Trip to WA and MN

August 13, 2007

It was great to make my recent trip to Washington and Minnesota even though it was so brief. Before I got there, I spent 2 and a half days at our office in Mountlake Terrace. I met with Nelson Reed, Scott Gillespie, Pearl Kallio, Brian Stewart and Jenny Mark (she was the photographer too so she did not get in the pictures). We had a lot to talk about and I am still trying to keep up with the assignments. I stayed with Doug and Margi Nichols and I always enjoy my time with them. It was great to spend time with other friends there too. I'd like to go back next April.

After my days at the office, I went to Minnesota to spend some time with Micah. We had fun and got caught up on a lot of stuff. I was happy to buy some smaller size clothes due to my losing weight (albeit slowly). I also spent some time with my parents and making videos of Micah's skating. Jeff and Amos arrived a week later. The open house for Micah was a highlight and pretty much the only time I got to see some people.

We have been back for a week now and there has been much to do. We also realize that there needs to be some repairs done to the floors in our apartment. This will be a major task and I pray I can find the right person to do this work. Most of our summer short termers are gone now. One of the things I've been working on is getting this new website set up. Eventually we'll close the old ones. So all in all, this has been a very busy but fruitful summer.
