Day 90

Hello!! Miss us? Pretend and say yes! :)

Summer seems to have hit us full blast the last few days in our little part of the world. I love the heat! LOVE. I just have to make sure to work out early enough before it gets too unbearable. Troy has been hitting his list of peaks like a madman and having an awesome time doing it. I keep waiting for him to have peaks that I will be able to join him on but so far they are pretty hardcore and I am...not so hardcore.

Today was kind of an odd day for me. Not necessarily bad but let's say...eye opening. Thankfully I know that regardless of what any day may bring, I am loved. A lot. That is what counts the most, right?

 Speaking of love...Gracie (Grady Grady as she is called around here) is trying to move in on my man!

Till next time,

Romy

Day 89

Troy left earlllly this morning to climb two peaks. I believe that will leave him with only 20 left out of the 100 highest peaks in Oregon to climb. Gooo baby!! If you want to know more about his trips, click the link over there >>>>>>>>>>> and check out his climbing/swimming/triathlon blog. 

Below is his backpack that he climbs with, I cannot imagine carrying that much weight while climbing so so many miles. It isn't unusual for him to come home from an overnight trip and having walked 25 PLUS miles. Obviously up hill one way. In extreme weather. Have I mentioned how amazing my husband is? Once or twice? Well, he is pretty freaking phenomenal. 

It is not even 7pm and I have already been missing him like crazy for the last few hours. I am such a wuss! We were going to make it a family trip but with three dogs, it isn't always feasible. I can't complain though because we take an awful lot of trips every month. Missing him is only a small part of what I feel while he is on these trips...I am also so very proud of him and of course I worry. Troy has been climbing mountains since he was very young and there is not a person alive that I trust more than him, and I appreciate that he never takes any unnecessary risks. I have an amazing husband.

Till next time,

Day 88

Dinner and a movie with Troy...throw in some hand holding and licorice? Perfection. Life is pretty good. 

Till next time,

We Haven't Forgotten!!

I know, I knowwww!

Troy and I have been so bad about updating the blog, sorry! We have been busy celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, Troy was on vacation and well...we fell behind.

I promise to get back into the swing of things this week. 


See you soon!

Day 87

My youngest pug, Hudson, turned 8 today. We did some of his favorite things...ran around outside.

He ate a whole lot of his favorite treat, carrots

He enjoyed a lot of birthday boy attention. 

I would say that he had a really good day, I would also say that today was like pretty much every day in their lives. They may be just a touch spoiled. Tiny bit. 

Till next time,

Romy

Day 86

What's worse than a rainy and cold weekend? Spending hours Saturday trying to fix a virus on Jeremy's brand new laptop.

Luckily, Troy was able to fix it. Yahhh!

I have been feeling so cruddy this past week and it is not doing very much for my running schedule. I am hoping to run in the Walla Walla Marathon in October and am so excited! Hopefully, if I spend the next few days resting, I will be able to get back into training this week. Fingers crossed!

I promise to be more exciting this next week. Looking over the posts, Troy is in the lead for more awesome pics. Boo. I am going to have to fix that!

Till next time,

Romy

Day 85

The morning after the storm.  I "weathered the storm" in my little REI Crysalis one person tent (lower left) and woke to a partly cloudy sky.  The decent weather didn't last long, about an hour after I snapped this shot it was snowing and blowing again.
