For as long as we can remember, Connor and I have dreamt of one day building our dream home.

We had no idea when… Continue reading Our Daley Dream Home

After six years of schooling, attending two universities, completing seven grad school applications, earning a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, passing dozens of classes, completing… Continue reading Grad School: The Final Semester
I've been so lucky to have taken three trips since this summer, but between classes, home renovation projects, and my fall internship, time for blogging about these trips quickly got away from me.
