Hi I’m Ellie! Lover of quality time with the people I care about, soaking up the sun, being active (bonus if it’s IN the sun), local eateries + happy hours, and my husband, Sam. Exploring all that life has to offer is something I’ve grown to appreciate over the years.
- I was born and raised in Louisville, KY and even stayed in town for college at the University of Louisville. I met my husband while we were both in high school, and we got married the year after graduating college.
- Less than a month after our wedding, we made the move to Phoenix, AZ for Sam to attend Midwestern University’s College of Podiatric Medicine.
- During his 4th year of school, his rotations took us month-to-month living in new cities and checking out different Residency programs. Living in new cities for almost a year provided a lot of adventure, stress, excitement, and homesickness all at once! But it certainly gave me a great opportunity to blog about our favorite spots in each city.
- Sam landed his Residency back in our home town of Louisville, where we bought a house spent 3 years getting reacquainted with our city and exploring with a new lens. Louisville is a hidden gem for foodies and is constantly opening new restaurants!
- We decided to move back to Phoenix to get settled down and are back to constantly adding & checking off new hot spots on our list.
After all the craziness of the past several years, I’m trying to learn how to slow down, appreciate the steadiness of being settled, and enjoy all that the city of Phoenix has to offer. I hope you enjoy following along!
