Run to the Pub 2012
Brent and I decided to run our first race of the year on St. Patrick’s Day! It is hard to get any races in before this time of year in Montana because of our lovely winters. We woke up around 7 am this morning, another lovely thing about racing in March in Montana is that…

Windy Destruction
Tonight as the wind howled outside, we were inside enjoying a nice game with my parents before they take off in the morning. As we were enjoying the game, the wind decided to take a stab at our BBQ grill. There it went crashing down. It decided to pull a yard sale crash landing all…

Table Progress – DONE!
I’m done! The table is finally finished. After putting a coat of wax and rubber feet on the table, I decided to bring it in. It’s a good thing I didn’t make it 6′ like I originally planned! It feels great to have accomplished this task! Now I just need to find some chairs. Hopefully…

Going Away…
Last night, we threw my parents a surprise going away party. They are less than two weeks away from embarking on a new adventure in Oregon. We invited many people to come and get a few last goodbyes in before the big move. It was great to see everyone supporting them and excited for their…

Increased Mileage Update
I have been plugging away at logging my long runs over the last several weekends. From here on out, I will not be going below a 16 miler. (Other than my midweek mileage). When I trained for the Portland Marathon, I think I ran a total of 4 runs over 15 miles which included one…

Table progress
The table nearly looks like a table! Albeit upside down. All I have left to do on the construction is fasten and secure the curtains to the legs and top and the finishing stage commences! Pretty good considering I didn’t follow any plans and used free lumber!

Persuasion
Reading update: I finished another book! I am sure this is something that is very interesting to all of you, but I just have to share. I have this deep desire inside to read, but I never do. There are so many books out there that I would love to open. I don’t know why…

Baby Shower Creations
Other the last few months, my friend and I had the privilege of putting together a baby shower for our close friend. After countless times getting together to “plan”, which always turned it to fun chatter time, we finally got everything planned out. We took one night to decorate cookies, using the best sugar cookie recipe (my…

New, short & fun
After Jess ran 18 miles this morning, ate breakfast and got ready for the day, she headed off to the beauty shop to get her hair done. She has been wanting to cut her hair short for a while now and decided to take the plunge. I had to run a few errands and happened…

Poor Jessica
I recently was able to upgrade my phone a little early due to some technical difficulties. Yesterday, my new iPhone 4s arrived. Jess and I have been saving for our upgrades for some time now. As I upgraded a month early, Jess still has to wait for another 25 day until her upgrade is ready.…

Update: No Snow
I don’t know if you remember, but back around November I was complaining about running in the snow. I did not know how I was going to work out my runs after it dumped outside. Well, the sad thing is….I haven’t had to. There is no snow. We did have it dump a couple times,…

Solstice
As Brent and I were wondering around downtown Bozeman today, we stumbled across the Schnee’s Warehouse Sale. We stepped inside hoping to find a new pair of dress/work shoes for me and maybe Brent. I dropped down one size in shoes after I started running 2 years ago and it has been that long since…
