    Elevation Profiles

    So, as you know, we have had some pretty great adventures over this summer. Whether running, hiking, biking or driving, we’ve been all over the place and covered some very interesting terrain. From the bottom of the various valleys and to the tops of mountains, we have also covered some generous elevations too. I’ll start…

    The Weekend’s Adventures

    This past weekend, Brent and I had a fairly active weekend. We enjoyed a nice 16 mile run which went amazing. Then we settled down for a few hours before we headed out on a walk around downtown Bozeman. After that little jaunt, we headed up to the Hyalite Canyon area where we enjoyed a…

    Driving down a winding, high altitude gravel road, memories of my early driving days came back to me. The days when I hung a stopwatch from my mirror and blasted down the gravel road on my way to school. We won’t get into the specifics, but I learned a lot about how a car handled…

    Last night, I decided to take a chance at making a raspberry pear crisp without a recipe. We had some friends over the other night and I had made individual apple crisps. Well, I wanted to make sometime of dessert for last night as Brent was upstairs working on some projects that he is several…

  • Runnin’ Thoughts

    With my next half marathon less than two weeks away, I am off the wall excited. I will be running solo. No one else has registered to run the race purposely because I am running it, nor did I register because someone else is running it. I do know others that are running, but this…

    Lately, Brent and I have been addicted to the new Mat Kearney album titled “Young Love.” We had been playing it over and over using Spotify. We ran out to get a few things at Target last week, so I grabbed the CD while Brent was off looking at some technology thingy. We continued walking…

    Last night, we had some wonderful friends over for dinner. I made mahi mahi tacos, pineapple salsa, and individual apple crisps. With the leftover pineapple salsa, I decided to make pineapple chicken for dinner tonight. I served it with a side of rice, a side of avocados, a dollop of sour cream, and topped it…

    Gravelly Mountains

    Friday night Brent and I took off with the Subaru loaded with camping gear and our friends, Scott and Sara Swanson (newlyweds)! We headed south of Bozeman to the Gravelly Mountain Range where we had ran the half at the Madison Marathon. We had been so impressed by the scenery and wanted a chance at…

    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…

    I love the mornings as my most amazing husband ever always shows off his breakfast skills. He has no problem coming up with great things to make. As a girl that hardly ate breakfast before her husband came into the picture, I do not know how I could live without it now. It is probably…

    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…

    Jess’s ABC’s

    The ABC experiment ended up being more difficult than I had thought. The lens I used turned out to be quit a challenge as there were letters I saw, but was not able to as I could not be far enough away.  Shooting in manual did not seem to be the hard part as it…
