    A Visit from Afar

    The other week, Brent and I had heard from a little birdie that our friend Fe and her husband Ken were in town from the Philippines. I sent out a message to her not knowing if she would have time for dinner or even a quick visit. We lucked out! Last week we were able…

    Bozeman Half Marathon 2012

    On Sunday morning September 9th, I got up early with Brent still in bed and made my way down the stairs for a quick breakfast. I sat in the stool tired and wanting to go back to sleep. It really was not that early as I wake up early during the week days. I ate…

    On Saturday, Brent and I had some friends over to celebrate his birthday. I decided to try and make two cakes.  I spent a few hours bumming around the kitchen using dish after dish. Good thing Brent stayed on top of dish duty! My first cake was Dulce de Leche. It was a white cake…

  • Golden Birthday

    Today is Brent’s 27th birthday which makes it his golden! I prepared some caramel rolls last night and left them in the fridge for this morning. I woke up early to take them out so they could warm up before putting them in the oven. We enjoyed some time in God’s word, coffee and the…

    A Walk Through the Park

    Last Saturday Brent and I had some time to kill, so we wondered off to our favorite trail. We took our cameras with us and took some photos. Usually we just walk along the trail, but this time was different. We decided to find a nice quiet spot along the creek and just sit. It…

  • A Walk Downtown

    A Walk Downtown

    As Brent already told you, the other night we took a walk downtown just to get out. The smoke has been so bad this week and summer that I have had to be extremely flexible with my runs. We skipped the run this night in particular because we couldn’t see the surrounding mountains. This was…

  • Update Regarding the Last Grand Teton Relay Post

    I was just minutes away from publishing my last post about the Grand Teton Relay. I had typed about 1,300 or more words and wrapped up the last of the events. I decided to add some photos and some where along the way, I deleted all of the words. It was sad. Brent thought that…

  • Grand Teton Relay – Day 2

    Grand Teton Relay – Day 2

    I laid on the hard ground in my sleeping bag on top of the tarp we had brought. I found a comfortable position, but was unable to sleep due to the fact that I was paranoid that my alarm would not go off. I might have dosed off for a minute but my alarm did indeed go off. Krista’s…

    A weekend with the parents

    Brent, my sister an I met early one Saturday morning to drive to the Spokane area where we would be meeting Brent’s parents and mine. It was almost the perfect meeting location. Almost as in it was close to half way. We got the “long” end of the stick and had to drive about an…
