Whenever we talk about her cousins she always just talks about you! Thanks for being so amazing and such a nice, thoughtful guy.... that's right, we're calling you a "guy" now, you're not a "boy" anymore now that you're 12!!! We can't wait to see you!!!

Snorkeling at Maida Flats






Whether feeding wild ocean fish some Lays Potato Chips or visiting a Japanese Cultural Arts center to see what the Habu poisonous snakes, the kids in the photo opportunity or whatever else downloaded here, it was a good day. Having a wonderful time with Tom, Tracey and the three kiddos. Having dinner Saturday with Marc Waterman from the Carl Vinson dental clinic days. He was my Senior Dental Officer. He is still going strong. What a guy. Fukashi called and is ready for our visit on Sunday and next week. Love the area. Will be sad to leave. Dad and Mom

April 16th, 2010

Well that is the date of my scheduled induction for Camie. I just thought I probably needed to announce it to the family so that you all know what is going on here. We are getting very excited for her to join us. I will be 37 weeks on Wednesday and I am definitely ready for her to come.

Just as Peter announced, we rented out our home in Boise and are now in limbo at Mom and Dad's house until we figure out what we will do in Salem (rent/buy). Thanks to Mom and Dad for putting up with us being here for the time being. I don't know what we would do if we didn't have such great people to be willing to take us in. We love you and thanks so much.

It is weird to be in such a big house all alone but I am getting alot of company with Kim and Brent coming over alot. Thanks to all of you who are keeping me busy in these last few days of pregnancy and not having Peter here all the time. It is helping alot. Thanks.

Well now is the waiting game to see if she comes before April 16th. Otherwise she will be coming then and we will definitely let you know.

We love you all.

-Anne

Made it to Okinawa by 2140 or there abouts






We made it into Naha, Okinawa on Saturday night about 2140. Tom was there to meet us and drove us, taxi-style, through town to the base where he works. This is Camp Foster. All concrete but with beautiful greenery growing around and through out the base. Tom clued me in that 2 of my mentors live here; John LaBanc and Marc Waterman. I plan to drop by and see them while here, if we get the time. Haven't tried any local food yet but looking forward to it. Lots of Pachinko parlors on the way. Went to church today and feel pretty normal as far as no jet lag. Met some a Military Relations Missionaries. Barb and I are hoping to go that route when I finally retire. I think we are going to sit down and set a date so we do it, as planned. Otherwise, the time will just get further and further out there and we'll be too old to do it later. I'd love to come to Okinawa for our Mission. Right up our alley. Mom and I both like the area. We are going out on a short drive around the area today then leave tomorrow to go to Okuma, a military owned resort at the North part of the island. Have to watch out for the Habu snakes because Tom says I am paranoid about them and Banana spiders. Oh well. Later, K & B

We rented out our Boise home

So yesterday afternoon right before I hopped on a plane for Portland we agreed to the terms for renting our house out starting the next weekend. The opportunity came up and we decided to jump on it. I am excited to be moving on things but also nervous to be a first time landlord. It will be a 2 year lease. Well the real reason I need to blog this is that I will be packing up a moving truck next Wednesday and driving to Salem on Thursday. So....are any of you Vancouver-ites available to help unload the truck in Salem next Thursday night?


Let me know please.

San Diego

So sometimes I like to pretend I speak Spanglish and say words in Spanish in the middle of my sentences. Well, just now as I was deciding what I should title this post, I thought, "I should put San Diego in Spanish!" I am stupid...

Let's see, it's been almost a month since I've posted...sorry. I've been meaning to for a while but just haven't sat down to write it. So, of course, I am writing this during one of my classes that is pretty boring. Gotta be productive, right?

Speaking of school, classes are going well. I'm getting started on work for final projects, group and individual, that are all due at the end of April.  I can't really believe this is my last semester of traditional classes. I have my last class during the summer, which is more of a consultation project so I don't count it as really the same thing. I am definitely ready to be done, even though I am glad I came back to school.

My internship is continuing well. I have fairly constant work to do and am getting along with my boss.  From what he's saying it seems like he is wanting me to stay working there for a while, which would be nice to have as a steady opportunity for employment.  I think I'll be moving more into an organizational role in the business side of the company, which works for my strengths and I think will really help the company. I'm also planning on starting up some part-time work again with Sport Chalet soon. Not my first choice but it'll be easy cause I already know how to do everything and it won't be another thing to stress about (hopefully).

Outside of school and work, I've been enjoying my time with friends. I have my car back and he's working just fine now. SO nice to have a car again.

We took a trip up to LA to see my friend Matthew in a play he was starring in. He did a great job and we had a fun couple days hanging out in Santa Monica, Hollywood and Long Beach.

There were also had a couple birthdays this month among my friends so we got together to celebrate those around San Diego.



St. Patrick's Day was also really fun with a day at the San Diego St. Patrick's Day parade (biggest one west of the Mississippi!) and Irish fair in Balboa Park. We frolicked around in the park and jigged to the Irish band they had playing. Not quite Ireland but very fun. :)



So it's been a fun month with totally awesome weather and April looks like will keep it up. I have Spring Break next week - no big trips planned, mostly just playing around town and catching up on some schoolwork but it'll be nice to think I have the week off.

A couple weeks later, I am going up to the MUSE concert in San Francisco with Matthew for a quick trip. VERY excited about that. Then most of my friends are taking off to Europe for a couple weeks, which will be good for me cause that is when all my projects are due so I'll be forced to spend a good amount of time getting those done without distraction.

Well, that's about as far ahead as I think so there you go. Glad most of you like the blog format change. :)

Washougal

Quick update.

ISAAC...

  • Has managed to text his cell phone to death. It is broken and he's at a loss.
  • Doesn't act like he has a broken clavicle, which he does. Is it healing? Who knows.
  • Has girls on the brain - or perhaps a girl on the brain.
TAYLOR...
  • Continues to march to his own drummer. Loves skinny jeans - and actually carries them off pretty well.
  • Has entered a Google logo contest at school and is taking it rather seriously.
PARKER...
  • Had an 'accident' at school last week. He was mortified. I got an apology call from the teacher that wouldn't let him go to the bathroom. I should have had her come over when he was on his bunk bed crying over the embarrassment.
MORGAN...
  • Just a sweet, obedient, fair-tempered, beautiful girl.
  • Her latest ambition is to play the cello.
ADINA...
  • Has been offered the opportunity to train in the NICU at the hospital. Taking it.
  • Has started running with her pepper spray after a friend spotted an 'exposer' on the dike. Lovely.
  • Signed up for a sprint triathlon in July. Adding laps to the current regimen of running and biking.
DAVE...
  • Survived (only barely) his g-mail account being taken over by some scammer.
  • Will be joining Adina at the pool at 5 am for laps. Just acquired some smashing trunks for the occasion.
  • Has made Discovery Dental the major sponsor for the upcoming Washougal Schools Foundation Stride - a running event in May. Huge exposure for the practice.
MISC...
  • Excited for our trip to Utah with the Schickies next week.
  • Headed out with friends on Friday night to dinner & a show: 3 cover bands for The Cure, Joy Division, and New Order. Should be a blast.
  • Took the kids to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid - pretty funny. They loved it.
  • Enjoying the Spring weather. Kids are outside constantly on their bikes and taking walks.
Well - that update should see us through for a while.
