Hi, ho, hi, ho, it’s off to Idaho!
Leaving Moses Lake, I attempted another 5k on the hotel dreadmill. This is what I was looking at as I was running: Sadly those little signs did nothing to motivate nor energize me as this is as far as I got before it felt like I’d been on the thing for an eternity: Have… Continue reading

The Best Laid Plans
We do love our plans. We lay them all out. We just know that we’ve covered every base, any possibility. Ha! Tell that to anyone who has done a road trip with minions! Starting off the day with a good run, we finished buttoning up the house, said some bittersweet goodbyes, and passed the inspection with flying… Continue reading

The Last One
It was my last morning run in Washington, and the first of many as we travel across the states to our new home. Here’s the deal. I am doing a “5k Across the Country” type of thing. Or at least a 5k in every state we stop. So here are a few things I saw… Continue reading

It’s Here!
It’s moving day! Or, rather, days – as is plural. Who moves in just one day? I’d like to meet them…and take notes! It’s a sea of boxes around here, tent is pitched in the back yard, and PCS season has arrived! We are camping out in the back yard this time around. It’s great… Continue reading

Initially we receive the orders, the “penciled in” ones that are sort of for sure, but could change at anytime. This is where we don’t really get… Continue reading

Wonder-Full Wednesday: Home
Since we are smack dab in the middle of moving, I can surely tell you the things I am not grateful for (boxes, a sea of paper, not being able to find things, etc.) What I am grateful for this week revolves around the idea of home. More than just the platitude of “home is where your… Continue reading

Wonder and Grattitude
As we gear up to move I find myself more and more excited. I love to move. Really. Yes, it’s a headache, yes, it’s even more of a trauma with kiddos, but I still love it. Taking the time to review belongings, purging what is no longer needed, cleaning and gearing up for the big… Continue reading

Downsizing, Reorganizing, Purging, Moving and Other Things I’m Grateful For
I love a new year. I love the clean slate feeling. Perhaps it’s not just the clean slate, but more spring being on the horizon. (And yes, you can have a “clean slate” every day – no need to wait until “monday”, “tomorrow”, “next month” or even a new year.) For me, that clean slate… Continue reading

See You Laters and Welcome Back!
Now that we have our internet up and the house is starting to look like a home as the cardboard sea subsides…..I had to take a moment to share our See You Laters and our Welcome Backs! Jayde was my neighbor in Hawaii – STRONG CHICKS!! So much fun to workout one last time where… Continue reading
