    Last night I was trying to figure out what to make Brent for his birthday breakfast. Since he normally makes breakfast, I decided that he could not on his birthday. I wanted to give him a day off as it is definitely deserved. His 26 years in this world and all the running he does…

    Lewis and Clark Caverns

    It is always neat to go down into caves to see a different and unique view of God’s creation. We enjoyed hanging around the visitors center before we were able to head out on the tour. Krista and I wondered around for a few minutes and took a few pictures. It was starting to get…

    One Last Time Out

    A few years ago, we started a tradition of doing a family weekend with my parents and siblings. Unfortunately, my brother and his family was not able to join us this year. We decided to go camping over at the Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park for an evening. To make the trip even easier,…

    [singlepic id=221 w=320 h=240 float=center] Now that the company I work for recently relocated to Bozeman, my commute has decreased considerable from 25 minutes to just five minutes.

    The other day Brent was making his tasty puffed pancake for breakfast. He put the butter in the microwave to melt so that it could be mixed into his batter. All of a sudden, the microwave started sending out quick little spark noises. Brent could see the sparks flying and quickly turned it off. First…

    Brent headed over to some friends house tonight, but not before I whipped a batch of homemade brownies for all the guys. What guys do not want tasty brownies after pizza? What a combo. I then decided to make myself a tasty dinner for one. I had a bunch of fresh peppers and onion, a…

  • 21 Miles – The Good and Bad

    We woke up yesterday morning to the sounds of a thunderstorm rolling through. As the thunder sounded and the lightening struck, we could feel our house shaking around us. The rain was pouring down as we looked out the window trying to decide what to do with our 21 mile run we had planned for…

    We woke up this morning to a nice drizzle. Something that does not happen too often here in Montana on a fall day. Listening to the rain while laying in bed makes the day start off right. It calms everything down including the haze of smoke that has been over the valley this week. This…

  • Just One Month Away

    One month from today is the marathon. I will be out there hitting the streets of Portland probably thinking about the hundreds of miles I logged, hours of hitting the pavement and trails, preparing myself mentally for that very moment. I wonder how I will be feeling. Probably nervous as to whether I am actually…

    Last night, some good friends of ours invited us over for dinner. She had just got a Japanese cook book and wanted to try something out on us. Well, it turned out great. I can not tell you the type of soup we had, nor what the chicken skewers are called. For dessert, we indulged…
