This is a perfect representation right outside of my house of our winter this year. I have a few adjectives – artic, bleak, depressing, horrid. Thus NO running outside for 3 months.
All winter I’ve known I am running the Moab half. Every week I thought the inversion would lift, the temperature would rise, the ice would melt and every week it didn’t. Continue reading
There comes a time every winter that I must escape, lest I lose my mind and will to continue. Must be my AZ brain muscle memory. 2013 has by far been THE WORST January I can remember. I believe every single day was freezing, snowing and/or the worst air quality in the world (truly). I am so glad I planned a trip for the middle of January! Continue reading
My semester is over…phew! After history of R&R, I am absolutely sure that I loath heavy metal in all its forms (there’s A LOT of them) as well as 99% of rap and I (somewhat embarrassingly) really liked the psychedelic genre. After digital photography, I am absolutely sure that there is SO much more to learn, but I have the best camera to do it. After Justice & International Affairs, I absolutely know I will not go into political philosophy and avoid it like the plague (my instructor made it as palatable as possible thank heavens).
At the beginning of the semester, I chose to give up sugar for 90 days and told B that I needed a reward to keep me motivated. Continue reading
Shel has the best Thanksgiving decor for her house and our heads
Our usual Thanksgiving is spent putting the turkey in the oven, going up skiing and then coming home to a warm house and an even warmer meal. Without having D around this year, not wanting us to feel sorry for ourselves missing him too much, I convinced B to deviate from our tradition and head south. Continue reading

Once she got it..she caught most the waves
Seeing as our trip to Huntington Beach involved both of my girl’s favorite memory of the year and it was totally spontaneous with zero planning makes me think that I need to be more open to those kind of trips.
For Ari, surfing was the most awesome thing she’s ever done. She says there is nothing cooler than having a wave push you in to shore. Based on the few times I tried to surf or boogie boarded, I would have to agree it’s a bit of a rush. Maybe it feels a little like flying might?
Plus, she’s been reading “Soul Surfer” and was very inspired. She wants to surf in Hawaii now…..I am sure she does!
Brothers who adore each other despite being 9 years apart.
When I asked TT what his favorite memory was, he said “oh that’s easy..laying on a hammock with D on our last night in Hawaii”.
We had walked down to a restaurant along the beach and eaten dinner our last night in Hawaii. All along the path there were hammocks hung between the palm trees sporadically. The rest of us had walked ahead of them and they were walking back together. D said he wanted to hang out in one of them for awhile, so the two of them bonded for about half an hour late at night in a hammock along the beach. I think that’s one of the coolest things he’s ever told me.
