Yellowstone Highlights

Yellowstone Highlights

Well it’s been ages since I bothered to post on the blog… mostly because I haven’t felt like much was “happening” in our lives that was blog worthy. Now, that is in direct contradiction with this post I did when we first came home from the Tour, when I talked...
Summer Fun

Summer Fun

I realized I never gave an update on the triathlon, and so I thought while I was doing that, I would give a general update on life, Kirby and how our summer is going. So, let’s start with my FIRST Olympic distance triathlon! On May 30, Dave and I both...
Whole 30, Triathlon Training and Contentment

Whole 30, Triathlon Training and Contentment

Well, this update is a bit overdue… it’s now been 50 days since I posted on the blog! As much as I would love to post more, I am accepting the reality of the life I live, with being a full-time mom and also working part-time from home. There’s just...
Whole 30 Challenge

Whole 30 Challenge

Well, it’s April 1. Day one of my first Whole30 challenge. (And no, this is not an April Fools’ joke.) Some or even most of you may have heard of the Whole30 before… it’s a relatively restrictive diet where, for the next 30 days, I will be eating REAL food....
The Ultimate Pi Day

The Ultimate Pi Day

Every year, Dave and I celebrate our anniversary with a pie. We got married on Pi Day (March 14 = 3.14 = pi). And this year, the tradition continued with a delicious apple pie: Also, it’s worth noting that 2015 gave us the most accurate Pi Day we will have...

Three Years Ago Today

Three Years Ago Today

Last Friday, I sat down to my morning routine of writing in my journal, and as I penned the date, realized we were only three days away from the anniversary of our departure on the Tour. Well, what merits a blog post more than that? So here it is, a tribute from three years later. I...

Future Expansion of Garths on Tour

Well, we’ve made if facebook official, and thought it high time we post something on the blog about the BABY we are expecting come December! We are completely thrilled about growing our family, and are thankful for all the love and supportive words people have offered over the past few weeks and months. Obviously we’ve...
We Made the Move!

We Made the Move!

It’s been a busy month of June! At the beginning of the month, we announced our upcoming move and Dave’s job offer. After that, blogging took a backseat as we began tying up loose ends from our temporary life in Nashville, which included saying farewell to many friends, finishing up my time working at REI,...

Well everyone, we have news to share at last! Our transitional stage is finally coming to an end, and we are excited about moving into the next season of our post-tour life.

Dutch Treats: A Visit from Louis

Dutch Treats: A Visit from Louis

As I begin to write this post this evening, I am overwhelmed as I reflect on the gift of the relationships we developed on our World Tour. It truly is the best part of the traveling. I just read a few of the comments on our blog, one from our French friends who are preparing for...
