Now that we’ve had little Jackson for about a week I figured I should post some more photos and info about how things are going. Jack is doing really well and seems to be settling into our home quite nicely. We don’t have much in the way of a routine or a schedule yet, but …

Meet Jackson!
It’s official – Alex and I are puppy parents once again. We welcomed our newest four legged furry friend into our home and our hearts on Sunday. Jackson is a 7.5 week old Golden Retriever who we got from a breeder in Salem, Oregon. We named our puppy after Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. So far, …
First Wedding Anniversary
It is hard to believe it has already been a year since our wedding! Alex and I talk often of the memories we have from the wedding and our whole celebration. What we remember most of all is how much fun we had. It has been really fun to look back through photos from …
Big changes coming
So far 27 has been full of big news that means big changes for our little household. Alex and I have been patiently waiting to hear if one of the three dog breeders we’ve been in contact with will be providing us with a new puppy this spring or not. We heard last Friday that …
Birthday Weekend
What a fun weekend we had! The weather was fantastic. perfect. unbeatable. unbelievable. amazing. did I say perfect? Sunday the high was 68. Saturday the high was 68. Both days were gorgeously sunny with not a cloud to be found; it was icing on my birthday cake! Our weekend started on Friday, which was absolutely …

For several years now, Alex and I have been trying to convince my dad to come out and ski with us. We really wanted to show him around Crystal Mountain, where we do most of our skiing, and prove that it stacks up quite well against his favorite place, Jackson Hole. So finally my dad …
Happy 2nd Birthday Henry & Oliver!

Quick Trip to Minnesota
I’m not sure how I am filling up my time so well now that I have an excess, but it makes me wonder how I packed in so much before. Needless to say, the Allens have been quite busy lately! Last week was full and fun! We went night skiing on Wednesday after Alex finished …
What’s Next?
This has been a week of significant loss. We lost our puppy, my grandmother, and now, basically my job (my hours were significantly reduced, which means I am in the market for a new job). I am determined to move on from the difficult week and turn things around for the better. My roller coaster …
Another Goodbye
This morning my grandmother, Mor Mor, crossed over the rainbow bridge after living a very long and full life. She is now peacefully resting, hopefully reunited with her loves in some capacity. For many years now she has told us all candidly that she has been ready to cross over the rainbow bridge. Now that …
