Aunu`u Get Into Your Sanctuary Day
Early August 2019 from a work event. Get Into Your Sanctuary Aunu`u Summer Fun Day. People and places.
We toured 7 wedding venues in Samoa. Which should I choose?!
Ooh, look at me blogging about wedding planning! I’m surprisingly really enjoying the process so far. But now to choose the venue!
Pre-sunset snorkel
Snaps that Ian and I took on our Olympus Tough-series waterproof camera. Snorkeling in the front yard with Yodi the pup, and faffing about.
We decided on a wedding destination!
We’ve decided: Samoa is close enough to American Samoa that it feels like home, yet feels like a getaway. And it’s still be a destination wedding.
How I lost my phone at Nu’uuli waterfall
I went to Nu’uuli waterfall over the weekend with some friends and brought Yodi along too. It was going to be great! Except it wasn’t.
Life Lately: Back from travels and trying to catch up
Recent life highlights: traveling to French Polynesia for fun, then on a research vessel around American Samoa for work. New camera and drone too!
Auckland Travel Journal
Three days of misadventures in Auckland with my photogenic fiance… Basically just a long layover until our next trip to Tahiti.
Dear Ocean (An Open Letter)
Happy World Oceans Day! Today I thought about how I could convey my feelings about the ocean, so I figured I’d write an open letter to the ocean.
The other side of the proposal
I asked my fiancé (ooh-lala!) to write up his side of the proposal story, and I’m sharing unedited photos and video clips from my iPhone camera roll.
Love it when my work days look like this
A couple weeks ago at Fagatele Bay, a new “Class III” scientific buoy was deployed – the highest level of coral reef monitoring in the southern hemisphere.
Waking up at Mt. Alava (ENGAGED!)
A little photo journal from the morning after we got engaged up at Mt. Alava, and a short snippet of our lovely night before.
You can see all the islands from up here!
Well not all of them, but we saw Upolu and Savaii, Ofu and Ta`u. This was our first day as an engaged couple, and it was off to an epic start.
WE’RE ENGAGED!! – The Proposal Story
It happened just as the sun was setting on Friday, May 24th… A day, I’ll never forget. The proposal story of how we got engaged.
Life Lately: Sunrise haze and updates
Woke up this morning to a pastel haze outside my kitchen window. Thought I’d share this view with you, along with some life lately updates.
Home, Outside
March has been beautiful month – watching the skies and feeling the cool breeze. Makes me want to just curl up in a hammock and read all day.
