A week spent on the Main Salmon River with 10 friends, 3 rafts, 4 kayaks, 1 sit on top kayak and no cell phone service or roads for 50 miles in any direction. This was probably the most mentally and physically relaxing trip I've ever had. Certainly a life experience. Weather was 90 degrees and sunny, except for 30 minutes on the last day. Can't wait to try for a permit next year!

Kayaking on the Clark Fork River, Montana

We spend a beautiful 90 degree day on the river with some friends. As you can see Brad made it through the rapid just fine, I however, decided to join the 2008 Clark Fork swim team.

Fire in Missoula

Last night this fire spread to the top of the mountain in 2 hours.

4th of July Weekend

We were fortunate enough over the 4th of July holiday to ski in Glacier National Park and visit friends on Flathead Lake. The weather was beautiful.

Good ol' Montana ranch wedding. We're at Jamie & John's wedding in Helmville.

New Brick Patio

After a back breaking weekend of moving dirt, bricks, and sand...twice...we ended up with a beautiful patio. We started on Saturday and finished after work Monday.

Mushroom Hunting

Above is Jen finding mushrooms, and all I found was Kermit.

Montana Hot Springs

While it is snowing in Montana today, Brad and I had the opportunity to visit a friend's private hot spring.

San Juan Islands

Brad and I just got back from a wedding in the San Juan Islands. Even though the weather was cold and rainy, we had a great time seeing friends. We also celebrated Brad's 32nd birthday with the perfect "Brad" meal...ribs, pulled pork, bbq chicken, & brisket all on one plate.
