Solstice
As Brent and I were wondering around downtown Bozeman today, we stumbled across the Schnee’s Warehouse Sale. We stepped inside hoping to find a new pair of dress/work shoes for me and maybe Brent. I dropped down one size in shoes after I started running 2 years ago and it has been that long since…

New Photo Subjects
I decided to try to take some photos that I normally don’t attempt. I like sticking with the outdoors rather than objects inside. Tonight, I thought, why not. I hope you enjoy my experiment. I think I have some work to do, but a person has to start somewhere.

Baking with our “girls”
It was one of the girls birthdays yesterday, so one of her sisters and I spent time Friday night baking. She wanted to make a cheesecake which turned into me making it. Not a big deal as I love to bake. Plus it was fun to do a something a little special for “our”…

No Lottery – What to do?
This last weekend I ran the Nike+ Women’s Half Marathon. Although they called it a half marathon, you only had to run at least 13.1 so I was able to run my scheduled 15 miler. It was fun to run although I was all by myself. I knew I was running for cancer. I…

Our New Table
Okay, it’s not actually done yet but I’ve started working on it. I’m not even sure what the wood is, but it looks nice. I had enough of the wood to make the top and I should have enough left over for the trim. I haven’t figured out what I’m using for the legs just…

Creamy Potato Soup
After a day of single digit temperatures, there was nothing more desirable than soup for dinner. Homemade soup it was! This would be great served with Zopf bread or biscuits. Feel free to add other vegetables as I only used what I had on hand. Enjoy! 1 medium onion diced 2 tsp minced garlic 1/2 cup…

Sprints
This past week I finally decided to start doing some sprints for my marathon training. It has been several months since I have done them and I forgot how much I really do not like them. I am not a very good short distance runner, actually, I am not good at all. I set out…

Where did 1,050 miles take me in 2011?
At the beginning of 2011, I decided to start keeping a log of my running miles. I thought it would be fun to show where the 1,050 miles took me over the last year from running at 9,000 feet to running a marathon. It was quite a second year in running. My pace increased almost…

Cheesy Breadsticks
Tonight was pizza night in the Powell house. We made a homemade chicken pizza with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce. I decided that I would try to make some breadsticks to go along with them. Another new creation and a keeper it is! For the Bread: 2 cups flour 1 tsp. yeast 3/4 cup warm…

Quick ND Trip
This past weekend, I had an extra day off work because of the holidays, so on Friday morning we woke up early and headed out to North Dakota. What is in North Dakota? My entire extended family. My sister tagged along and we set out for the 8 hour journey. We made it safe and…

Crescent Lake
As Jess had already blogged about, we headed up to Hyalite once again on New Year Eve’s Day to showshoe. Krista tagged along with us and as we approached the reservoir parking lot, we noticed that the wasn’t a chance for parking. Fortunately, many of the Hyalite trails are connected by skiing trails during the…
