College took me to LaCrosse, WI which with its 100,000 area residents dwarfed anything I&#8217;d previously seen. My last major move came in 2005 when I loaded my worldly belongings into my Honda Accord and drove myself to Salt Lake City, Utah for what started as a 4-month internship and has turned into my new home.<\/p>\n<p>I met my husband Jason in Salt Lake City in 2005 and we were married in 2009. We share our home with three sons born in 2012, \u00a02014 and 2016, and 3 cats (one of whom is polydactyl, meaning has extra toes). We enjoy gardening and home improvement projects. In my spare time I like to work out and craft, and Jason is an avid hiker and caver.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting tidbits about me:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ve traveled through much of the US but have yet to leave the country<\/li>\n<li>I had quite a few odd jobs in my younger days\u00a0including feeding calves, picking strawberries, cleaning a hair salon, working in a factory that makes industrial truck seats, cleaning bar towels and floor mats, working in a restaurant, personal training, and working at a small-town athletic club<\/li>\n<li>I met my husband, mostly by chance, online<\/li>\n<li>I tell people ending up in Utah was a complete accident<\/li>\n<li>I played piano growing up, and can sing&#8230;thought I&#8217;m sadly out of practice at both<\/li>\n<li>I enjoy baking, crafting, house projects, and gardening<\/li>\n<li>My house is filled with plants; in the spring, I have the compulsion to dig in the dirt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This website started as a series of e-mails I sent home when I moved to Utah in 2005 as a way to keep in touch with family and friends. It expanded to a monthly newsletter when we got married and I joined in writing in my husband&#8217;s family blog (headed up monthly by his grandmother). It expanded yet again when I decided I wanted to share some of my arts and crafts projects with friends, and yet again when we began welcoming children into our family.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for stopping by and seeing what&#8217;s been going on &#8220;Around Here Lately&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>S.~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">I grew up on a family-run dairy farm in Wisconsin.
