So I know it's a bit after Christmas (yes almost Valentine's day) but I still had to post a picture of our first Christmas tree as a couple. I know I know, we have been married 4.5 years but the nesting-home-loving-want-to-decorate-for-the-holidays feelings didn't hit until this year. Isn't it so pretty!?!

Hi all! With it being Sept 1st today, Ben and I can't help but reflect over our summer.... He went to Thialand She perfected smoothie making He went to Whistler She knocked some books off her "reading to-do list" He road his bike a ton She dislocated her shoulder....hence the title of this post. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not bitter about taking the whole month of August and half of July

Yup yup, it's not everyday that you get to say "Ya my husband and brother are in Thailand building orphanages." Makes them sound like saints! :O) But they are, and they are there, I swear! It's a 2 week trip with our high school youth group (18 kids and 5 adults!). I'm thinking they are going to need a vacation when they come back! Or at least a good fun mt bike ride.

Went to China last week on business and had a blast! Food was great, nice weather (minus the smog) and even had time to relax by the pool for an hour. We also got foot massages 2 nights in a row, fun! The picture above is me getting a pedicure. I was a bit nervous considering he was using knifes but my feet turned out night and soft.

Ben and I just got back from an EPIC hut trip adventure with 9 of the world's funnest people! The trip could not have been any better! Amazing weather (3.5ft of snow in 3 days!), spectacular people, good food and tons of laughter. Here are some pictures I took. When Garret post's his professional pics, I'll share the link!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Ben and I don't send out Christmas cards, at least not yet, we probably will when we have kids, which is still years away thanks to a wonderful baby shower that I went to this week where the mom's talked about "blow-outs". GROSS! Anyways back to our Christmas cards....We decided we will do our Christmas cards via this blog. Save some trees. So here are some of

Wowie so it's been awhile since I last posted, sorry about that. We got a bit distracted by....SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yahoo it's here and there is a ton! Ben and I have been touring lately and we played on our snowmobile on Saturday, great fun! I'll post pictures of that sooner that later. My awesomely outrageous beautiful friend Kelly Brox came over on Sunday and we rode delicious pow at Meadows.

On Saturday, Ben and I, along with 30ish other people helped out and made apple cider. It was a super fun afternoon filled with chopping, grinding, smooching thousands of apples. We made over 150 gallons! The cider is delicious, we just have to make sure we don't drink too much!

...was super duper fun! We took a crew of 20 High Schoolers to SunRiver last weekend and had a blast. Card games, video games, guitar hero, movies, food, coffee, hot tubing, bike riding, exploring, testimonies, staying up late, getting up early...it was a fantastic weekend!

Early Wednesday morning, Ben and a crew of friends headed up to Meadows for a pre-season adventure. Clear skies and deep pow warmly welcomed the crew into the new winter season! I have to admit, that I was a bit jealous. It's the first time in 5 years that Ben and I haven't gotten our first season turns together. Luckily, being married, when either one of us gets the goods, we are also gettin' it

Yahoo! Winter is here (Ben went touring up at Meadows yesterday morning)! We are excited to explore the backcountry more so Ben, I and Mike went in on a snowmobile together. Our idea is to use it as a tool to access the backcountry without having to touring in on 8miles of logging road. We are excited!

Nhu, Me, Ben Saturday night, Ben and I had the privilege to attend a Remember Nhu banquet with friends from church. The evening began with traditional Thai drumming performances (you could feel the beats in your chest!) along with traditional Thai dancing. It was all very wonderful! However, after dinner, things changed.... Nearly 2 million children a year are trafficked world wide. The sex

I've been trying to restraint my nesting desires but to no avail I think the next free evening I have, I'm going to succumb and finish decorating our apartment. We've been living in a rental for the past 10months and it looks like we are going to stay awhile, well at least I think so because Ben wants to build a pump track in my garden this fall and that would be like me, wanting to decorate our

My sister Rachel is amazing! It was her birthday last week and unfortunately it got over shadowed by her best friend from childhood, our cousin Stacies' passing (see post from last week). Their birthdays were one day apart, so it's been a difficult time for our family but God has been persistent with his mercy and grace.  I wanted to give Rachel a belated birthday shout out...HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I know it's not a surprise, but Ben, Mike and I, along with a crew of friends from Hood River, rented a condo last week up in Whistler, for Ben's 30th Birthday. Boy did we have a blast! We took Mike's truck and packed it with our gear. Ben and Mike brought 3 bikes each and I had 2, we had to bring our quiver!Here are a few of us before riding. It rained the whole weekend and the trails were muddy

So it's been awhile since I last posted, sorry about that. The broken collarbone took a lot out of me, I wasn't too excited about anything for awhile, just focused on healing. But now I'm back in the game, well at least for today....so here is a catch-up blog of all of what we have been up to this summer! Before I broke my collarbone, I got a new downhill bike...a Transition Blindside. It's a

So my beautiful friend Sarah Rainwater got married this weekend to a pretty cool dude named Jon! It was a great celebration at Robinswood Park. We had a blast seeing our friends from college, dancing, drinking and laughing. Congrats Sarah and Jon. Ben and I drove up from the Hood and picked my friend Kelly up in Vancouver. We had a great road trip up that started with...... Crepes for breakfast

