Now that Sven, Angele and I have motorcycles, we decided to participate in the biggest bike rally in Texas when it rumbled into Austin - June 11-14th. Sven and Angele rode their bikes in from Houston (Angele's first big ride - Way to go Girl!) and after some time to...

Sure, I like popcorn, but I'm not crazy about it. It's fun to have for snacks, and can hit the spot if you pop some fresh stuff at home while watching a movie. It's also a pretty and eco-friendly Christmas Tree decoration if you don't have any money, as you...

I'm excited to report that I'm 27 lbs lighter than I was last fall. Yeah for me! Even though I still want to lose at least ten more pounds, I'm liking my body right now. I feel healthy and good. I'm wondering why I didn't like my body as much...

What an excellent weekend. Sven and Angele put their motorcycles on a trailer and came to meet me in Austin. Together the three of us drove our bikes to San Antonio using the back roads. It was Angele's first long motorcycle ride and she did an incredible job. The weather...

On Mother's Day weekend I went home to Minneapolis. Its become a tradition since I've moved to Texas. It's important time with my family, and a chance to support my aunt Noreen (a six year survivor) in her battle against breast cancer, at the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer walk....

The school year is over and unfortunately so is my stint this season as coach for Girl's on the Run (GOTR). Each week with them was always full of surprises. I already miss the girls laughter, their personalities and their triumphs as they made their running goals. GOTR is more...

So now that I've done a marathon, my Tough Cookie running buddies have convinced me to try triathlons. Thinking this will get me moving, challenge me, and teach me some new things, I decided to give it a go. This is despite the fact that I'm bike challenged and although...

Owning a house there always seem to be projects that need to be done, as well as things I want to do. I have periods where I tackle house projects left and right, and then due to travel or extracurricular activities I seem to get pulled away. The last two...

Sven and Angele came to visit for the weekend, and since Angele's birthday is Monday (and Sven's is six days later) we are celebrating their birthdays. We all agree, that all birthdays should be 36-hour celebrations. So Sven made Angele's birthday super special, by surprising her with a fabulous girlie...
