Day 241 - Depoe Bay

Took the day off from work today. It was nice to have some extra time. I slept in past 4:30 am., which was nice. A bit later, went out on my Trout Lake loop walk. It has been a while since I have done that one. Got around 5 miles in before we packed up to head down to the Oregon coast. It took us about 6 hours instead of 4 1/2 since we hit traffic at Fort Lewis and then in Portland. We stopped at McDonalds for a bathroom break and to get some dinner. 10 piece McNuggets for Jaylin and myself. Arrived around 8:00 in Depoe Bay. So thankful to grandma and grandpa Thorne for inviting us down to the condos each year. It is great to spend time with them on the ocean and enjoy the spectacular views off of the cliffs to watch the magnificence of the waves on the Pacific. My knee has still been hurting quite a lot, so didnt walk much more after arrival. Did a short jaunt down the path next to the cliffs and back. Ended up with 7.2 miles for the day.

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 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...
