we finally joined the rest of the world...

unfortunately, i haven't been on here for a few weeks, as chad and fife arrived, we moved apartments and we didn't have internet until last thursday. not only did we not have internet, but we don't have a tv or a radio... basically we were cut off from the outside world. well, not any longer!

these last few weeks have been busy - too busy to recall everything that has happened, but namely: my sister came to visit for a week, we moved apartments, chad is job searching, i ran 12 miles for the first time in my life, and we are going to start homebrewing soon (once we figure out what the heck we have to do to get started). i also decided that I'm going to keep going with team in training and do the portland marathon on 10/10/10 and then in 2011, we're going to south america (peru and chile) for 3 weeks. shortly thereafter, i will turn 30 and we'll see if i stick to promise of starting to try for a baby. whew! lots going on, lots of plans being made.

but for tonight, it was a lovely night, hanging out in the apartment with my hubby and my dog, drinking a beer, having some dinner, enjoying a tea before bed... it's the simple things in life that make you appreciate what you have. i am one lucky girl.

i'll leave you with a photo my sister took about 10 days ago at cannon beach. it has quickly become one of my favorite pictures ever. i love my little family!
