This blog chronicles my life as a wife, mom, dental hygienist, photographer, and smart aleck. I make my home in Washington State. My favorite things are laughing, eating good food, taking pictures, cake decorating, blogging, and serving dental missions in third world countries. I stick my foot in my mouth so often we'll go ahead and call that a favorite hobby, too. I like to think of my blog readers as friends I invite into my home. So welcome. Come on in.

Seattle-to-Portland 2009
Yep, I am home from the STP already. Here's a few quick shots...full story to follow.
Dale and I at the starting line. It was 4:30am when this photo was taken.
Here I am resting at the 125 mile marker. Can you tell I'm beat?
Get out of town! Did you do it in one day?? I thought you were doing 2??? I can't believe it. I saw that comment you left and was like, 'what the?' I was tracking you earlier this morning using your old link from last year. Wasn't sure if it was you but gave me a good idea where you might be! Can't wait to hear the story!
ummmm, jessie. i've like checked your blog probably 15-20 times today already and where is the story? did you ride the whole thing in one day? did you crash into some blackberry bushes? did you just throw up your hands half way through and decide that this was madness? did you kick dale's rear and beat him across the finish line? did your numberology actually work and you came in 1st? did you find the person with the devil's number, try to take their picture, and they kicked you in the knee tonya harding style so hard you couldn't finish the race? i'm just wondering over here. you said you'd be all dedicated to blogging today and well, it's like 1:00 your time...seems like that should be plenty of time to get your story straight and posted up for the rest of the world to read. just sayin'....
I'm just going to say I'm only slightly jealous that you look that great after riding a bike 125 miles. I would be laying on the ground covered in sweat in a semi-comatose state saying in what was left of my voice, "Water, water." Can't wait for the full story. I went through Yelm yesterday and saw some STP riders and I looked for you. I'm sure you were already passed that point though!
