Dad and Jeni are visiting!

I'm picking them up at the airport around 3:30!!

We have a soccer game tonight so hopefully they will be awake enough to cheer us on!

Observation!

Well, this morning I am being observed by people from the Gates Foundation. They just wanna see a typical day in a typical freshman level class. Shouldn't be a big deal but I can't help being nervous. Mostly it is caused by the fact that the students are collecting data which can be risky and quickly turn south. This is what we typically would do today so I gotta roll with it.

YIKES.

Futbol!

GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!
Friday's are now reserved for our soccer games! Chris played in high school and I played for a minute in fifth grade. I'm getting better. I know I know, nowhere to go but up. It is so much fun! This has to be the best way to end the week. The first game I was terrified to play. We played "Team Xbox!". They all worked at XBox and were sponsored by them with hideous neon green jerseys. Think my school will sponsor us?

Chris, cuter than ever, cracks me up. He has a knee brace and foot inserts. The knee brace is for the knee he did NOT have surgery on. hmmmm are we getting old?

When it rains in Seattle

It snows in the mountains!! Here's us with my sister Snowshoeing. My dad and Jeni were in town visiting. Let's just say there was a LOT of snow in the mountains... so you know what that means.

Lifemusers: Risky Business

This is my friend's blog about preparing to start new careers... what you may ask?
Good question. She's studying for the first actuary exam. I'm looking to start classes to become certified as a Database Developer. We are also exploring the infinite entrepreneurial options we constantly come up with.

Abbey's no pup

I realize this but please not too loud she has feelings ya know.

Yes, Abbey's 3.5 years and filling out and looking like well, a dog. We've gone a many hikes with her and have pictures but either a) Chris can't hold a camera steady or b) Abbey won't stand still because she's blurry in all the photos. (or frankly I just plain don't like how I look in them)

So Bryan, we'll work on it. In the meantime I thought you would enjoy seeing your parent's old couch again for kicks.

Abbey as a puppy

Here's Abbey as a puppy! She's uh... a bit more filled out these days.
