For me, it’s impossible to believe that I’m living in Wichita after leaving my home of 30 years. It’s taken me awhile and maybe truly I haven’t felt it as much as I do now, but Wichita is home. It’s where I’m living and it’s where I’ll be working (2 years presently). It’s hard to […]
Palm & Peak Collab
Hello everyone, Remember how I told you that 2020 was going to be filled with amazing things on Always Aley? Well guess what, it’s starting out perfect. Yes with occasional panic attacks, but eh welcome to my life. I’m pretty excited to announce that I’m a brand ambassador for Palm and Peak, a shop that […]
Mayor luck
Happy Wednesday, it’s been a long week. Now that I’ve started my new job, time has been of the essence. I’m learning a lot about myself, but most of all, I’m learning a thing or two about patience. Today, I’m writing my last Europe post. Finally! It’s sad that this trip is finally coming to […]
El Bernabeu
From a young age, I became fascinated with futbol. It was my dream to play college ball, coach, and of course play witness to awesome games from time to time. Up to this point, my dreams in a sense had came true. While watching KC Sporting play at Children’s Mercy Park seemed like the highlight […]
Dancing Madrid
Puerta del Sol provided a lot of beautiful sights, from food, wine, and shopping. Micah and I enjoyed walking around gazing at the many shops, I even got to go into a local shop where I purchased this dress and hair pins. While we used this day to explore the very busy plaza, flamenco dancing […]
La Almudena
Good evening fine people. Just when I thought I had some consistency on Always Aley, life is here, looming. Well as many of you might know from my first newsletter, I’m no longer in Oklahoma, my new job takes me to Wichita and the excitement of seeing what the year will bring is truly something […]
Spanish Royal
Madrid’s beauty radiated during the sunset and it was even more magical with featuring sites like el Palacio Real. Our evening was spent walking the gardens of the Royal Palace, which I came to find out is the largest palace in Europe with more than 3,000 rooms. Yikes, talk about dreamy. Now while the palace […]
It might be Spain
I’m back to blogging this week and bringing you the last leg of my European trip. I’m ending this series with Spain, which sort of turned out to be my lucky charm. Turns out the Spanish are going to turn my life around and while I’m not going to give you all that many details, […]
Rome Goodbye
We said goodbye to Rome by walking around and seeing many different sights including the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. All of which we marveled and enjoyed gazing at. It was the perfect way to end our stay in Italy. Oh the Pantheon, the once Roman temple dedicated to all the gods […]
Historical Rome
Destination No. 3 took us to Rome, Italy. It was my favorite location, I still have dreams of wondering the Spanish Steps and eating ice cream around the Colosseum. The main reason why I loved Rome so much was because of the history the city radiates. It’s thought-provoking to imagine how the Romans, despite what […]
