Miller Marathon #4

Finished my fourth #millermarathon last night, while walking from Rexburg toward the #majesticfamilyreunion in Sandy, Utah. 105.1 miles down, 122 to go! This one is dedicated to my little big brother , Brian Miller Yes, that wasn’t a typo. My little brother is bigger than me. It was always a tough pill to swallow as he started creeping past me Height-wise, and I couldn’t even cheat by standing on my tiptoes, cause he still beat me. He is now 6’6”, so I forever have to look up to him. 🙂. One of our favorite stories that Brian tells is when he went into a Wendy’s and ordered a large frosty. As the girl brought it out to him, he exclaimed: ‘That’s alotta Frosty!’ To which she replied: ‘You alotta man!’ Haha Just 18 months apart, we did quite a bit together when we were younger while running around Mt. Majestic Drive. I remember riding our Big wheels down the hill and Brian crashing into a parked car. We played soccer and basketball together, ran around in the fields above and on the golf course, and sledded down the hills in the winter. One day, we decided to play croquet. In the house. Bad idea. Brian hit one of the croquet balls through the sliding glass door. We shared a room with a bunk bed for many years. Brian has been a great brother to me. He has grown into a incredibly dedicated husband and father, with a wonderful wife and amazing children. He is a great example to me of enduring faith and hard work. He has been such a fun uncle to my children and our family and all who know him, come to love him. He is a great brother and a great man. I love you Brian! Please enjoy one of our #awkwardfamilyphotos 🙂 #toddlingaroundtheworld

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! 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...
