He is adjusting well his first day at home playing, going potty outside...not on his own prompting of course, and eating well. He going going to be a joy and so much fun!

Our weekend antics

Well Chad and I have had a lot of fun the past two weekends. Last weekend I worked until Saturday morning so of course that day is a bit of a blur but Sunday we went to our church bbq and then to the air show which Chad loved. It was neat for me but for Chad's it's an entirely different ball game. We went in planes and watched the F-22 and the Blue Angels do their tricks.




This weekend we both decided we just needed to get away and thought well camping sounds nice. So we loaded up and went out to Priest Lake in Idaho. It is pretty hard to get a camp site in summer but somehow after driving around for over an hour looking for a site we got one... it was the last one available. You can tell we both haven't been camping in a while because we forgot a ton of things. I forgot dinner items for the second night and Chad forgot shoes for hiking, which I saw by the front door when we came home. But even without those things we had a great time. The lake is gorgeous and we took time out to drive around the lake which took about 2 hours... the lake is huge!!! It brought back so many childhood memories for me. Chad and I both want to make camping a tradition in a our family! Our kids are gonna learn how to "rough-it" at a young age... haha ya right we slept on an air mattress thanks to the Ericksons!

Chad was the example of a true boy as he played with the fire and had us out in the wood collecting "real" fire wood. I must say he does start a pretty good fire. We cooked our hot dogs over the fire last night but I was the silly one who dropped theirs in the fire... Chad graciously gave me half of his, it was delicious.

We are back home, thankful for showers and a home without mosquitoes I got eaten alive.

Interview and a weekend in W. Washington

Chad, had an interview last Thursday for a job with Loomis armored car company. He will work in the vault if he gets the job, it'll be something part time.



Chad and I made a trip back to western Washington this last weekend. It was nice to spend time with family and friends. My dad has the big task of repainting the outside of his house so we helped out a bit. Chad is now a master at using the sprayer, he was a big help to my dad. Mimi (Michelle) and I had the fun task of masking off the porch and priming the porch!! But it was great family time.















It was so great for Chad and I to have time back with friends. We miss them so much. We have truly been blessed with some amazing friends. Wish I would have taken more pictures of the weekend, but unfortunately I didn't. But we had a great time. Now its back to work again for me tomorrow and hopefully for Chad soon.

Since the Wedding

Well we have been married for a month now... crazy how fast time flies. After the wedding we spent an amazing week in Jamaica. It was hot, we enjoyed some great thunderstorms, went scuba diving, and ate a ton.

We got home on July 9th and began the great adventure of adjusting to life under the same roof. I was able to stay home for a week before returning to work which was a blessing. We enjoyed our time hanging out a home together. We got an espresso maker and a new bbq so its been fun experimenting with both...great bonding times!

We are pretty much all settled in now, we have a great little home that we are renting that is perfect for the two of us. I am back to work, Chad will most likely be starting a job soon and then will be returning to school in a month. He has been working on fixing his motorcycle lately...he's so handy these days :-)

We will keep you updated on the little happenings in our life and the milestones in Chad's schooling. Please pray for us as we begin this journey together. And pray for Chad with school, and that God will provide all we need...flight school is not a cheap thing. I am so proud of Chad and that he is following God's calling on his life.

Stay tuned for more.
