As you know, we have been working on the bathroom for some time. Could it have been done faster? Yes. Several factors contributed to delays along the way: the fact that we have a 2nd bathroom that no one else was using, our life outside of DIY, and poor project planning to name a few. […]

100 Years at Grant Field
First off let me say there WAS boot camp this week, and it was impossibly difficult while being ridiculously satisfying. However there was also work this week – and it was just impossibly difficult thus resulting in limited time for the boot blog. For those of you that are curious, I have included a few […]
The Best Laid Plans…
Jes and I had all kinds of plans to use last night as an evening to prepare for the weekend. We were going to get the food situation sorted out, write our morning blog post, take the dogs on a walk to wear them out, and clean up the house a little bit. That all […]
Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 11
The day I feared the most came this morning… it was the day I did not want to get out of bed, I did not want to go to boot camp, I did not want to sweat, I did not want to work hard. I thought about it… but I never knew what I would […]
Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 10
…. yup I blacked out. But I busted out the effort on the run, and was able to keep that momentum up for about half of the work out. By the end I had NOTHING left in the tank – and that is the goal. I also experienced quite the work-out high afterward – WORTH […]
Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 9
Another great day at camp! We focused a great deal on our core today, an area I am happy to work on (and needs a bit of work). The weather this morning was PERFECT – I was chilly when we started, but as soon as the work out started, that cool air and nice breeze […]
Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 8
Popped on out of bed this morning – ready to go, and surprisingly not nervous at all. Despite the promise that this week would be harder than last. I think today’s class was the first time we had all 10 campers in attendance. Todays work out was named “The 21 Gun Salute”. My guns (bicep […]
Jes’ Boot Blog – Day 7
So sleepy – 90 minute yoga session. Great stretch.
Paralysis of Choice…
Life has an interesting way of teaching you lessons sometimes, and I am going to go ahead and say that this week has been one of those times. You will have to forgive me for what is sure to be a (hopefully brief) post steeped more in philosophy than family news, but the philosophy behind […]
Jes’ Boot-Blog – Day 6
Last night we took the dogs to the park for a 3 mile walk and it felt good to stretch our leg muscles out along the way. All of the unfamiliar exercises really do stress your muscles to the point of a sharp ache or burn when you use them. Its funny what daily actions […]
