With a couple interviews scheduled for Thursday, today was more of a catch up day for the family and I. I installed a really cool curvy shower rod that gives me 3 feet of more room in my shower. I also installed two new faucets in the kitchen for my mother. God, she was happy...I've never been much of a plumber, but we all think I did a pretty good job. I got a little help from Riley, who happens to be pretty handy with a wrench! I had a couple problems with my deposit for my class in Prague. My bank won't authorize payment because its from a different country. I will have to wire the funds over to Prague tomorrow. What a hassle... ... read more

Hey everyone. How long has it been? Quite awhile and we have done so much, so this will probably be a lengthy blog. So here it goes: After we left Bellingham we found our way to Mt. Rainier. What a beautiful place. We stayed on the Sunrise side and stayed for 3 days. The first day we hiked 9 miles and did some ridge running. That was fun. It was very hard hiking, but fun. The next day we hiked to the summit of Dege Peak which was only 4.2 miles and an easy hike. We then left the Sunrise side and headed to Ellensburg, WA. The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute is located there with Washoe and her friends so I had to go. It was absolutely amazing! We sat through a lecture and then ... read more

Just wanted to give a quick hello and put at least something up on the blog. Very quick recap over last few weeks- *Nashville.........I admit it, I like a little bluegrass *New Orleans..........Can't belive the images on TV after just visiting there, very sad. *Memphis..............Graceland.....yeaahhh (imagine being said by the boss from Office Space).....uummm.....(ok, back to my own voice)....cool to see, but the whole time I'm thinking, "Maybe they need to put the King away for a little while." *Chicago (with my dad)......Wrigley Field, enough said. *Notre Dame.............Touchdown Jesus inspried me.

We made it! We arrived at San Diego at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 28, rented a car and got home by 1:00 p.m. We had a great time, wonderful experiences, funny anecdots and incredible adventures, all in 3 weeks. We learned so much, grew so much and enjoy sooooo much and one more time we can say there is no better place than home. We are still recovering from the trip, we have so much to talk about, we loved everything we saw, enjoyed everything we did, appreciated everything we had and blessed the people everywhere we went. Strangers, new friends and old friends, people is really the beauty of the world. We will try to add some more pictures now that we are home. Thank you all for your comments, your prayers and wishes, ... read more
