  • Giddy Up

    Giddy Up

    Thanks to family, we were giving all the things necessary for Elijah to be a cowboy. So of course, we chose this to be his costume this year. Free and adorable were a great reason. Elijah rocked his little cowboy outfit as he took a little ride on his horse before trick or treating. Grandpa…

  • Once a dream

    Once a dream

    Running down along the Riverfront Trail in The Dalles, Oregon, a distant dream came back to mind when I saw the National Geographic Ship Sea Bird at The Dalles Port. Ah, to be on board that ship and to have a photo published in the magazine. That was the dream. The dream started back in…

  • Run of Course…

    Run of Course…

    What to do to pass the time while Brent is at work? Why run of course! Now if you have ever been in the Columbia River Gorge and stopped in any town running along side the river, you will know how hilly they all are. Also, if you know the area of Bozeman that I…

  • Stepping Out

    Stepping Out

    This morning I decided to take a step out of my comfort zone. I get a little nervous trying out new things especially when I don’t know anyone else. Today Elijah and I took a drive over to White Salmon. We stopped by the library for baby/toddler story time. I didn’t know what to expect…

  • Imaginary Neighborhood

    Imaginary Neighborhood

    I know I have already talked about this a little. When you get a card in the mail that says “in my imaginary neighborhood you live right next door…”, I can’t help but shed more tears over the recent move. I can’t help but think of the tears that we have shed and the ones that…

    Now that we have been in The Dalles for a week and Brent is now onto his second week of work over in White Salmon, we are both trying to figure out where to start building community. This isn’t an easy question to answer as we have yet to figure out where we will be…

  • Finding Our Bearing

    Finding Our Bearing

    We’ve been here a week now, the U-Haul has been returned, the storage unit filled, bags unpacked and a few days of work under my belt. I’ve been getting used to the commute, but I think with views like this, I’ll come to enjoy this part of my day. The first days of my new…

    I started saying goodbye to Bozeman back in July when Brent actively started applying for jobs around the Pacific Northwest. Now, it has always been a dream of ours to leave Bozeman. I wanted an adventure. I had only ever moved from the northern part of Montana down to the Gallatin Valley with my parents…

  • Goodbye, for Now

    Goodbye, for Now

    As I write this post, I am sitting on a sleeping bag in the master bedroom of our house in Bozeman. Our bed is gone, few items still remain in the house. I can’t sleep. My mind is torn between the new adventure that lies ahead and the friends and family we leave behind. A…
