Jim and I had already planned our annual ski weekend in Utah months before we knew about the Belgium trip, so two and a half days after we got home… we left again. We flew to Salt Lake City Thursday night. On Valentine’s Day, we woke up and drove to Deer Valley. And got thisContinue reading “Ski Weekend in Utah”

Belgium for Two
Sometimes I get requests from educators around the world to come speak at their events. Usually, the budget is too small or the timing doesn’t work out. But occasionally it does, and this February I got a chance to speak at an event in Belgium. I invited Jim along, and he accepted! We stayed mostlyContinue reading “Belgium for Two”
Jim Turns 40
We had a wonderful time celebrating Jim’s 40th birthday! First, we spent time in the boat – as usual. The weather was warm and we enjoyed lunch and skiing with the kids. Then we held a family party on June 2. We were supposed to have dinner out after a basketball tournament, but plans changedContinue reading “Jim Turns 40”
Hall of Famer
Jim’s high school baseball team were state champions in 1996, and they were nominated to be inducted into the local sports hall of fame this year. It was a really impressive ceremony and luncheon with about 200 people attending in support of all the individual athletes and teams who were inducted. We enjoyed going toContinue reading “Hall of Famer”
A Conference in San Diego
This trip was for Jim’s work! Jim attends an annual conference that was in San Diego this year, and a lot of the wives go along on this trip. He asked me maybe a year ago if I would join him on this one, and of course I said yes. It was five whole daysContinue reading “A Conference in San Diego”
Jim’s Birthday Surprise
Every year for his birthday, Jim asks for the same thing: skiing and floating. With his wife. 🙂 And anyone else who wants to come. So this year his birthday fell on a Monday (which he has off, and so can I) and we didn’t have baseball over the weekend. I booked a surprise tripContinue reading “Jim’s Birthday Surprise”
New bathroom!
Jim has been hard at work the last two weekends replacing the bathroom floor in our upstairs hall bathroom. Like any project, there were more steps than we’d planned but I am so happy with the results! He laid new floor, removed the random towel rack, and installed a new toilet. Next up: the laundryContinue reading “New bathroom!”
Staining the Sport Court
Ever since we had the sport court poured earlier this year, Jim has been so excited to get it stained and lined. He took the whole weekend to do all the steps and we were thankful for great weather so he could finish this up before the rain settles in. Step 1: Pressure wash onContinue reading “Staining the Sport Court”
Tri Turtle Triathlon 2017
Last year I completed my first ever triathlon at the Tri Turtle Tri, and set my goal to complete more this summer so I could finish this course in two hours or less. Since we had done other races this summer, and because I asked :), Jim agreed to stay with me for this raceContinue reading “Tri Turtle Triathlon 2017”
The Fence Project
I asked Jim in June if he could pressure wash the fence we share with our neighbor so I could stain it this summer. He came inside after doing two panels and said that we should just build a new fence. And so it began! He talked to our neighbor about it, who said thatContinue reading “The Fence Project”
