There are more adorable photos of me on my flickr site.


We are now a two-car family. We bought this '03 Toyota Rav4 from a nice guy here in Eureka. It was a deal!


This is the best built pump house ever. We know this is an indication of building to come, and we are thrilled for what this means for the rest of our house. We're meeting with a couple of the subcontractors tomorrow to discuss things. We anticipate them starting the septic system tomorrow, too.


I went walking with my co-worker, Heidi, last week and captured this with my cell phone. Now imagine it looking 1,000 times more awesome in real life. We walked a few yards further and a flock of little shorebirds flew right at us, split around us and then reconvened just past us. It was so cool to hear them chirping and flapping their wings as they realized we were standing there in their path.
