Lighting up the sky
I was introduced to Rudy during an assignment for work. He is the 2018 inductee to the Skyline Award for Excellence for his service to White Salmon, Skyline Hospital and the Columbia River Gorge. I was as his house to snag a couple pics for a newsletter. While chatting with him, he brought up that…

Christmas Tree Farm | A New Form of Tree Hunting
Brent and I have been married for almost 10 years. That means this Christmas will be our tenth one together. It is so much fun to think about that. We don’t have a lot of traditions established yet. Mostly because we just did whatever was going on with our families and our friends. We figured…

It’s Gone!
After a month of delays that kept coming, our house finally closed yesterday! It was a rough ride especially for me. I spend my days at my parent’s house just thinking about our current life and all that has gone on. I don’t see my friends since they are miles away, Brent is away at…

Finding the Perfect Tree
Brent and I have made it a tradition to go and cut down our Christmas tree in the mountains every year. These last 4 years we have done it the day of the Christmas Stroll in downtown Bozeman. We make a Christmas day out of it and usually end it with a Christmas movie. This…

Christmas Tree Hunting
Along with the annual Bozeman Christmas Stroll, another tradition that Jess and I have been faithful to is the procuring of our seasonal, indoor evergreen. We have decided that whenever possible, it is best to go to the natural habitat of such a specimen to ensure the full authenticity of the act. As we have…

Christmas Stroll
Jess and I have made it a tradition to go to the annual Christmas Stroll in downtown Bozeman. If you’ve never been to Bozeman, it has a beautiful, historic downtown that the city closes a section off for various events throughout the year, this happens to be our favorite event. There is something to be…

The only allowed exception in early holiday fare
As each store continues to light up with ads for Christmas, catering to kids, moms, grandparents, even dogs, I notice that with each passing year, the commercialization of the holiday season comes earlier and earlier. Why do we need to stock up on Christmas trinkets and bobbles nearly two month ahead? It’s not like we…
