Really the title should be “Blood Sugar”, but putting the word ‘blood’ in the subject line just seemed a bit over the top. So speaking of “over the top”… my blood sugar was NOT over the top, the lab results actually showed that it looked pretty good! (translation: no gestational diabetes) (yeah, i didn’t think […]

Our first week in Jackson, at NTBI, there were few students around- only married couples and families like ourselves, some staff, and later in the week the returning students who are this year’s student leaders. So it was pretty quiet in the building. But much too hot- 90 degree weather with no A/C! (But as […]

The weary travelers arrived in Jackson, MI Monday around lunchtime. Soooo happy to be done traveling, but almost too tired to know the difference. 🙂 As you can see from the pictures, Naya was thrilled!! (haha, she actually was quite excited, and quickly made friends with the many neighboring toddlers! they have the married students […]

Yesterday we drove from Alexandria, MN to Portage, WI (by Madison). We stayed at the Days Inn, where we enjoyed splashing a bit in the pool with Naya before getting a good night’s sleep. That was our last long drive! Woohoo! Interestingly, I had the first good night’s sleep that I have had in almost […]

A gloriously short drive today- 109 miles!! That left us VERY thankful and happy! Yesterday was lots of fun. Laurie came over and joined us all for a nice breakfast, followed by a couple hours of wonderful conversation. After Naya’s pre-lunch nap, and a lovely lunch, Diana brought Rebecca and Lydia over, who joined us […]

If anything could have gone “wrong” today, it did!!! Today’s drive will definitely go down as forgettable. ha! We got a good night’s sleep in our KOA Kabin last night (those little cabins are SO cute by the way…), and rolled out around 9am (our intention was 8am, but we know how those things go […]

12 hours in the car is just too much. it really is… 🙂 But we made it! We left Jackson, WY at 7.30am, and drove through Grand Teton Nt’l Park and the southern/eastern roads of Yellowstone Nt’l Park. Both are very beautiful. we DID see a moose- but we didn’t get a picture. we enjoyed […]

On Friday mid-morning, after getting a chip in the brand new windshield repaired, we drove out of Twin Falls, ID toward Pocatello, ID. In Pocatello, we enjoyed an hour and a half at the Ross Park Aquatic Center (little water park!). The weather was just perfect, and Naya enjoyed playing in the “agua.” Then after […]

And what a long day it was! We left Prosser this morning, but not until about 9am. Along the way, Noe noticed that the car was pulling to the right quite a lot. So on our way to lunch in Baker City, OR, we stopped in La Grande, OR at Les Schwab, where they rotated […]
