After our astronaut adventure, we had some extra time to explore. And Rachel and I did not waste a minute of our time and jam-packed as much into our trip as we could. Life's too short to not do it all and see it all...know what I'm sayin? It all started with a sketchy Uber … Continue reading #22 Exploring Houston

#21 Becoming an Astronaut
Well, as close to one as I'll ever get... But a girl can dream right? I know. I know. My title should have been "best conference ever" or something like that. My adventure buddy (and fellow science nerd) Rachel and I had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2017 Space Exploration Educators Conference at NASA's … Continue reading #21 Becoming an Astronaut
#20 Basketball, Bad Driving and Bodies
Too many bodies. Okay let me back up... I had this grand plan of throwing myself a half birthday party for my 20th adventure. We were going to play bubble soccer and it was to be an epic good time. Unfortunately...the time was so late and too many people couldn't make it. So I postponed … Continue reading #20 Basketball, Bad Driving and Bodies
#19 Milk a Cow
Yep! For a person who lives in a rural town surrounded by dairy farms, you'd think this would have already been accomplished. But no. And if you know me at all then you know that farm and Angie don't belong in the same sentence. There are several reasons for this: 1. Animals kind of freak me out. … Continue reading #19 Milk a Cow
#18 Detox
Don't worry...not drugs or alcohol. Well, alcohol a little. Not that I had a problem, just... Nevermind. I'm detoxing all the crap out of my body. Literally. Let me warn you now...some of my revelations are related to poop. Sorry people. And I know that's probably TMI. But the way I look at it, I'm … Continue reading #18 Detox
#17 Snowshoeing
As a "blogger", I've "met" a lot of new people. Some local, one as far away as Scotland. It's been pretty rad. One of the bloggers that I follow is an outdoor champion. She hikes all the hikes in the PNW and I'm always so envious of her photos. You can check out all of her hiking … Continue reading #17 Snowshoeing
#16 Drunk Painting
Just kidding. We weren't drunk. I only had one glass of wine. That title was just better than "Paint and Pour" or "Canvas Painting". And who ever came up with the idea? Painting while enjoying adult beverages is kind of difficult. Not only is the paintbrush hard to hold steady the more alcohol one consumes, there … Continue reading #16 Drunk Painting
#15 Skiing With The Fam
Of course there's a story. And there are going to be more words than pictures. Not because I am wordy (which I am) but because it is really hard to take pictures with a slippery iPhone 7 while skiing. Plus I was a photo taking slacker. Anyway... This was not my first time skiing. My … Continue reading #15 Skiing With The Fam
#14 Spirit Week
Most of you know that I'm a teacher. Of the middle school variety. Those kids make my day every day...sometimes they make it chaotic and I want to rip my hair out (but I already don't have very much of that...so of course I leave it in my head), but mostly they make it why … Continue reading #14 Spirit Week
#13 Moms On Skates
Ok well, let me tell you we aren't just moms. We are also friends, wives, career women and sisters who think you are never too old to: a) try something new b) have fun c) be complete dorks We all met for dinner at Kyoto Japanese Steakhouse...it's a teppanyaki (whatever that means) type of restaurant. … Continue reading #13 Moms On Skates
