Reeds Lake Run 2010
Saturday marked my 3rd Reeds Lake Run and Kevin’s 4th. The weather forecasts were calling for a 70% chance of rain for race time. When we woke up and saw that the ground was still dry, we thought maybe we’d make it. After all, the forecasts had been calling for rain all through Friday night [...]
Four Years Ago
They secured a stellar house in a walkable neighborhood. This was good. They had never really lived in a walkable neighborhood. This would change their lives. Biking and walking/running as modes of transportation became the name of the game.

Gettin’ Ready, Goin’ to the Chapel & The Waiting Game
Gettin’ Ready Ryan and Marie’s day began with overcast skies. As Ryan rechecked the weather forecast, Dad mixed up a double-batch of his special (read: DEEE-licious) homemade waffles. They were divinely yummy. After the breakfast huddle, the family dispersed to all of our scheduled activities. Ryan and Kevin departed to play disc golf with the [...]
The Day Before the Big Day
Friday evening was the rehearsal at Christ the King Lutheran Church, followed by the rehearsal dinner at Buddy’s!! We realized on the way to the church that we’d left our camera at my parents’ house. Since we were riding with them—and the ever important decorations for the church that we needed to assemble before the [...]
