My boyfriend and I were driving back up to his house after our wonderful vacation in Colorado. We had just attended a few weddings in Milwaukee and were ready to get back to real life for a few days together. I would be leaving for my mission trip to Grenada in a week so I was excited to spend a few days up at his church. We were driving through Green Bay. I don't remember any of that day, so all of this is what people have told me. The police were chasing afte...

I now run. One year ago today if you would have told me that I would take a weekend trip just for a race, I would have laughed pretty hard. But here I am, in the Northern Woods of Wisconsin, super excited to run a 5k. Actually more interesting is that I am saying I am excited to run only 3 miles tomorrow.

And that was the most excited part of that game! Another thing I did with the Brewers is the Sausage Race...

Ok, so I still had 1 more week of school left when we went on this. But then again, the last week of school pretty much is the start of summer vacation. Before my brother left to go to Alaska for 8 weeks we decided to take a day trip up to Door County. My parents and I go up there a few times over the course of the summer, but rarely with my brother. So it was a great surprise when he agreed to come along. Well, his girlfriend also came along. So that did he...
