Road Trippin

999 miles and about 7 cups of coffee later I have arrived in the mile high city. My little Honda was packed literally to the brim (shoes in the glove box, hangers tucked between the seat cushions, etc.) Theres something a bit daunting about having all of your worldly possessions together in one vehicle. 

Along the way I stayed with my dear (and recently married!) friend Elise who now resides in Columbia, Missouri. There I got to know the amazing members of her dance company over a few Oatmeal Stouts at the Flat Branch Pub and Brewing Company. 

The Amazing Dancers of the Missouri Contempory Ballet. Elise is in blue. 

The following day I ventured on to Olathe, Kansas where my friend Jake now lives and works at Garmen. When figuring out our dinner plans for the night, I asked him to bring me somewhere unique to the area, and this is where we ended up:

A BBQ joint thats 80% gas station; better known as Oklahoma Joes. And yes I may have eaten more here than Jake and his two friends combined... The remaining 9 hours of my trip were spent listening to Stieg Larsson books on tape in an attempt to stay focused, doing yoga at various rest stops and grabbing a cup of jo whenever the mood struck.

I've finally arrived in Denver and am excited for whats to come!

Lovely to meet you

I'm quite new to the blogosphere, but after being inspired by so many of the creative and beautiful women (see blog love) out there I thought why not start my own lifestyle/travel/fashion blog? I have things to say after all! So this little blog came about as a means to document my wanderings and all the little things that inspire me on a daily basis.

My life currently has a superb cast of characters, but I have yet to figure out the plot. I'm planning on putting 4 states between myself and all of my loved ones when I make the move from West Michigan to Denver to live near my best friend Carrie. I think a little change will do me good :)
