This month began with Kjersti and I making a reality out of our dream and goal for the summer. As of March 5th we officially began our new journey together and look forward to what's to come.


Our first excursion was down to Ashland, Oregon where we visited Kjersti's brother Lucas and had some great days of Skiing/Boarding Mt. Ashland. This was our 'test run' for cruising in the truck. We happened to be there the weekend of the 'Dummy Downhill'. This made for some good laughs.


Upon return from Ashland, we trasitioned our bags for a trip to Minneapolis, MN. As it was my father's 60th birthday we had the opportunity to celebrate a milestone and visit with many family and friends. I think Kjersti was a little shocked at how many releatives she was able to meet but she says she had a great time.
















March 17th was when we moved into our new home. The walk-in closest may not be the standard nor the bed but we've managed to have a wonderful two weeks in our new home. From Portland to Seattle to Mt. Baker to Montana to Idaho and back to Portland the truck and our home has been a reliable means to a good time and exploration of the beautiful northwest.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and videos of the recent good times. From celbrating my dad's 60th birthday, stomping around on Randy and Jewels sheep farm to celebrating the first day of spring and life to hotspringing across MT and ID to getting the truck stuck and all the great skiing throughout....Here's a shout out and thanks for all the wonderful family and friends who we've been able to spend some time with and a special thanks to those who made my birthday weekend a blast.



Until next time...
