In the land of
I did a 10-mile run with a friend who lives over by the capitol and we started the route from her home…
The Mormon House
Early last night I was in the car with the girls when we drove by this, and Marlo starting screaming, “It’s de CAHP-EEE-TOLE! It’s de CAHP-EEE-TOLE!” I confirmed that it was indeed the capitol and proud that she could distinguish it from the temple. An…
I live here
I ran this photo through the desktop version of Snapseed (an application I normally only use on my phone) to try and get a vintage postcard look. I wanted the feel of something you’d come across in a box of your mother’s old belongings: old notes and letters and postcards from that time she visited [...]

The beginning of a thrilling suburban weekend
My mother volunteered to take Leta Friday night and keep her through the following afternoon so that Jon and I could have an evening out and go snowboarding. This happens somewhat frequently, and it is at the top of the list of reasons that we love living here. I get asked that a lot, how [...]
The polar ice caps aren’t melting, they’re just relocating here
