私はそれで終わりです！

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a #toddlingaroundtheworld update. I slowed down a bit these past couple of months as my health issues have reared their ugly heads with a vengeance. Some days I have just felt too awful to get up and go. The pain usually subsides in the early afternoon, so I have been able to get out then, but it has been rough and I’ve had to really push through the pain. Given that, I have hopped back on the Toddling train more diligently this past week and have goals set to finish out the full distance of walking around the world (16,710 miles) by the end of the year! It will have taken me 5 1/2 years to complete, and as of today, I have just 337 miles left. That is 8.4 miles per day. As they say in some of the countries I have walked to: 私はそれで終わりです！jsem z toho celý ¡Ya lo superé! (I’m all over it!) I didn’t really realize what I was getting myself into when I started that short, painful walk around the block 5 1/2 years ago, but has been amazing to see what you can accomplish when you dedicate your goals to your health, your family and to yourself. Having my family’s support and their cheering me on has given me all of the incentive in the world to finish the journey. What we believe, we can achieve!

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 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...
