3 Amazing Years
God has definitely blessed me with these three years of being with Brent. Not only is Brent the best husband that I could have ever asked for, he is my best friend and the one I will spend the rest of my life with. Over the last three years God has been working on my…

Boise Trip
Yes, It was already a couple weekends ago, but Boise was a great trip for multiple reasons. Brent and I left on a Friday morning after a long week of work. We were ready for a day off. We got into Boise and found our hotel with ease. We stayed at the Modern Hotel which…

Beautiful
It is that time of year again when you start waking up to the sunlight streaming into your bedroom window. I wish that was the case for me these past two weeks, but I have still been getting up too early. As I write this, it is still early in the morning at about 6:40.…

Finally ~ Heat, Running, and Photography
Finally the sun is shining and the snow is not falling. Brent and I enjoyed a nice forty minute run last night with no snow or rain, just the sun. It was 54 degrees. On Friday, we will be headed to Boise where it is suppose to be in the 70’s. Not too sure how…

Come and Gone
Brent’s parents spent their first visit here with us being very busy as there was a lot going on. We had an award ceremony, a college open house, graduation/party, and Mother’s Day. It was great to have them here and involved in everything, but it would have been nice to have one day to relax…

Graduation!
So, here is a load of pictures for the events preceding, during and after the graduation ceremony. This is also the debut for pictures from our new toy, a Nikon D7000 with the 55-300 lens. I don’t have the energy to put my deeper thoughts into this, but rest assured that I will add some as…

Outstanding Senior
The Powell parents arrived safely yesterday afternoon. It was just in time for Brent and I to head back to work after lunch, but at least we were able to show them around our place and let them get settled for a moment. After work, I headed up to campus to celebrate Brent’s achievements in…

The Busy Life
Sometimes life seems to hit us all at once and then the next thing we know is that the week or day is over. I am one that loves when I have something to do as I am not much of an alone time person. (Although, this week I have been enjoying my mornings alone).…

The Difference
The difference that one whole year and some can make for many things is huge. In my case, I am talking about running. I started running in October of 2009 because of my work. I sit at a desk all day and only get up and about maybe once or twice throughout my eight hour…

Bringing Back the Memories
As I read the 2011 spring newsletter from Sacred Portion, I can’t help but get caught up in all the emotions of my Philippines trip. The newsletter includes a section devoted to our work team sharing what we did over at Rehoboth. There is a good description of the different tasks that the 14 of…

A Magic Show
Last night Brent and I were given a gift of two tickets to the Jay Owenhouse magic show. We were also given some money for dinner. What a fun “free” date night. I have never been to a magic show before. (Or as it should really be called, an illusion show. It just doesn’t have…

Speedster
Yes, this is about me, Jessica, and how crazy fast I am at running. They call me the speedster! Yeah right, not in this lifetime. Although I am happy with the times I put up as I know I work my hardest, I am not the speedster. In fact I am talking about those that…
