might be a little kink in the plans... lots of hot hot fires in glacier.
however there are reports of a cold front coming through so we should be good.

our latest trip OUT WEST
In celebration of Dave graduating from residency we are taking a trip. It was his choice so we are headed out west on a road trip, dogs included.
We leave AUGUST 1... so here is the working itinerary. And part of me is posting it just to see how long we actually stay on course and where we actually end up. Remember this trip was the trip we were going to drive to Alaska, then it was Seattle and now it's Glacier... So over several days (weeks) and lots of map work here it is...
day 1 (8.1): drive from STL to Chamberlain, South Dakota
Quote from Dave... "it's only 10.5 hours, baby. until we hit the oasis holidome in chamberlain" awesome!
day 2 (8.2): chamberlain, SD to black hills
enjoy black hills, crazy horse and mt. Rushmore
day 3 (8.3): black hills to bighorn national park, MONTANA
day 4 (8.4): bighorn to kalispell, MT (outside glacier)
day 5 (8.5): GLACIER before it melts away thanks to global warming...
drop the dogs off at www.triplerkennels.com hope for a back country pass and start our hike
day 6 - 10(8.6 - 8.10): fighting off bears, mountain goats and fires in the back country of Glacier
day 11 (8.11): head north to calgary
day 12 (8.12): banff
day 13 : leave banff
day 14: head to yellowstone
day 15: grand tetons - head to jackson hole have dinner with Meredith Malek - good friend from HS/MSU that haven't seen in YEARS... very exciting
day 16: jackson to denver
day 17: denver to STL
So we'll see where we go... and really test out our first year of marriage!
Love to all.

what are blue moments?
today in our yoga class danielle kicked our asses (yes, dave wore his headband) but in addition to that she read an awesome inspiring poem. perfect to kick-off our next adventure and an inspiration for this blog.
So here is an excerpt from the poem, hopefully i'm not infringing on any copy issues (david?)...
the gift of the blue moment from small graces by kent nerbern
"The blue moment can happen any time or any place. It is a moment when you are truly alive to the world around you. It can be a moment of love or a moment of terror. You may not know it when it happens. It may only reveal itself in memory. But if you are patient, and open your heart, the blue moment will come...Seize the moment. Hold it.Don't turn from it. It will pass and we will be as we were. But this is a blue moment, and blue moments string together like pearls to make up your life. It is up to you to find them. It is up to you to make them. It is up to you to bring them alive in others."
Thank you to Danielle for bringing alive lots of blue moments.
We have been very lucky to have many blue moments and hoping for a few more.
