Will I accept that March is over? Yes.
Will I miss the hell out of it? You bet.
Was it glorious? Take a look for yourself.
The pride.
The pencil.
The field goal.
The...finale.
Here's to you March, here's to you.

In Search Of Winter
Coming back from the Austral Summer, Riley and I have been looking for our missed winter experience in every opportunity we come across.
This past weekend was our most valiant, and might I add successful, effort. We went winter camping! Although there was much skepticism from our NOLS friends, who inquired why anyone would do that if they were not receiving a check at the end of it, we went out for two nights and had a blast.
This has been a tradition for Riley and his family friends, the Wellers', since the early 2000's when they invited him out the first time. We were lucky enough to add a few more to the group this year, including myself, my father, Riley's father (2nd time out), some college/Lander friends of Riley and Jordie's, Tatonka, and visits on Saturday from Diane and Dawna Hopeman. What fun!
A visual representation of the three days...
About half of the time it was dark.
Most of the time it snowed.
All of the time it was fun!

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend!

Just Try To Touch It, I Dare Ya.
Fifteen days in and Caitlin appears to be giving me a run for my money.

Maiden Voyage
We journeyed back to Lander today.
On the way, we stopped by the grand to get some key photos on a blue bird teton day...like this one!
Afterwards, we continued toward Lander, but not without a couple hour detour...
Riley took me up Togwotee!
Luckily, my brother, Will, gave me the scoop on how to get the best ski photos. The key is in the hockey stop.
We have finally completed the homecoming. Great to see you Wyoming!

Double Time
Caitlin and I did a double ski day today in Ketchum, Idaho. Talk about spectacular!
We started our day by skinning up 3,000 feet to the summit of Bald Mountain, the top of Sun Valley Resort. The Sawtooth Mountains are the range in the far background.
After a delicious lunch, we deemed it necessary to entertain our Nordic inklings. While unfortunately darker than planned, here's Caitlin on the move...
The last time I found myself on a pair of Nordic skis was nearly a year ago, when I bonked horribly during the Equinox Ski Challenge. Yet, with each consecutive glide down the trail, I was continuously reminded of why I've come to put this sport on such a high pedestal.
More ski adventures to come soon!

Birthday Boy!
Yesterday was Riley's Birthday!
Happy 29th!
Can you believe that he has been around for that long? We are so lucky!
Here is a little insight into what the big day held...
We went out to breakfast at the Kneed and Feed restaurant in Coupeville, WA. This place is amazing. Also, it happens to be where the world's best cinnamon rolls are served!
The rest of the day was spent with some R&R, heading back to Seattle from Whidbey Island, swimming at STC, having a delicious dinner with my parents, and the finale...
Cupcake Royale!
Delicious!
Happy Birthday Riley!
