SUMMER!!!

So, it's been awhile, but I'll try and quickly catch you up with what is going on with us. We have made it back home to Seattle, WA and we love it!!! We love how green and pretty it is. We were initially going to live in Sumner in an apt, but that didn't work out. Instead, we are living in Joseph's grandparents basement and we couldn't be happier about it. We are learning so much from them. They have so much life experience and such great stories, that we feel like we could sit and listen to them forever.
We are both working right now. I work for my grandparents company doing the bidding for a rebar installation company and I love it! There is so much to learn and it's really exciting! It gets really stressful sometimes and for the last week my left eye has developed a twitch. I'm going to have to figure out how to handle it better...or maybe just get an eye patch. Joseph is doing his internship at a company called DMI Drilling. He is enjoying learning all the different aspects of a sub-contractor. The people he works with are really nice and he has been able to go on some fun trips. He ended up in Forks one week for a job they were doing. I was so jealous.
Here are some pics we've taken over that last little while.


This is one picture he took while he was there. He really enjoyed seeing this area of Washinton and how beautiful it was.


This is an enormous bee we caught while staying at Joesph's parents house while they were out of town. I know it looks a little like a spider in this pic, but it's a bee I swear! I have never seen one that big! It was almost as big as the comic strip!


We went putt putt golfing the other day and it was so fun! This is my amazing hole-in-one!


They had a funny uphill hole where Carmen would play look-out and tell us if our ball made it to the top or that we needed to stop if from rolling down to the parking lot as it came back at us!


At the end of the game the guy gave us all ribbons for the place we took...guess who's not on the podium.



It's been a pretty fun summer so far! And it's barely even started! We can't wait to see what else we come up with!

I doubt Joseph knew how many Twilight fans have been dying to get to Forks. He probably has never even heard of Twilight. I didn't realize how beautiful it was up there. Good to see all is well. Hurray for another wedding!
