Nosh N Walk: 40, 41, 42

#millersnoshnwalk trifecta! - weeks 40, 41 AND 42 For week 40, we kinda had to take a shortcut. Things got crazy busy, and we were out in Sammamish at our niece’s dance competition. She did a fantastic job and we ended up going out to a late lunch with Jaylin afterwards. Where we had planned on going out to a unique local spot, we ended up going to a chain, Chipotle, which is still pretty good stuff. Burritos and Tacos and Tortilla salads, oh my! For Week 41, we met up with Kelly and Ruth in T-Town. We had all of the kids in town for Christmas, so it was a special occasion to have Autumn Miller, Austin and Jaylin with us for this outing. My mom had gotten us all tickets to see the Zoo Lights at PDZA for our ‘Christmas Experience’ present, and we met up at WildFin on the waterfront for dinner. It was fantastic. LeAnn had a bolognese with andouille and chicken, and I had a peppercorn steak. It was delicious. They have great seafood there too, but I usually take the turf over the surf. Then we capped it off by walking a couple of miles around the zoo to see the lights! Week 42, was capped off today, and we had a special treat compliments of Austin’s Christmas gift to LeAnn and I. He had made reservations for us at the Pink Door in Seattle, along with a $40 gift card. Such a thoughtful gift and we really enjoyed ourselves. We got there to find a line of six people waiting to get in at the non-descript entrance in Post Alley. There is no name of the restaurant on the building - just a Pink Door. We got in, and it was quite crowded. When we were quickly seated, thanks to our reservation, we were able to find a great variety of classic Italian dishes to choose from. We started with Garlic toast with olive oil and then LeAnn had the Gnocchi and I had lasagna. They were both sooo good. Perfect portions and delicious! The restaurant was beautiful inside and had a nice ambiance. No wonder this place is so popular. Thanks again Austin for making week 42 so special! We finished with a walk through Pikes Place an were quite surprised to see how many people were out and about!

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...

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.

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...
