This past weekend we headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to check out the magnificent Teton mountain range. It’s still about a six hour drive from Billings, but we figured that was a heck of a lot closer than making the trip to Wyoming from Oklahoma! We left after work on Friday and didn’t arrive until […]

Although every week in Montana has been full of adventures, this is the week we have been looking forward to the most. My family traveled up from San Antonio for a visit and to explore Yellowstone National Park with us! We stayed outside the park in a cabin on the Yellowstone River between Livingston and […]

While it’s tough to top our action-packed first week in Montana, our second week here will go down as a memorable one as well. We are beginning to feel settled now….at least as settled as you can be while living 1,240 miles from your own bed. During the week, we don’t get to explore much […]

Where did we leave off? Oh yeah, we finally made it to Montana! Behold, Billings: This is our home for six weeks while Jason completes his internship. Seeing as how we had never laid eyes on the “Magic City” before arriving here, we quickly had to brush up on our Billings trivia. For example, did […]

Ménage à Trois California Red Wine I rarely meet a wine I don’t enjoy, but this one is muy delicioso. It’s a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon that costs around $10-ish dollars, which means […]

Happy Earth Day! Hopefully you’ve been able to get outside and enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature this weekend. The hubs has unfortunately been cooped up in the library studying for finals, but I’ve spent the entire weekend working in the garden and entertaining the dogs with long walks. I’m ready for his exams to […]

The weather has been so nice lately and I’ve been spending every chance I get outside working in the garden, thus the lack of frequent blog posts. Over the past week I’ve transplanted some daisies and irises that were getting too big, added a few drought-tolerant perennials, and put down 16 bags of mulch in […]

You know what one of my very favorite things about spring and summer is? Shopping for fresh produce at the farmers’ market! Call me a weirdo, but it’s seriously more exciting than a trip to the candy store for me. I’m so thrilled that our local farmers’ market opens for the season in a couple […]
