Our New Puppy!

Here are a few pictures of our new puppy Nanaki.  He is now 6 weeks old (as of Saturday) and is already starting to get bigger.  He should end up being between 40-50 pounds.

Summer Time

So it still feels somewhat odd to not HAVE to go into work only because it's summer time.  Though that was one of the reasons (among many, many others) that I wanted to work in a school setting.  I know there are lots of other things I need to get done this summer...  Between camp, possibly a camp for youth group, yard work (lots of that), some design work, and getting ready for classes again, I still feel very busy.

I have managed to find time to do a few things though, like:

1. Finish Mass Effect 1
2. Start AND finish Mass Effect 2 (great game)
3. Finish Dragon Age 1
4. Start And finish Dragon Age 2 (which was awesome btw)
5. AND reread at least 10 of the books off my shelf

Now since my birthday is coming up in a few weeks I'm hoping that I can actually get some new books that I've been hoping to get for a while.   I think I may have set a record on going a whole year without buying a new book.  And text books don't count, strictly talking about novels at the moment.

In any case, I'm looking forward to being able to spend a little money on some books that I've been dying to get my hands on, and a few that I've already read but I need to get to finish off my sets... I can hardly wait!  Though it does feel slightly odd that I'll be turning 26, not sure why, but it feels like just yesterday that I was turning 25!  This year has gone by very quickly that is for sure!

Yard Photos!

After working yesterday and today on cleaning out the weeds from our side bed I think it looks rather nice!

5 a.m.

So today was the first morning Luke opened at Seattle drip, so I managed to actually get up at 5 a.m., which hasn't happened in years (literally)... however, it is somewhat nice, I've already had a cup of tea, done my daily Bible reading and devotional and am getting ready to head to the gym for maybe an hour then get some yard work done while it's still on the not quite so hot side of the day.  I don't know that I'll make it a habit of getting up at 5 a.m., but today it worked for me.

Easter

Here are a couple pictures from Easter Sunday I thought I would share.  All done by Lance and Heather Bowser.
