    An Oregon Run

    Brent and I were able to go on a chilly yet beautiful run the other morning in The Dalles. I ran up a hill to gain about 1000 feet. It felt great and the view was beautiful. It is a great way to start my training as it is a fresh start. Running in a…

    Split Pea Soup is definitely far from one of my favorite things to eat. At least, it has been. Brent loves the stuff and he rarely ever gets it. I decided to take a stab at making it. I jazzed it up in my own way with rosemary hoping that I would like it and…

    It has been a couple years since we have seen multiple days of snow. It has snowed off and on these last several days, but nothing compares to today. It started snowing early this morning and it has not stopped. I was debating whether or not I wanted to attempt my lunch run today. I…

    Finding the Perfect Tree

    Brent and I have made it a tradition to go and cut down our Christmas tree in the mountains every year. These last 4 years we have done it the day of the Christmas Stroll in downtown Bozeman. We make a Christmas day out of it and usually end it with a Christmas movie. This…

    Running – What to do in 2013?

    As I have been thinking over and over again what I would like to do for running next year, I was torn. I would really like to run another marathon next year, but I have told myself that I am not training for one over the summer again. Next summer is going to be reserved…

    Brent and I went on a date night a couple weekends ago to celebrate him asking me to marry him 5 years ago. We went to our favorite place for dinner and then decided to spend sometime downtown taking photographs. It was a little chilly out, but fun to take some photos in the dark.…

    It is always great to go up north and visit our friends. At the beginning of November, we ventured up to Shelby to just spend some quality time in the middle of nowhere. We spent lots of time on the couch, had a quick visit to Canada to see Writing on the Stone and watch…
