The Christensen Connection
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011/05/we-recently-returned-from-wonderful.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. We recently returned from a wonderful trip to Seattle. We went to visit family. And to attend the wedding of one of my favorite people: Kaela! We had such a wonderful time. We were able to celebrate Ben's birthday (Rob's brother) as well as Mother's Day with the family. On the days everyone was working we took advantage of the opportunity to see some of the city. Here we are at the troll under the Aurora Bridge. We also went to Pike Place Market and had some yummy seafood. 1 way to ...

The Christensen Connection: A Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011/03/rendezvous-in-old-nauvoo.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. A Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo. This week was spring break and instead of taking a huge vacation, Rob and I decided to take a little trip to Nauvoo! We had such a wonderful time. Though I lived in Illinois for a few years as a kid, it had been so long since I had been to Nauvoo, I wanted to go back and experience all the changes and see the temple. Rob had never been before. It was the PERFECT time to go. The weather was pleasant and there was hardly anyone there! What a fun memory.

The Christensen Connection: Home at Last
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011/03/home-at-last.html
Friday, March 18, 2011. Rob is finally home. He came home Saturday morning, March 12. For those of you who have never experienced a redeployment ceremony, here is what happens. First, they change the time of their arrival a million times the week they are to come home. The final change occurred the night before Rob came home. Then they gather all the families in this big room with bleachers. Meanwhile, the soldiers are all at another location on post in-processing and stuff. Then we wait and wait and wait.

The Christensen Connection: Birthday Bliss
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011/04/birthday-bliss.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. Not only was my birthday last week, but it was my FIRST birthday that Rob and I have EVER spent together since we've known one another. Last year he was in Iraq and the year before he was in Afghanistan. If you know me, you know that birthdays are the BEST! No holiday is better than YOUR birthday because it is all yours and (hopefully) you don't have to share it with anyone! In coordination with my goal. It was a great birthday and I enjoyed every minute of it! So excited for your ...

The Christensen Connection: Must Try Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011/05/must-try-recipe-bacon-wrapped-green.html
Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Must Try Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles. I was excited to make this recipe. I figured it would be good, but I didn't expect it to be mouth-watering-I-want-to-eat-this-forever good. It surely was. Other than the green beans, there is nothing at all healthy about it, but it makes eating your greens delightful! And it is fun to make. Here is the recipe which I found from Our Best Bites. Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles. 1 lb green beans with the ends snapped off. I am happ...

The Christensen Connection: June 2011
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2011. Rob and I like to experiment with various cuisines with some friends of ours, Geoff and Jessica Bokish (and their new baby Abigail). So far we've had Greek Night and Mexican Night. It is super fun to attempt a new recipe with ingredients you aren't even sure you can get here in Kansas. So far we've always had success and everything has tasted so yummy. Here is all the food (keeping in mind I am NO food photographer), from Left to Right. Here I am grilling the kebabs! It was quit...

The Christensen Connection: September 2011
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 11, 2011. Rob, me and our friend Geoff all ran the Speedy PD here in Manhattan, Kansas! It was both mine and Geoff's first race ever! I made Rob run the whole thing with me, which was very hard for him seeing that Geoff would definitely beat him! But it was a blast. In this first picture Rob, Geoff and I are about to start. I'll never start at the front again - I was passed way too much! Here we are running in! My time was 36 mins. Not at all good, but I will only improve from here!

The Christensen Connection: Tough Mudder!!
http://robkatfamily.blogspot.com/2011/06/tough-mudder.html
Sunday, June 26, 2011. Yesterday Rob participated in Tough Mudder. In Colorado. Tough Mudder is a 10 mile challenge course that is not for the faint or weak of heart. This isn't your average run, it is no Warrior Dash - it is worse. Starting at 8,100 feet and climbing to 11,440 feet, if the high altitude doesn't stop you, the 25 obstacles might. Here are a few of the 25 obstacles:. Mount Everest: A 15 foot high quarter pipe greased with oil. This is the event I watched the most - and most needed help...
