The Sadness:(

Well, Christina left today... and in a rush. We woke up at 0600. I was supposed to be at work at 0700 and take Christina to the airport before I went. We - Are - Awesome. Christina made her flight and I made it to work by 0710. I won't even begin to describe what I looked like, though, or how tired I am now. . . Or how sad I am to come home to an empty place. It's been a fun summer, Christina. However, M is letting me know (in no uncertain terms) that she is not happy about the family breakup. Here is what I found when I came home tonight:


OH - and here's a pic of our last night together at the Mariners' game! You suck, Mariners! Cards fan for life!

This is why I'm falling in love with Seattle...

Success! ... and Pain.

Well, Christina and I climbed to the top of Mt Si today in North Bend, Washington. Elevation: approximately 4000 feet, total 4 miles one way. Arduous journey but definitely worth it. Enjoy the pics!

Go Mariners! and Naked Bikers?

Goodbye, family...

Quick updates: The job is going very well, the summer weather is great in Seattle and so far, it's been a fun summer. Well, for the last four weeks, Christina and I have been in very good company. Mom came out with Aiden for almost two weeks and then left two days after Chris arrived. Chris was here for 5 days when Jon arrived and today, Chris, Aiden and Jon flew out. We are very sad to see them go. It's been fun having the kiddo here:). Here are a few pics of our time together...

Visitors!

Mom and Aiden are visiting for a couple of weeks - yay! Here are a few pics of late...

A sigh of relief...

I am finally in one locale for a while. I visited Mom and Dad in Kentucky for the week (and got to see my favorite aunt!:) Elizabeth and Bryan graduated high school and Holy Name respectively - I also got to see 2 of Michael's baseball games - sweet! Both were wins! I start work next week so I am taking the opportunity to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Miss M is settling into her new place - she has a doggie door and everything! She goes out anytime she wants:) More to come...
