A Beach of Our Own
May 14, 2018 Got my toes near the water, butt in the sand Not a worry in the world, a cold Coke in my hand Life is good today Life is good today. ~Zac Brown Band Ok. So I changed a few of the lyrics but now they really work…and it pretty much sums up […]
Little Boys Grow Up
May 8, 2018 One minute he’s clinging to my legs as if a tornado may come and snatch him up at a moments notice and the next minute he’s averting eye contact and telling me to go away. OK, maybe it wasn’t a minute but sometimes it sure feels like it. I signed Liam up […]
Where Oh Where Have the Dietrich’s Gone?
October 3, 2017 Its been two months since I last wrote! Bozeman is quickly becoming home and life is getting a little busier. It’s hard to believe that Matt has lived here for almost an entire year now and Liam and I have been here for just over six months! Time certainly does fly. So […]
You Don’t Need AC When It’s 20 Degrees
July 19, 2017 Thick, heavy comforters. Warm, cozy blankets. A single sheet and one, thin blanket. Matt and I were not created to sleep in the same bed. We have found our happy middle by folding the warm, cozy blanket in half and laying it only on my side. Bonus: I now have an extra […]
Fourth of July
July 16, 2017 Our first of many holidays here in Montana. For the past few years we’ve spent the Fourth of July with our best friends back home. By a pool or on the lake, Ben and Jen were guaranteed to be decked out in complete red, white and blue. This year we both had […]
Eating in the Streets
July 11, 2017 Yes, it has been a while since I’ve written. And I can make every excuse but it all boils down to having a toddler and friends. And both are blessings so I can not complain. So back to something I had started a while back and maybe I can get everyone caught […]
Ducks and Doughnuts
May 29, 2017 Krispy Kreme or Duncan Donuts. That is a big debate in the South. Along with Coke vs Pepsi, Duke vs Carolina, Heinz vs Hunts, eastern BBQ vs western BBQ. Do Southerners get along about anything? It can be an all-out brawl sometimes! I absolutely hate my Facebook newsfeed anytime there is a […]
Carribean, Montana
Clear, blue waters. White, sandy beaches. Lots of warm sunshine. And preferably wearing a bathing suit. That is my definition of paradise. Who knew that you could find the clear, blue waters in the middle of nowhere Montana?! Now that winter is over, we have found that camping is the activity of almost all weekends. […]
Snow Day Cooking
May 17, 2017. Bozeman, MT. It snowed ALL day. Big, fat, gorgeous flakes. All. Day. Liam and I headed out before the snow got too crazy and went to the Children’s Museum here in town and was pleasantly surprised with some of the activities for him to do. It will definitely be well visited by […]
Off to the Water Park!
May 17, 2017 Snow. Fields. Cows. More snow. More fields. That is the vision I believe almost all of my friends in North Carolina had when I told them we were moving to Montana. I think most everyone had visions of me being surrounded by acres and acres of land (with snow) with no signs of […]
