A Saturday Drive
Since I was still not feeling that great on Saturday, we decided to go out and take some photos. It has been a while since we have devoted set hours to this activity. We drove around the valley trying to find some new and fun spots to take pictures. We ended up close to the…

Ultra Training
My training for my ultra began at the beginning of the month and boy has it been a trip so far. The weather has been blizzard like, freezing cold (temperatures below zero!!) and not to mention mostly extremely icy. This is much different from the warm winter we had last year. I am loving all…

Snowshoeing in the Chilliness of Winter
Last weekend we decided that we wanted to take put on the snowshoes and go for a little hike. We found out that some of our friends were already planning on doing this, so we joined them. We did not really know what we were getting ourselves into. It was -5˚ when I got out…

What is that white stuff???
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…
