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…

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.…

Shelby Adventures
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…
