(21 of 30) slow coffee morning with my aunt and her dogs ❤️ drove to minneapolis and spent most of the day there. mall of america: totally overrated and a horrifying display of consumerism in this country. won’t be back. on a happier note, i did get to walk the grounds of the @minneapolissculpturegarden and hiked 6 miles around vermillion falls in the quaint town of hastings. night 21 of 30: in the truck, with my dog, in a parking lot near fergus falls, minnesota 🙃 |489 miles| . . #30days #minneapolis #wisconsin #minnesota #travel #adventure #explore #experience #sculpture #garden #mallofamerica #hike #waterfall #truck #gmc

(20 of 30) my father-in-law woke me up around 6:45am for a goodbye hug. i laid back down after he left, but ultimately chased him down to the garage for another one. i pushed back leaving this morning for as long as i could. one more cup of coffee. one more lap around the driveway with the dog. one more conversation. i ran back inside the house to hug my mother-in-law three times while trying to leave. once i did finally depart, i only made it a few miles down the road before realizing i left ralphie’s dog bowls behind, so i turned around for a fourth goodbye hug. ugh. i’m a loser. eventually, i made it to indianapolis for a coffee date with the amazing @olivia_robinett. took my time getting up to chicago where the pup and i had a lovely walk, took some pictures, and only committed a tiny illegal act 🙄. called it quits for the day near madison, wisconsin. night 20 of 30: soo thankful to be crashing with my aunt, who just happens to be the best hostess in the world ❤️ |387 miles| . . #30days #chicago #illinois #indiana #wisconsin #goodbye #home #travel #roadtrip #adventure #explore #experience #goldenretriever #dog

(19 of 30) my last full day in seymour until who knows when. today is also the last day i’ll get to enjoy my parents’ house before they sell it. i cried walking the property one last time. i cried soaking in the hot tub one last time. i cried walking to church one last time. i cried having dinner there one last time. ugh. this travel gig isn’t all smiles everyday y’all. emotions are stupid. do i still get to call seymour home if i don’t live there and technically my family doesn’t either? i guess I’ll find the answer to that next time I stroll through town. night 19 of 30: the last night in my bed on Lynn St ❤️😭 “it costs farewell tears for a welcome home parade” . . #30days #indiana #home #church #walk #house #street #canon #travel #adventure #explore #experience #sleepingatlast #lyrics

(18 of 30) i’ve said it a thousand times before, i’ll say it a thousand times again: i hit the jackpot with my in-laws. and actually, we’ve never really accepted the term ‘in-laws’; they are my parents, my people, i adore them. they’ve been hard at work for what seems like forever on this passion project of theirs, which is building a lake house for themselves to grow old in and for our family to gather in. i’ve loved watching them work on this together. It’s just adorable and heart warming and i love it, ok? i’m thankful to have gotten to help with a few minor design choices on the build. next time i’m back in the state, the lake house will be finished & they’ll be moved in! side story: i found ma’s wedding dress today while cleaning out the garage. moments later, pop found us playing dress up and decided he needed in on that action; hence, the matching yard work attire 😅 there’s just nothing quite like coming home ❤️ . . #30days #home #lakehouse #parents #family #inlaws #indiana #travel #adventure #explore #love #build

(17 of 30) listening is sometimes, maybe most of the time, more important than speaking in a conversation. people need to be heard, understood, affirmed. i had the opportunity to have coffee with someone i don’t know very well this morning. is there any other way to get to know someone than to ask questions and hear answers? this evening, i spent time with a family member who i’d lost touch with over the years. what better way to reestablish a relationship than conversation? it was a good day for talking, listening, and learning about others. oh, and i also spent waaay too much time in a new boutique i discovered this afternoon, but i didn’t have any life revelations in there 😏 night 17 of 30: cabin in the woods 🌲 . . #30days #talking #listening #learning #conversation #spring #visit #home #indiana #travel #adventure #experience #explore

(16 of 30) i believe it’s lovely to be able to realize how special a moment is when you’re still in the midst of experiencing it. i got to have lunch at a tea room & garden with my beautiful mamaw today, and i am aware and appreciative of how rare an opportunity it is to get to do that. we ate chicken salad & pasta salad, drank lemonade, split hummingbird cake, sniffed every flower we walked by, and enjoyed the uniqueness of each other’s company. it’s pretty intriguing to observe the grandparent where so many of my personality traits derive. thankful for another warm spring day well spent . . #30days #mamaw #garden #spring #tea #flowers #farm #adventure #travel #indiana #home #explore #experience #grandparents

(15 of 30) what a day full of sweet faces and lots of little hugs. my preschoolers and the kiddos at our church are what i miss most about living in seymour, no doubt. it fills my heart with pure joy to get to see all of them when i’m back in town. loved taking some precious boys out for froyo this afternoon, loved dancing around like a crazy during worship at kid’s church this evening. oh, and i’m happy that southern indiana finally got the memo that spring is the current season 🌿🌷🌼 . . #30days #indiana #church #home #preschool #ministry #travel #adventure #explore #experience #love #spring #flowers #seasons

(14 of 30) this girl right heeeeeere, she’s been my very dearest friend since we were nine years old. i’m soooo happy that we got to spend an entire day together before i head off for alaska. we drank coffee, ate mexican food, watched a documentary on walruses and a study on serial killers, oh, and we fiiiinally got the matching tattoos we’ve been talking about getting for five years! no one gets me like she does 👭 night 14 of 30: in the lovely home of @olivia_robinett & @jonmitchell329 along with their guinea pigs and cat 🐷🐱

(13 of 30) the family home...a home i was so sure we’d buy from ethan’s parents one day. i’m thankful i’m here this week to help prepare this beautiful place to be sold soon, but it’s going to be rough saying goodbye to the location where so many of my memories happened. in other news, i got to spend some time this afternoon with my baby niece ❤️ . . #30days #travel #home #indiana #house #adventure #explore #experience #niece #baby #monday #latergram
