Caminar a Bahia


With Austin now off serving on his mission, I have started a new walking journey which will take place over the course of the two years that he is serving in Bahia Blanca, Argentina. I will be walking the distance from Seattle to Bahia Blanca during that time. The total distance is 7,020 miles. I have found that this goal helps bond me to my kids and lets them know that I am thinking and praying for them every day as we each work toward fulfilling our respective missions. This will be almost ten miles per day, and it seems crazy, but I know I can pull it off because I did it before on the #walktoprague during Autumn's mission in the Czech Republic. Since Austin left on 6/18, I have now walked over 100 miles in the last 11 days. I am adding this mileage onto the total miles that I have walked since Autumn left in July of 2016. Total miles since then is now at 8,786. With 7,924 remaining for my #ToddlingAroundTheWorld goal, the walk to Argentina will bring me almost all of the way home! Hard to believe I have been doing this for almost three years now. Only two more years (103 weeks now) to go! I got a bracelet with the Argentine flag on it (Austin has a matching one :)) that I am wearing during the walks to let Austin know that I will always be with him on the #walktoBahia

Nosh N Walk: Week 49

#millersnoshnwalk week 49: We had the pleasure of hanging out with the Scurvy Dogs Book Club on the last day of the month. We had some trouble getting the gang together this month, but squeaked by on 2/28 to keep our streak alive! Going into our 11th year of the book club, we have met every month and have now read 129 books. This past month we read The Lincoln Highway, by Amor Towles, it was a good read. We met up at BBQ Pete’s and had some fantastic BBQ and invited the Scurvy Wives. I had a prime rib dip sandwich and LeAnn had the ‘Sandwich with No Name’ - sliced brisket, cheese and crispy onion straws. They even had free soft serve ice cream cones! So good.

Missionary Marathons: Sister Dummer

While on my Journey to complete walking 24,901 miles of #ToddlingAroundTheEquator, I am focusing these walks on the amazing missionaries that I know that are serving around the world. I am dedicating walking a marathon of miles for these missionaries and tag them as #missionarymarathons. I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This week I have walked 26.2 miles for Sister Dummer, who is serving in our Ward. We have had the privilege of having her over to our house for lessons and for dinner. It has been great to get to know her and see her beautiful smile and the love she has for the Gospel. She has been in the mission now for almost a month, and I can tell she is going to help change so many lives for the better as a missionary! Here is a bit more about Sister Dummer, so you can get to know more about her and why she is so special: She is from Layton, UT And loves Running, hiking, swimming, baking, being with f...

I am so grateful to these faithful missionaries for dedicating their lives to teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! These past few weeks I have walked 150.4 miles for Elder Brendan Murphy, who is my nephew. (Gotta go a few extra marathons for my family!) I decided to walk the distance between the first two Cities he has served in in Finland, Turku and Lahti. Brendan is a special man, with a beautiful smile. He is intelligent, kind and thoughtful. It has been a privilege to watch him grow up and become such a man who is now serving the Lord with all his heart, might, mind and strength. It is an honor to be his uncle. Here is a bit more about Elder Murphy, so you can get to know more about him and why h...
