’Challa – Foster Kitten
My foster kitten, T’Challa, was adopted this weekend from Richmond Animal League! Yes, he was named after Black Panther (I didn’t name him, kids in his first foster home did, but I do love the name). Continue reading “T’Challa – Foster Kitten”
Texas Beach
Don’t be alarmed, the water you see in the photo with the train tracks is not Texas Beach. This was just my favorite photo from the hike from the parking lot to the beach on the James River.
Playa del Carmen in May
Anthony and I have two set trips per year – once together for a week with the whole company, and once for a week with our own teammates. So I recently took a trip to Playa del Carmen in Mexico with 8 of my teammates! It was hot, humid, and the wifi was bad, but the weather was gorgeous and so was the city and all of the nature around it. Honestly this was one busy week so I’m not even sure how I remember what happened each day… Continue reading “Playa del Carmen in May”
Forrest – Rest In Peace
Forrest was a fancy rat that belonged to my sister, Loretta, and her boyfriend, Chris. They had Forrest for about 2 years, and recently he fell ill. Continue reading “Forrest – Rest In Peace”
Hildegard – Foster Cat
Hildegard is my second foster cat for the local animal shelter – Richmond Animal League. I’ve enjoyed fostering cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens since I was 16 years old – 12 years ago! Continue reading “Hildegard – Foster Cat”
River City Diner
Buffalo fries, hot and cheesy! I’m normally not much of a fry person, but these hit the spot. River City Diner is close to our house and one of our first favorites to discover once we moved to Richmond.
