Day 131 - Leavenworth

As my mom and sister Brooke, and her daughter Olivia are still in town, we decided to go to Leavenworth for a half day together. Brooke hadnt been there for a long time, so it was fun. Olivia had stayed overnight with us since she and I had gotten back late from the Snoopy train ride on Saturday. We then took her to church with us and after sacrament meeting, Jaylin and I drove her back up to Kelly's house. LeAnn couldnt go since she had a bunch of meetings for Girls Camp and Youth Conference. It was fun to see all of the Christmas decorating they had completed, (the main reason Kelly flew up Brooke and Mom) and then we headed out at around noon. It was a beautiful drive as many of the trees will still showing their autumnal foilage. I forgot how pretty that drive is down Highway 2 through Monroe to Leavenworth. It was about a two hour drive and then we were in town having lunch and going through the shops for a few hours. Headed back at 5:00 as we planned on meeting LeAnn for dinner at Kellys. She 'made' us some gourmet Costco Enchiladas. They were quite good. Only got 3.5 miles for the day, the majority of that just walking around Leavenworth. This was my lowest mileage in many months, but I would much rather sacrifice a few miles for spending time with my family.

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.

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!

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...
