A Hop, A Skip and Here We Are!
About an hour ago, Jess and I landed in Nashville. Our purpose for coming here is two-fold. First and foremost, we are here to see my brother and his family. Second, we are here to run a race. Jess is signed up to run the full marathon at the St. Judes Country Music Rock’N’Roll marathon…

Ridin’ da Bike
As the weather has been steadily improving, the whole community has been waking up. It used to be that Jess and I could run for miles and not see another person walking, let alone running. Now the fair-weather, winter-afflicted souls our out about creating the hustle and bustle that make Bozeman so enjoyable in the…

Someone’s got a new bicycle!
As many of you know, Jess had her 25th birthday this last week. An early birthday gift came in the form of a new road bike that we had been saving up for. We went to Owenhouse to pick up the Giant Avail 2 after I arrived home from working in Helena on Tuesday. We…

Gas Buydown
Saturday, Jess and I had the chance to go and serve with Venture Church at Bozeman’s first ever “Gas Buy-down.” For those of you who don’t know what that is, a gas buy-down is where a sponsoring organization comes in to a gas station to reduce the price of fuel by a certain amount, in…

GoPro!
REI dividend….check! 20% off coupon….check! Desire to own a POV (point of view) camera….check! Well I think you can guess what I just purchased. Last Friday, I picked up a GoPro HD2 at REI and played with it a little bit over the weekend. I decided I needed to do something with it so I…

Double Dip
This past Sunday, Jess and I broke new ground. As some of you know, we have been in the process of finding a new church family. Our search lead us to some churches we were familiar with, others brought new experiences. It grew us as we never quite realized the diversity represented by so many…

Dinner Around The World – The Philippines
Last night, Jess and I, along with some other friends took the opportunity to revise a college tradition. While living in family and graduate housing at MSU, we would regularly get together for an international cuisine night. It was a great time to pull out some recipes or perhaps try something new, but it mostly…

Nifty Fifty
I recently picked up a new lens so I took it along with me during a few activities this last week. The new addition to our lens arsenal is the Nikon 50mm 1.8G, a fifty millimeter prime lens with a f1.8 aperture. This will hopefully alleviate a boiling point in the Powell household, who gets…

Crepes
Today, as Jess was showering after her run, I started on making her some food. Even though it was nearing 1:00 pm, I started to make some tasty raspberry cream filled crepes. So I pulled out the trusty Better Homes & Gardens Crepes cookbook an got rolling. The recipe was easy enough but it did…

Running and Cycling
Yesterday morning, Jess had a scheduled 20 mile run to do and since I’ve been dragging my feet on the whole running front, I decided to run a portion with her. I also recently signed up for the Seattle to Portland cycling event, so I needed to get out on that new bike of mine…

Winter Running (Without Winter)
As you have probably been reading from Jess, we have had a strange lack of winter this year, which has lead to some beautiful days, days more reminiscent of spring. Jess has been able to enjoy many of her runs in above freezing temperatures and many of them in sunshine. It really has been a…

Table Progress – DONE!
I’m done! The table is finally finished. After putting a coat of wax and rubber feet on the table, I decided to bring it in. It’s a good thing I didn’t make it 6′ like I originally planned! It feels great to have accomplished this task! Now I just need to find some chairs. Hopefully…
