Okay, so I've caught some grief from a few of you for not updating our blog in a while. Seven months is a long time, I'll give you that. So a long story short, Katie and I got married in January in Mexico as most of you reading probably know. Afterward we came back and I've been putting in some long hours at work, and in March Katie started her new career of Real Estate Appraisal. She has been taking classes and has been hired as an Appraiser Trainee, a position she will have to hold for two years before qualifying to take the exam for the Professional License. She is really enjoying it, and is glad to no longer be in the restaurant industry! In March we took a trip out to Big Sky for a weekend with Katie's family and got some skiing in; the weather was beautiful! In the beginning of May, Katie's parents came out to visit for a few days, and then we all went to Las Vegas for a few days of R&R in the sun. And just a couple weeks ago, Katie and I went out to Big Sky again to help her parents with some landscaping for their housing project. We planted 41 evergreen trees (4-8 ft trees) in two and a half days! Other than that, we've been having some fun around Seattle. A couple friends and I climbed Mt. Si the other weekend, we've grilled out a few times (the weather has been AWESOME this spring), we went to a Mariners-Twins game last weekend, and Katie and I also participated in a 5k run for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Sunday. Okay, well I think that about covers the last 7 months. Here are some pictures, enjoy!

This was at a restaurant in Big Sky. Rylan got ahold of Grandpa's money!

We had a grill-off to determine if there was a discernable taste difference when cooking with charcoal or propane. Verdict: No taste difference (verdict dependent upon chef's abilities)

We were supposed to be in the cheap-seats, but an usher was nice to us so we got an upgrade! Joe Mauer at bat.

It's hard to stay caught up on blogging when you just get married! I understand completely :)
Finally! Glad to see you're back at it. Your last post was when Jocelyn was born - and she's exactly 7 months today. :) Fun to see some updated pics!
Yea!! Thanks for the great photos and the update (even though we did know what you had been doing)! We are envious of your beautiful weather!
