It’s not a huge secret that I absolutely love living in Colorado during all times of the year. My summers are full of hiking trips and my winters are full of weekend skiing. I have to confess though, we are currently in the midst of one of my favorite times of year: the transition season. … Continue reading »

Way down South
Apparently I now spend all my free time in Colorado Springs. Okay, I’m being a little dramatic, but I stayed in Colorado Springs last weekend for the Garden of the Gods 10 Miler and I was in Colorado Springs again this past Friday. The scary thing is that I don’t hate Colorado Springs at all. In … Continue reading »
The best time of the year
It’s that wonderful time of year again – the beginning of summer BBQ season! I went for about six years between high school and college without living in an actual house. I ended that streak, thankfully, last November when I moved into a cute, little bungalow with my friend Gracie. Houses are awesome for many … Continue reading »
Tuesdays (and Wednesdays) with Gina
If we’re friends in real life, you probably are well aware of how hard I am to get a hold of during the week. I’m sorry! Twitter is seriously the best way to reach me. Anyway, this is one of the reasons why I am unavailable. Every Tuesday and Wednesday evening, I tutor English through … Continue reading »
I should stick to mountains
I don’t know why but I have been dying to go to Beta for the past two years. Beta is basically the quintessential night club in Denver. I mean apparently LeBron James was there a few weeks ago? You might be thinking to yourself right now that Beta doesn’t really seem like my kind of … Continue reading »
Evening bike ride + ice cream = perfection
Do you ever have those nights where you know you should exercise but the prospect of going for a run sounds like the least fun thing ever? That was my night on Tuesday. After getting home from a full day of work and evening ESL tutoring, I was exhausted. But I also knew that I … Continue reading »
Paula quiet time
My days off from work are when I actually live. And I try not to waste a single second. Although lately I’ve been trying really hard to relax a little more. My friend Cayce once told me that my weekly schedule stresses him out. Well, it stresses me out too. Ever since I decided to … Continue reading »
An open letter to Tim Tebow
Dear Tim, Can I call you Timmy? Timmy, I want to start out by saying that this isn’t an easy letter for me to write in the least. You’re a great guy. How could anyone not like you? You have done nothing but work hard, give back to the community and inspire Christians across the nation. Seriously, … Continue reading »
Jump jump!
I’ve skied, mountain biked, rock climbed, and rafted my way through Colorado. But there’s one extreme sport that until this weekend I had not conquered: trampoline jumping. Yes, that’s right, trampoline jumping is an extreme sport. Or at least that’s what the sign at Jump Street informed me. I knew there was a reason I … Continue reading »

Paula’s Top of the Town
Every year 5280, which is Denver’s magazine cleverly named after the elevation of the city (Coloradans may or may not be obsessed with altitude), names the Top of the Town in its July issue. I love reading through this issue and finding new places to explore and try, and I had been intending on releasing … Continue reading »
