During the Holidays
There is nothing better during the holidays than seeing family! As it is always a joy throughout the year, around the holidays it is extra special. It is the time of year that you realize just how important and wonderful family is in your life. As the holidays rolled in for Brent and I, we were…

Our first snowshoe outing of the season…
As Brent wrote earlier in his blog post about History Rock, we were able to enjoy our first outing of the season with our snowshoes. The snow has been fairly light around here for this winter season. A great thing when it comes to my running, but not so good for the snow activities that we would…

Making People Fat for the Holidays
Over the past several years, my mom, sister and I have gotten together to make Christmas cookies. It has been a blast. Usually, we just make my grandma’s awesome White Cookies and then maybe one or two other cookies that we are familiar with making. Last year, we spent hours decorating the white cookies with…

My First Turkey
Brent and I hosted Thanksgiving again this year, but we were in charge of the meal. I woke up bright and early at 6 to prepare our post Huffing for Stuffing Race caramel rolls. While the dough was rising, I prepared my first turkey. I was kind of nervous because people tend to make a…

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,…

Sourdough Trail
My sister wanted to go on a walk to take pictures on my favorite trail, so of course I asked if I could go along. We started at a different end of the trail than I normally do, which was great because it gave me a new view. I cannot get over how much I…

Time with the Cuz
I was lucky enough to have my cousin Jenni come and visit. She arrived on Thursday and was able to stay till today. I have not seen my cousin since Brent’s and my wedding. We had a great time reminiscing, catching up on each others lives, and just having an all out good time. Not…

My Most Talented Husband
As I am sitting here listening to Brent pick out and practice songs for Sunday mornings worship service, I just think of how blessed I am to have such a talented man for a husband. He has the most amazing voice and his guitar skills are rockin’. I love just sitting here and listening to…

Fun Trip to Oregon
Jess and I had a great trip out to Oregon recently (you can read Jessica’s accounts here and here) and had a great time. We primarily went on the premise of my Niece’s wedding. Jess’ parents were gracious enough to let us take their Mustang convertible on the trip. This was a huge blessing as…
