Latest Happenings

A lot more has happened in the last few weeks and I decided I should hop on my blog and do some updating!!

  • I went to Walla Walla for a wonderful weekend with family.
  • Nick and I took a weekend trip to Spokane for an epic weekend that shall go down in history.
  • We started remodeling our hallway and put in new carpet in the house (Just have to finish the stair rail).
  • I completed my first week of summer camp/research for grad school!!  It was an utter blast to spend a week at Oxbow Farm as a volunteer through their partnership with the Wilderness Awareness School.  This first week was filled with 6 hours per day (4 hours with the kids in attendance), 5 days per week hanging out with and teaching 4-6 years olds about farming, food and nature. 
  • Continued our gardening and joined the Oxbow Farm CSA (community supported agriculture).  We got our first box this week filled with fennel, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, lettuce and rainbow chard.  We've also been putting up peas, strawberries, cherries and raspberries.





  • I started working at the Bellevue Children's Surgery Center and am loving a more flexible schedule, closer to home, better hours and finally taking care of patients again!
  • Big changes a comin' - Nick and I have decided to sell our house and move into a rental apartment or town home.  We are looking to find our 'freedom' in our jobs, our mobility and our lives.  Once I'm done with my last year of grad school we'll see where we go from there.
More updates coming soon!!  Hope you are all having a beautiful and blessed summer.
