Surprise Lake - Day 76

Today we were planning on doing our Miller bike thriller bike ride on the mountain to sound Trail. This will be our ninth annual bike ride. We weren’t planning on going until 10 AM, so I decided I should still go get some of my walking miles in. I ended up going through Milton and around Surprise Lake and then back home so that was about 6 miles. When we went up to Preston to start the bike ride and had a nice ride with the girls. Right before we started, Austin called on Google hangouts so we got to talk with him for about 10 minutes before starting the ride. He talked about how he wished he could ride it with us, since he has done each of the other eight rides this was the first one he had missed. But we know he is in the best place in the world for him. 
Autumn was doing well until we hit the stretch where there was a gravel trail and that really jog old her head around, Which was not good for somebody that’s recovering from a concussion. So she ended up going another 5 miles or so and then getting picked up by LeAnn. I continued on with Jaylin and we had a nice ride together it’s a pretty ride cross Lake Washington and into Seattle. I’ve forgotten how many wheels they were going through Issaquah though. Actually not Issaquah more of Mercer Island. Jaylin was super tough and battled up all of the hills and set a good example for me. So even though my knees were hurting since they haven’t been riding bikes for a while I pushed through. It was a good day got a lot done I guess I even did a biathlon. Ended up with a 9.2 miles of walking For the day.

Missionary Marathons: Sister Dummer

Image
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...

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.

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! 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...
