During the Holidays
There is nothing better during the holidays than seeing family! As it is always a joy throughout the year, around the holidays it is extra special. It is the time of year that you realize just how important and wonderful family is in your life. As the holidays rolled in for Brent and I, we were…

Our first snowshoe outing of the season…
As Brent wrote earlier in his blog post about History Rock, we were able to enjoy our first outing of the season with our snowshoes. The snow has been fairly light around here for this winter season. A great thing when it comes to my running, but not so good for the snow activities that we would…

Up to History Rock
Jess and I had the opportunity to go up to History Rock, which is located in the Hyalite canyon, just south of Bozeman. We have been looking forward to utilize our snow shoes and we were hoping that the snow levels were good in the canyon. Hyalite canyon, and reservoir, provides the residents of the…

Popovers
What to make for dinner? What to make for dinner? This question is always lingering around in my head before I head home from work. Do I want to take the time to make something, or just throw something together really quick? As I sat at my desk, pondering what to make, I thought about…

Making People Fat for the Holidays
Over the past several years, my mom, sister and I have gotten together to make Christmas cookies. It has been a blast. Usually, we just make my grandma’s awesome White Cookies and then maybe one or two other cookies that we are familiar with making. Last year, we spent hours decorating the white cookies with…

Year in Review – 2011
To give you a standard greeting, at least as Christmas letters are concerned, this year has been a big one! We’ve traveled, trained and transitioned our lives, being blessed along the way to be able to lead the lives that we do. Our year started off with me looking for a job, as I finally…

An Indoor Winter Wonderland
Over the last couple weeks, my friend and I had the opportunity to plan our work Christmas party. Our owners decided to hold it in our new greenhouse located at the store I work at. In the past years, we have had the party in our downstairs conference room. Though it is a decent size,…

Nike+ Women’s Half Marathon
(Photo taken from the N+ WHM registration page) A while back, I “liked” the Nike Women’s Marathon facebook page to find out information on my sister-in-law while she was running the marathon. I am so glad that I did because I found out about this awesome event. Nike is putting on a Nike+ Women’s Half…

Broccoli Cheddar Soup
A soup I have been wanting to make for a while! Now I have finally done it and it turned out great. I am excited to attempt to make it my own version. There are some ideas I have to make it better. For a first try though… It was mighty tasty. Then a side…

Heat is Neat!
A couple weeks ago, Jess and I awoke to some pretty cold temperatures in our home, somewhere in the range of the mid 50’s. We proceeded to turn up our heat, which didn’t really respond. So we brought in some extra heaters that I was using while working in the garage and plugged them in.…

Christmas Tree Hunting
Along with the annual Bozeman Christmas Stroll, another tradition that Jess and I have been faithful to is the procuring of our seasonal, indoor evergreen. We have decided that whenever possible, it is best to go to the natural habitat of such a specimen to ensure the full authenticity of the act. As we have…

Not too sure how I feel about this…
On Saturday, I convinced Brent to run part of my planned twelve mile run. I figured I could come up with a nice six mile loop that would bring us back by the house. Brent was unsure if he could really run any more than this. In the last month, he has only been running…
