Miller Marathon #7

Finished my seventh #millermarathon last night, while walking 227 miles from Rexburg toward the #majesticfamilyreunion in Sandy, Utah. I have now completed 183.5 miles. Now have landed somewhere just south of Pine View Reservoir, outside of Ogden, UT. This one is dedicated to my second little sister , Ashley Miller Ashley is the kindest, most thoughtful, loving and compassionate person I know. We were blessed to have her live up here in the PNW near us for 18 years. She came up on a basketball scholarship to Seattle Pacific University. She was so fun to watch. She dominated in the paint, and was called Xena, Warrior Princess, by her teammates. Not only because she looked like Xena, but because she was as fierce and powerful as a ball player. She loved our kids and they loved seeing her. She would take our young kids overnight for sleepovers and one time they even thought it would be hilarious to make a Barbie cake for my birthday. My daughter, Autumn enjoyed my incredulous reaction so much, that she continued to give me Barbie Ken dolls for my next few birthdays after that. Haha. It was so special to have Aunts nearby who cared for and loved our children just as we do. Growing up with Ashley was so fun. She was always loving baby dolls, and carried them and stuffed animals around with her wherever she went. She had a great imagination and seemed to have tea parties three times a day. She dealt with a lot since she had five older siblings to contend with, but she was always so sweet and such a peacemaker in our home. I have seen that special trait remain with her as she has grown older, and she is so friendly and caring for all those that she interacts with. Even now, she is constantly taking care of our parents, helping to watch nieces and nephews, and so generous to all with her time and talents. I love you Ashley! #toddlingaroundtheworld Total Distance: 16,710 miles Completed: 16,666 miles Remaining: 44 miles Somewhere outside of Shelton, WA!
