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…

Christmas Letter 2012
Greetings friends and family! Boy has it been a year for us. We hope that this note finds you well and encouraged for the new year ahead of us. I don’t have a lot of space on this years mailing, so I’ll keep it brief. We started off our year in search of two things,…

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…

Maze!
This year Brent and I went with my sister and a bunch of her friends to the local straw bale maze. We have a fun time weaving in and out of the walls of bales trying to find our way out. Brent and I decided to stick together. They had 4 different spots hidden within…

San Francisco!
We took off not so early on Friday morning for San Francisco. Our plan didn’t leave until 9:40, so Brent and I took advantage of the time we had to relax before our trip. The plane ride was nice and quick as it was a direct flight down there. We arrived and our friend picked…

Let it Snow!
In the last few days we have seen a fair amount of the seasonal precipitation that comes more often in a solid, crystalline form. Jess isn’t quite ready for it, or at least what it means for running (miserable, thats what it means). But I am ready! I love summer, but summer is always so…