Well I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! It's was beautiful on Saturday, the warm sun felt so good on our skin, unfortunately the rain set in (again) on Sunday. I'm fearful the rain is going to wash away my garden! Augh.  Being house bound, I spent some time surfing the web and came across some women's shoes that I helped do concept design for last winter while I was freelancing with

My garden is growing! Hopefully with all of this rain we are having, it won't drown out my plants! Below is one of the beds with bush beans (which my landlord, who is a master gardener says are way too close together, oh well!) and broccoli, eggplant and cucumbers in the back. Below is the second bed with tons of lettucce, onions, beets, radishes and carrots. It's so exciting to watch our garden

Yahoo for the SuperD race.....I won! And I won only by the strength of God, cause I had a gnarly sinus infection! I really wanted to race so on Friday I took every possible medicine out there, natural and man-made for sinus infections and I drank a gallon of orange juice and airborn. My tummy was super grumpy Saturday but by the time the race came around on Sunday, I had just enough energy to get

First day of trying to blog everyday (minus weekends) and I'm home sick with a sneak attack from my allergies! Of course.Well not exactly a sneak attack, they started to pounce on me Tuesday morning and I tried to ignore them all day yesterday but unfortunately I woke this morning super run-down, itchy sore throat, watering eyes, gnarly headache.....so I'm taking the day off to sleep and recover.

So I have an idea about this blog. Well actually, I have a lot of ideas about what I want to do with this blog, but considering that I am learning about how there isn't much time in the day to do everything you want, I'm only going to go forward with my one idea about this blog....that is....I want to blog more! And more I mean, a lot more. I read a lot of other people's blogs and I'm like "hey

Yahoo, we made it! It's been one year since we've moved to Hood River! We haven't had much time to reflect upon this milestone cause we've been super busy with leading high school small groups, helping at high school youth group, hanging with friends, mt biking, snowboarding, road biking, working, planting a garden, reading, building bikes, attending weddings.....it's been a great last year!

My garden is growing! S l o w ly It's so exciting to come home and see what has sprouted! It's amazing to me that these tiny little seeds are going to produce an abundant amount of fruit and veggies! I'm so excited! I really that like wearing gloves while working in the garden, I just can't feel or experience the dirt. I like getting my hands dirty and working hard! Here are 2 of our beds. The

So 2 weekends ago, Ben and I were blessed with a visit from our Bellingham friends. Garrett, Bridget, Lacy, BJ, Dave, Ali and Earl. We had a great time mountain biking in the mud everyday, Beer Shmeering, relaxing, BBQing and just enjoying each other's company. Here are a few shots from this weekend. We were able to get our picnic table up onto our porch! Many hands make light work! Getting

So we (or maybe I should say "I" cause Ben said he would rather be digging in the dirt building mountain bike trails than digging in the garden...insert a smile here) started a garden! We have an amazing spot for a garden right out in front of our place. I've been devouring gardening books and asking everyone I know for gardening advice, which I've learned is very much opinionated. So after much

  Well Jennifer and I are comfortably settled into our new home in Hood River Oregon.  Since we feel at home, we decided that it is now time to go play, so that's exactly what we have been doing. From the after work bike rides at Post Canyon (just a short 18 minute ride from our house to amazing trails) or hiking in the many waterfall abundant trails in the Columbia Gorge, to ski touring

A quick update... In the last 14 days, Snowbird has received more than 176 inches of POW!  For those of you who do not know what POW! is, let me explain.  It is the kind of snow that is so deep, so bottomless, and so amazing that it can only be described by a word that is a noun and an adjective.  It can be summed up by the sensation of floating or flying at speed and only being able to see half

So it's been quite warm here in Salt Lake this week, tshirts and flip-flops, however Ben says that a snow storm is on its way!  Today, after I finished watching the movie Mists of Avalon (the book was way better!) I decided to make an apron. I dug through my collection of material scraps and stumbled upon a 1970's floral curtain that my Grandma Culhane made and a yellow pillow case. Paired with

Last Sunday afternoon, Ben and were invited along with Bj, Lacy and Bj's sister Molly to Antelope Island. It was a beautiful and relatively warm March day and the views were spectacular! There was a farm at the South end of the island. Here is Bj roping Ben, totally embarrassing Lacy. It was a fun trip!

A few weeks ago, our friends Ron and Linda reserved the Mill Creek Yurt and were unable to make it so they graciously gave it to Ben and I. We invited all of our friends but unfortunately, being a thursday night only a few could good, Sam and Persphone (I am so sorry, she has a beautiful name but  I have no idea how to spell it! forgive me!) We all meet after work, started skinning up at sunset,

In college, I loved to dottle (still do) and totally by accident one day, I probably wasn't paying attention to my Biology prof, I dottled some humble monsters. I've been drawing them ever since. My friend Lacy is a children's ER nurse and had a pair of white dansko shoes that she wanted me to draw on. I was inspired by her stories of brave little children that she encounters at the ER and

He was surrounded by his family, my mother Diane, my aunt Kathy, my uncle Bob and my Grandma and died peacefully in his bed. Ben and I flew out midweek to Tucson where we enjoyed the company of my family, our time was filled with laughter, tears and telling stories about Grandpa. Under the circumstances, it was a great time to be with
