We are Here

Moving Update



We left CA and stopped by to see a few of our friends on the way up to Washington. We met Cara at my aunt and uncles place and had a terrific visit there. Then it was off to Redding for the night, and then to Washington.



The drive was uneventful and we are very thankful for that. When we arrived we had a great time at Jim and Sandi's, and got to go visit Ben and Laura our other friends that moved there from Sioux Falls about 8 months ago. Their kids have gotten about 100 time more adorable and we look forward to seeing them again in the not so distant future.

Here is Addison and Ashton hanging out with me and having a blast.

Jim and Sandi are very glad that we are back in the area...for good.

Jim had a new...old.. model T. He custom built the wood frame for the back and the entire thing was made from older parts of other "T's" he had accumulated over the past 20yrs. We took it for a ride and it ran like a top.

Here is Ben and Ashton that night when we had a BBQ at Jim and Sandi's. I would put the pic of me with him in, but it contains evidence of me consuming adult beverages and may not be suitable for all audiences.

Brenda with Addison and she can run like the wind...while Ashton runs more like a guy at 2am after a long night, but he is getting better.

Then we got to the apartment and it looked as it did on the internet and we signed the papers and have a new place to stay.

Here is Brenda's new best friend's that she is very excited about...she is still trying to figure out where to put the quarters at, but I told her they did not need it. What will they think of next?

Living room and TV room all in one.

Here is the kitchen.

The downtown of Spokane is very cool and we cannot figure out where all the people are. If there was this nice of a place in CA it would be swarmed with people.Brenda and her mom. Nice Sunday afternoon.

This weekend we went to Coeur D'Alene lake on a long motorcycle ride. The ride was awesome and we got a chance to go for a dip in the lake.

Here is Brenda in the crystal clear water and it is way warmer than the ocean.

There is a bike path all along the river about 1.5m from our apartment. The bike path is about 35 miles long and paved the whole way. It is perfect for a quick ride.We are hoping to float the river sometime this summer and it looked like a great time.

Monday and Tuesday I had a job in Idaho in the town of Wallace. This job was supposed to start a long time ago, but is just getting off of the ground. My co worker could not get out here in time for job and will be about two weeks out so we got to stay in the condo in the ski resort he has rented. This place was ....wow...way nicer than I would have ever thought.

Chillin in the new pad.This place has an indoor water park and it is included with the room. What else could you want. They have a wave rider and the line was non existent so I rode that thing a lot.

Here is what the outside of the resort looks like. I will be working there more in the future and love working around the beautiful mountains and trees.

Just thought I would update the blog finally to let you know what we are up to, but it has been a very busy two weeks and it feels so new here that work does not even seem like work. I am sure it will get old, but it is so nice for now. I know the blog has lacked spunk as of late, but with a lot going on I have not had time to pay attention to how the government is sticking it to us.
