Hey all! I want to thank you all for your kind comments and e-mails I received yesterday. It has been so incredibly frustrating not only NOT being able to run, but having no one understand when you explain the pain! So thanks for that! I thought I’d start today off with something I observed at […]

I have been meaning to make this post for quite a while, because I blog frequently on my running group, and I wanted to explain a little more what it’s all about. I haven’t been hashing as long as my fiancé Dan, so I thought it’d be fun to interview him and let him explain […]

I love a good soirée. Sometimes I even wish soirée was my middle name (no, not really. But it is pretty and fun to say!). Even better, I am blessed with a fiancé that also enjoys entertaining. When we were living in Seattle we often entertained and had fun playing host and hostess to our […]
