Picnik

My new fav site. Picnik allows you to create your own headers or change your pictures etc. I was able to crop pics and add text after putting it into a collage, since I seem to be somewhat html challenged I think it is pretty cool. Not so sure why html escapes me, I probably just don't care enough to invest the time to learn...maybe someday.

The Evergreen State College

Love this school. We went to Olympia mid-week for Chad to take some tests for work. What a delightful area and a gorgeous campus nestled in the middle of the the forest. I did take a bunch of pictures but of course left my cord at house, so these have been pirated from google.

We booked a room at the Red Lion and LOVE IT! First floor, king sized bed, with a sliding glass door that goes out into a big lawn just off of a small lake and the swimming pool area. How cool is that! Also they allow dogs so we were able to bring the pups who are loving the non-snow walks and more green grass then they can cover in a week. We tromped all over campus checking out their soccer fields and outdoor facilities and made sure we knew where Chad needed to go tomorrow to take his tests.

Looking forward Trader Joe's tomorrow and to a hopefully peaceful/non-snowy drive back over the pass.

Merry Christmas

Our Moving truck 25 ft and a car trailer...way too long, we have way too much stuff!

After over three long months of moving we are finally kind of settled in Yakima. I am not sure I have recovered from packing the house and being separated from my honey, but this last few weeks of tons of time with him has really helped! We are so thankful for the blessing of two good jobs in this struggling job market and know that it is all thanks to our Heavenly Father. We just need to sell our house and get a lot more patience...


So want this Nativity!!

We have had a great Christmas break we have gone to a few movies, spoken in church, done some Christmas shopping, been out to eat and learned some things about are new little town. This Christmas Eve we went to see the lights in the area and it is amazing how much work some people have done on their homes! I can't wait to make our own attempt next year! After 12 years of marriage I think this is our first Christmas just by ourselves and not someones guests, I know we are weird and even though we don't have kids (since apparently that is when you get to have your own Christmas...)it has been really fun to have a chance to start our own traditions.

One here's to one more week off of work and to a happy new year! Lots of love to all our of our families and friends we are a little homesick and miss you all!

Apparently we are "those" kind of people...
