After I posted my "wonderings" there have been a few things going on in our lives that I thought I'd share.
First, we sold our Subaru!! We had been trying to sell it for several months with little to no interest in it through craigslist. Well, we finally did sell it and we are SO happy to have that off our list. It was a nice little car to have when my Toyota died, but after the purchase of our Neon in November we've had little use for it and it turned into a weight we just had to carry around.
Track season has begun. It's been fun getting back into it. This will be my 4th official year coaching at Madison, 5th if you count the half season I helped with when the previous pole vault coach left. Anyway, I have been enjoying spending the afternoons getting these kids to jump and see that they are capable of more than they think they are. I have 8 consistent vaulters and I'm hoping for great things this season.
This last weekend my older brother surprised us with a visit. It was so nice to spend time talking, hiking, and catching up. We went up the Columbia River Gorge and enjoyed a short hike up to Latourell Falls. Luke and I had some of our engagement pictures taken there but had never hiked the entire trail. It was a nice little hike, even with the mud and rain.
Finally, I don't know if you've noticed the rumblings and flashes, but we had a brief thunder and lightning storm today. :) Happy times. Never will you know the difference between partly cloudy, showers, rain, etc. until you live in the North West.
