Another surplus sale! Lake Washington School District had a surplus sale, so naturally we had to go. We woke up at 6am and stood in the cold for an hour, but it was worth it! We ended up getting a fairly new projector for $25, a big box of tessellation tiles and blocks for $5, [...]

Well, once again we’re guilty of not updating the blog . We have been busy little bees though. In April we spent the entire month training for a 5K race that was sponsored by Microsoft. At first, I think we were just doing it because it was free, but then we got really into it. We were [...]

I think I’ve found my new calling in life. VELODROME RACING! We had a beautiful spring day yesterday and Jon and I made use of the not often seen sun. We set out on a bike ride without a set destination and ended up biking down some unknown trails. About an hour and a half [...]

Well, I’m officially old. I turned 24 yesterday and as usual Jon planned a great birthday surprise for me. I was totally in the dark this time and my closest guess for what he planned wasn’t even remotely close. We drove up North about an hour where Jon had found a KANGAROO FARM!!!! It was the strangest [...]

Last weekend Jon and I went to check out the Granite Curling Club in Seattle due to interest sparked during our olympic adventure. After watching the curling event we figured we could probably make it on the US team without too much trouble, but after trying it we realize that curling is a bit harder than it [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Jon and I went with my group of interns to the San Juan Islands. We got to try sea kayaking for the first time! When we booked the trip our main reason for going was to see whales, but we weren’t so lucky. We saw a bunch of other things [...]
