Day 214 - The 100th birthday bash!

Woke up at the jolted and got out to walk the mean streets of Sacramento. Was surprised at some of the areas and how dilapidated it was. It was also colder outside than you would expect in California. About 40 degrees. I was going to use the treadmill at the hotel,  it found someone else was already on it. When I got back from the two mile walk, it was open, so I did a couple more there. Saw Brian and his kids at the hotel and then Mark Hellewell’s wife, Kristen. Seems there were a bunch of family staying at the same place for grandmas birthday. 
Got to the church for the celebration at breakfast timeIt was so fun to see cousins, uncles and Aunts that we haven’t seen for years and some for decades. Therewere 125 or grandmas posterity there. We had breakfast, and then the Millers set up some games. We did the donut eating contest and Hngy Hippos with furniture carts, laundry baskets and balloons. The kids love it. We had a bunch of slide shows for grandma and had lunch and then took a break in the afternoon. We were wiped out, so after doing a bit of shopping for Jaylin, went back and took a nap at the hotel. Then back to the church for dinner and a couple more presentations around grandmas life and more visiting with family. What an awesome family this is!

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.

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...
