Mini KY Life Adventure Update
It seems like it has rained more in 2019 in Kentucky, then it has in Washington over the last 6 years combined!

We're all about Blayke experiencing new things and learning to go with the flow when … Continue reading Mini KY Life Adventure Update
Get Outside!
"I need to get outside, by myself, to think, enjoy nature, and not worry about anyone else but myself for a little bit." Every few months, Brice tells me this and when he returns, it's like a brand new rejuvenated man!

I didn't realize the magnitude of friends we'd … Continue reading Cross Country Road Trip day 5+

But, at 2:00 am in the pitch black night … Continue reading Cross county road trip – Day 4
Cross country road trip – Day 3
If you don't believe in God, go to Yosemite. The magnitude of the rocks, valleys, and well basically everything was incredible! The only time I've ever felt that small was when I stood on the side of Mt Rainier during sunrise on a Sunday morning.
