Today was Memorial Day. First off, I took some time this morning to reflect on that fact.

Monday morning I woke up happy and motivated, and in the span of about fifteen minutes went from “Hmm, is it a little cold in here?” to shivering and shuddering so … Continue reading »
What do we know for certain about life in the Northwest? It rains. … it rains often. Now, I’m a rain lover. So I didn’t think it would be huge deal for me, getting used to the weather up here.
