Last week we had Abbi’s end-of-the-year Gymanstics fun meet. This is a time where all the gymnasts get together to show their friends and family all the stuff they’ve been working on this past year. Let me just start by saying that the meet started at 5:30, which meant we had to leave the house [...]

Camping — A few weeks ago we also took our first camping trip of the year. Our camping weekend actually had a really rough start. The night before we were to leave we had a huge storm blow through. The thunder and lightning were so close and the loud that I had a frightened 3 [...]

Well, look-e-here, I’m actually posting something other than a “30 Days to 30” memory! Watch out! The worst part though is that I have so much to write about because we’ve had a busy few weeks around here. So, here goes! The wedding — At the end of May Tim’s brother got married and both [...]

Memory #28 – age 27 yrsI kicked off my 27th year in Alaska once again. We were on a 2 week vacation with Tim’s family, visiting his brother, Kevin, and his family. This time though, unlike our postponed honeymoon, we had a 7 month old baby in tote. She did amazingly well for having her [...]

Memory #27 – age 26 yrs My 26th birthday I spent on vacation in Jackson Hole, WY with my husband and friends, Scott and Tara. Oh, and I was four months pregnant. Yes, the pregnancy stopped me from sampling the delish drinks from the local brewery but it did not stop me from hiking through [...]

Memory #25 – age 24 yrs Right after I turned 24 we left for our honeymoon (delayed 13 months after our actual wedding). We went to Alaska to visit Tim’s brother and his family. While we were there we did all the touristy stuff, hung out with the fam, and even went up in an [...]

I’ve always had troubles finding earbuds that work for me. I’m not super picky but I need ones that fit my ears. Apparently I have really small ears because the ones that come with your iPod, those white ones from Apple, hurt my ears. I can honestly wear them for about 5 minutes and then [...]

Memory #24 – age 23 yrs My life didn’t change much after the wedding. We delayed our honeymoon until the following summer (which I would technically be 24 since we didn’t leave for Alaska until after my birthday) so I just spent the year being married, taking care of two naughty kittens, and working. Believe [...]
