steelhead fishing

This weekend Mikel went steelhead fishing in Shoup, ID with Lucas and Lucas' neighbor. He was prepared for a cold weekend but was lucky enough to have beautiful weather (especially for the end of October)!

It was a slow weekend for fishing but it was great to get away!

weekly happenings

A couple pictures from our busy week:
a dark picture but there were a bunch of deer in a field as we were leaving a team dinner

beautiful tree on the golf course

this board usually has the upcoming games but there's too much to list so it just says busy 
It's going to be a couple crazy weeks as the volleyball season finishes up. We have three more regular season games at home and then the conference tournament November 11-12 in Helena. I can't believe our first is season almost over!

loooong weekend

This weekend I spent a looong weekend on the road with the team. We played at Lewis-Clark State in Lewiston, ID on Thursday and the Westminster College in Salt Lake City on Saturday. That means lots of movies, sleeping, and crafts on the 10 hour bus ride in between.

Mikel didn't travel with us this time because our friends were getting married in Pocatello so we split forces.

Our first night we stayed in Moscow, ID and I got a suite (with a complimentary fruit basket)...
addressed to Coach Lisa Griffiths.... I'm kind of a big deal

there were as many TVs in this room as there are in my house

the two bathrooms were overkill but the bed was comfortable
 I got to see Jenny (the maid of honor from our wedding) in Moscow since she lives right down the road in Pullman. It was great to have time to catch up!

From there we traveled down to Lewiston.

 After our match in Salt Lake, we all went to the Jason Aldean concert at the Maverik Center in Salt Lake. The team did the research and bought their own tickets and it was so much fun! Thompson Square and Chris Young opened and the whole thing was great!


Overall it was a great weekend and besides Jenny, I also got to see Lois (my roommate from Pocatello) in Salt Lake and Marisa (Mikel's sister) before the concert. My team didn't know I had that many friends!

Mikel said the wedding was beautiful but he doesn't quite take as many pictures as I do so I'll have to take his word for it!

too good

This was too good not to share!
We were at the store and Halloween costumes are out again. You know we're suckers for costumes!
