Okay, obviously if you follow along even sort of, you know what our "life lately" looks like. We're traveling, in a different state every few days, and living on sandwiches and diet coke (maybe you didn't know that part, but it's true).
I'm in a wedding in a few weeks, so we'll be headed back east pretty soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share some photos and stories I haven't shared in my postcards. Less travel-related and more just us.

We found this goldfish pond in Ouray, CO -- a really cool place, that self-titles as the "Switzerland of America" and they're not wrong. Cool, no?
I asked Ryan to snap this picture and I think he rolled his eyes straight backwards to China. So cheesy, but who doesn't enjoy cheese?
Cool pull-off in the middle of friggin' nowhere. Seriously, you're cruising through endless desert - and it's like, 110º without exaggeration - and then there's these ruins of houses built into rocks.
First stop in California. Animal style, duh.
But for the more refined tastes, our pal Chris made a bangin' pasta sauce and brought it all the way from Chicago.
Still reading.
Pooch on his perch. We usually drive with the windows open up here, so this is where he lives.
Ryan pitches me on this great seafood place in a town that is equivalent to Lansing, except in Washington. If I didn't make myself clear - dirty. Whatever, I don't mind dirty in small increments, so I agree and we roll up to this abandoned masterpiece. The restaurant moved down the street, but had me fooled for a hot second. I was ready to hit up McDonalds instead for a minute there.
Duke received a magic paint book from his Grandma Deb and Aunt Carlee just before we left on our trip, and it's come in so clutch. A paintbrush and some water -- aka no actual paint - and he's busy all afternoon.

I hope you guys are having a great week!
