Day 251 - When a tree falls in the forest

We didnt hear from Austin until about 1:30, which was odd, since that would be 6:30 pm in Argentina. I had left work early as I had a Dr. Appointment in Federal Way at 2:00. Right as I pulled into the parking lot of the Dr. Office, he called. Happy Day! Sadly, I had an awful cell phone connection, so couldnt speak to him as he couldnt hear me, but the great thing was, I could hear him! They had played soccer as a district and that had thrown off his schedule a bit. So, where we thought we might not hear from him on this day, it turned out just fine. After the Dr. Appointment, where I discussed some of the challenges I am still having with recovering from the rectopexy surgery and told him about the pain in my left knee. His name is Dr. Wallace, and he suggested I start doing some physical therapy for my 'pelvic' region (to strengthen that area back up where I had the surgery) and also ordered some x-rays for my knee to find out if there is anything going on there. After my appointment, stopped by Hylebos Wetlands to walk the loop there. There, I ran into this downed tree, but it didnt stop me! We will see how long it takes the parks department to take care of it. :)

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 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...
