Sunny Times...

Heading home tomorrow...too soon!

More fun...

Did we mention that we love summer? These last few weeks have been very busy (perhaps too busy as I don't think we will be able to attend church in Corvallis until the middle of September), but we wouldn't want to miss a thing. This last Friday we went to the beautiful wedding of our friends and Paul's second family Bethany and Danny Nedelisky up in Portland. The time was wonderful, but went by too fast as we then headed back to Silver Falls for some camping with Ashley's family.

Here are a few pictures of our camping trip. Despite some rain on Saturday morning we had a great time hiking, biking, playing games, cooking and playing with our nephews.

As we entered into August I, Ashley, had to shift gears and started thinking about heading back to the classroom. This summer I was fortunate to be able to sub for my sister at Home Life, Inc. as their Staff Development Coordinator. I have worked for Home Life, Inc. all through college and am sad to have to leave my positions there, but know it is time.

We still have many trips and events to come including the Jeld-Wen Tradition at Sun River, a trip to Tri-Cities for some wakeboarding, a trip to the Running Y and a few more weddings. We have also put an offer in for a house here in Albany and will hopefully be moving in the middle of September. Why Albany? Well, the Albany School District is actually one of the best districts in the state, it means that only one of us has to communte to our jobs, it is close to I-5 making trips to Salem and Portland a bit easier and we have come to find that there are many beautiful parts of Albany that you don't see by just passing through.

We love all our friends and family and appreciate all the time we get to spend with everyone.
