Because Mama Needs A Hobby. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Life is a Whirlwind. The past month has been crazy.

We went camping one last time. Weekend which gave us the chilling (see what I did there? Reminder that fall is coming. Dadd-O has been training. I joined a book club. Reading more (at all? Harrison's pre-school...

Monday, April 21, 2014. Marathoners, 50K-ers, and double marathoners. / Gorgeous single-track. / Inches of slippery mud. I finished my 50K and I feel so proud. The race wasn't without challenges but overall I am happy with how I felt and with how my body performed over those 31 trail miles. One of my toenails might disagree, though. Nope The Apple weather app was totally wrong. It drizzled and then dumped rain until well after 9AM. Muddy trails and the Colorado River. She also said that she has done a ha...

I am feeling a bit panicky as this is my last official weekend before I embark on a three-year, year-round journey to complete my Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner program in Mental Health. I am about to be a student again! And after an almost 8-year break from reading and studying and powerpoint-making, I feel as though it will be a major shock to my system. We all know how already spread thin. What are your plans? Wednesday - Rest day! Take a d...

Bionic Briana: Struggles.
http://www.bionicbriana.com/2015/05/struggles.html
Thursday, May 7, 2015. The Colorado National Monument. Fruita, CO. A few weeks ago Lee and Alice took a trip to Canada without me. A limited span of days off from work and an $800 plane ticket were major factors in why I didn't go but there was also something else: I was in desperate need of some time alone. Burned out. Deflated. Threadbare. Because frankly right now, I really don't. Not surprisingly, Lee and I have decided those are. The days that I will be the primary caretaker. Even those additional 6...

Thursday, April 9, 2015. March 22nd, 2015. Dear Love Bug,. You are now three years old! We had your third birthday party at one of your favorite places, the Tracy Aviary. Daddy made your birthday invitations and did all the planning and we were both shocked when 14 kids and over 20 adults RSVP'd yes to your party!

Bionic Briana: Life updates.
http://www.bionicbriana.com/2015/04/life-updates.html
Thursday, April 9, 2015. Salt Lake City's new Public Safety Building. I'm embarrassed at how completely I've abandoned blogging. What was once something I did almost daily has become even less than an afterthought. So many things have happened over the last few weeks that it would be remiss of me not to document these important life milestones. Please bear with me as I try to give you an update. But cars are durable! And she is slowly learning to be respectful of our newest family member. It does sound l...
