A surrey is a four-person bike. I'm hanging off the front of this one, taking Matt, Allie, and Sarah's picture, but I was pedalling just a moment earlier, honest.

I thought my search and rescue team was going to be deployed to aid the relief effort along the gulf coast, so Sarah and I celebrated our anniversary a week early. This is us toasting with the bottle of wine we brought back from our Baja honeymoon.

Jeff and I have one day off a week together- when we aren't grocery shopping, painting the kitchen or running errands- we explore some of our neighboring public lands. These are some of the recent photos that we've taken on our adventures-all within an hours drive of Flagstaff - plus hiking time.

Deb Hankens invited me to Switzerland as her support system and assistant brain for a little over a week - leading up to Ironman Switzerland. Not the average mother-in-law. We spent an amazing 8 days there, the first couple were a little fuzzy- the 9 hour time change was rough. For those that don't know, this was Deb's fourth Ironman, a triathalon that consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run. Not my kind of race. But to see Deb and a thousand other people compete and complete was truly amazing.
