First real post!

Ok - so this is my real attempt at blogging. Not sure I'm going to have a lot to say here - even less sure that any of it will be of interest to anyone... but here goes!

I plan to use this site to talk about things going on with me, my family, and my faith. (Maybe some cooking adventures thrown in there too, just for fun!)

Let's start with the recent updates: we just returned from my third Indianapolis 500. It was SO Much fun! We were able to stay with family (thank you Cameron, Michele and Scarlett!) and spend time catching up, as well as attend Carb day and the race itself. (I have been informed that Carb day is not necessarily a day to intake a lot of "carbs" - though there is a lot of beer consumption. I guess it has to do with carbuerators. Whatever. I think my definition fits better!)


It was so hot at the track on race day - the track was 125 degrees, we weren't in the shade until the race was 1/2 way through. But it was a thrilling spectacle none the less. I look forward to this trip each year. I especially enjoy listening to my husband and his brother theorize about the drivers and make their race predictions. They are very entertaining!


Anyway - it was a great race, and superior effort by Tony Kanaan, but Dario Franchitti (aka Mr. Ashley Judd) won the race and I think he deserved it.


Now it's just back to life in Snoqualmie with Chris and our dogs. (Yes, they are named Sydney and Buddy - hence my blog name.) I'm looking forward to the longer days of summer, hoping to get some good walks in, and maybe a few BBQs with friends and family.


This is Sydney, our cockapoo:

I guess that's all for now. Until next time!
