  • Now where did I leave off…13.1 mi.

    On Sunday, June 5th, Brent and I ran our first race and first 1/2 marathon of the year 2011. It was a beautiful morning with few clouds in the sky which was to make for the hottest day that we have had so far this year. The half marathon course started up a little way…

  • Whatever We Want

    Saturday was a day in which we had absolutely no plans. We did not even have to run. What do you do with a day like that? January was the last time on a Saturday that we did not have any plans except for running of course. We slept in until our bodies woke up…

  • Race Ready

    I have been yearning for a race all year. We are in the 6th month of the year, I have missed the races that have happened already this year due to other events, and it has been seven months since my last race. (Which on a side note did not go very well as it…

  • Sleep

    Oh sleep. The moments I find you can be so relaxing. Other times you are just lingering over me laughing as I toss and turn all night long. These are the nights that I wish could just end as I know that they will never get better. The nights were I am sleeping soundly, my…

  • A Weekend Alone

    You would think that since Brent left over the weekend for a wedding, that I would have managed to get on here and post a new blog. That is not the case as I tried to occupy myself in other ways than just sitting in front of the computer. I needed to be up doing…

  • 3 Amazing Years

    God has definitely blessed me with these three years of being with Brent. Not only is Brent the best husband that I could have ever asked for, he is my best friend and the one I will spend the rest of my life with. Over the last three years God has been working on my…

  • Boise Trip

    Yes, It was already a couple weekends ago, but Boise was a great trip for multiple reasons. Brent and I left on a Friday morning after a long week of work. We were ready for a day off. We got into Boise and found our hotel with ease. We stayed at the Modern Hotel which…

  • Beautiful

    It is that time of year again when you start waking up to the sunlight streaming into your bedroom window. I wish that was the case for me these past two weeks, but I have still been getting up too early. As I write this, it is still early in the morning at about 6:40.…

  • Finally ~ Heat, Running, and Photography

    Finally the sun is shining and the snow is not falling. Brent and I enjoyed a nice forty minute run last night with no snow or rain, just the sun. It was 54 degrees. On Friday, we will be headed to Boise where it is suppose to be in the 70’s. Not too sure how…

  • Come and Gone

    Brent’s parents spent their first visit here with us being very busy as there was a lot going on. We had an award ceremony, a college open house, graduation/party, and Mother’s Day. It was great to have them here and involved in everything, but it would have been nice to have one day to relax…

  • He Did It!

    Brent did it! He finally graduated from college and I am very proud of him. It may have taken a while to get through, but God had a plan. Everything is coming together and I am so glad that that stage of our lives is over. We woke up fairly early on Saturday morning to…

  • Outstanding Senior

    The Powell parents arrived safely yesterday afternoon. It was just in time for Brent and I to head back to work after lunch, but at least we were able to show them around our place and let them get settled for a moment. After work, I headed up to campus to celebrate Brent’s achievements in…
