Bear 💕
my guy. the sweetest boy. the big snuggle. it wasn’t always easy for you, but love made you resilient. we had so many adventures, so many trips, so much joy - though I’ll never be convinced you liked camping. I’m so glad that even with a bum heart slowing you down you held on to meet Eva and Bella. Chessa, Nita, Brie and I already miss you so much it’s hard to finish this. we’ll keep the blankets warm for you if you ever want to visit, bring Bison if you see him.
hug your puppies for us ❤️🩹
This little babe is 6 months! So fun. So chill. Simply the best little sister we could have asked for 💕 🌈
So excited to keep exploring the world with you 💗
Posting up our first picture together to celebrate our first date 20 years ago! Babes 💕
Drinks, a living room boxing match, lost shoes, asleep on someone’s couch. Always laughs and fun adventures with you ❤️
Love you 😘
5 month pregnancy update! A little over halfway through this pregnancy and we are feeling good. From mountain tops, to gondola rides in the Netherlands, to lots of horsy time for Nita 💞 Very happy I’ve been able to run consistently up to this point, although my pelvis is getting a little loosey goosey so I think it is time to pepper in more gravel rides and BCMC hikes, as well as up the strength work 💪
Trying some new things this pregnancy to keep me moving and grooving. Purchased my first set of trail running poles 🤯 and the @levermovement to reduce some of the strain and hopefully keep me running a little longer! Let’s go!!
Bison 💞
our beautiful narrow guy took the rainbow bridge last night. he lived a beautiful life, and was a fighter till the very end. he’ll always be my little white wizard, wiggle worm, skeletor, and little prince. Chessa, Nita, and I love you Bison ❤️ and Bear and Brie will keep the blankets warm for you if you ever want to visit.
hug your puppies for us ❤️🩹
I don’t have any current race photos or plans … but this photo really captures life lately. In the midst of some life challenges that are testing my strength and resilience.
Bittersweet is the only term that seems to come close to describing it. Struggling through grief and personal challenges but also grateful for a wonderful family and support network.
But I just wanted to remind everyone (and myself) that it is OK to not be OK. I am not going to use any silly rain and rainbows metaphors … when you are in the midst of hard times, it sucks … it is hard to make tough decisions. So I am learning to be graceful to myself and to others. 💕
August of 1941 (just months before the attack on Pearl Harbor) my grandmother traveled to Honolulu to marry my grandfather. He sent her a ring in a coconut 💕
Over 80 years later I got to go visit carrying her great granddaughter in tow … ❤️🌺✨
