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...

Katie's Visit

Since I've been working since Katie left, here is an update on our visit together. We went to Yosemite, saw WILD black bear (Kate has pics); we travelled over the Sonora Pass in the Sierras (at a whopping 9624 feet elevation), my brakes started smoking on the way back down and we had to pull over and let them cool off. (I wasn't the only one though!)We saw an old ghost town that was absolutely one of the coolest things I've ever seen. We laid out, I got a sunburn - and we just had a lot of fun. I'm missing her now, BUT - I have 5 friends flying in from Louisville today and I'm off for 6 days. And I only have one week of work left! Yippee! More updates to come.
