Nine months of rain

Well summer arrived big time in Washington. It's supposed to get up into the 80s this week-end. I was driving home from the office today and looked out to see Mt. Ranier looking like a postcard. What a gorgeous sight. It's not dark till almost 10:00pm and we are taking full advantage of the daylight and good weather. Bar-b-ques and hanging out outside with family and friends. All the flowers are in full bloom. Next week-end we will take a stroll up to the mountain and chill out at this great little mountain meadow that is so cool! Now I realize why we put up with all the drizzle, clouds, cold weather and rain for nine months. It's just for these next three months and it is worth it!!

Some sunshine!!!

We are getting some good weather finnally! I opened the windows in the living room and turned on the ceiling fan this afternoon. I'll have to shut it when the sun goes down. I think it already dropped to 59 so that's a wrap. Bevin is out of school!!!!! We now have a junior high schooler. Congratulations to him. He got straight B's. Arlene took her first test for Pierce Transit and said she thinks she did well. Also she said she got a warm feeling when she walked out so that counts for something in my books. She has been the one keeping us on our toes when it comes to reading the Book of Mormon as a family so I feel confident it may be the spirit giving her comfort. Either that a warm wind blew on her! Not much more happening up in the Great Northwest at the moment. Bye for now.

Another Week Starts

Hey everyone,
Another week starts in the Pacific Northwest. Overcast and drizzle. Is it ever going to warm up? My most recent job we started is in the dirt stage or I should say mud stage. Oh well, whatever it takes to feed the fam!
Bevin has one more week of school!! We got him a season pass for "Wild Waves" and if it ever warms up he can go with his Aunt Renae and have some fun.
Arlene is hoping to get an interview with Pierce Transit this week. She really wants to get this job, good pay and great benefits. Let's all say a prayer on her behalf.
That's all for now. I have to go meet the inspector at the job site.

Just starting

Hey everyone,
I'm not sure what I'm doing but I'm trying. Arlene, Bevin and I are living in Puyallup, WA. We love it here. Bevin is finishing up 6th grade and I'm just working away to keep us going. Arlene is spending a lot of time with her mother as she is going through chemotherapy and we think it's important to spend as much time as possible with her. I wish I had spent more time with my mom and I don't want Arlene regretting things like I do. Funny how things go. It's so cool to read about Kizzy and the girls that it inspired me to start a blog. Any how I better get cracking. Updates to follow.
