Ringing The Rosie

Having been left alone next to the liquor table, the kids bust into a boisterous rendition of Ring Around The Rosie.

Twas a festive day to be sure. Tina so lovingly hosted a fabulous little get together for us to bid farewell to friends and loved ones. As usual, we took very few pictures because we were too busy having fun. The camera didn't get used until the last moments and half the guests are not pictured. But we know who was there, and we are thankful to have each and every one of them in our lives.

Stress release!

Finally, after 3 weeks of negotiation we got Dylan and Kiah parental permission paper to travel out of the country signed. It has been a roller-coaster ride for me and Katie. Katie and I are looking forward to leave this matter behind us and start our new adventure in Forest Row. Don't get me wrong I'm still stress out but not like before... Last, I will let Katie write more about this matter soon. She is with Dylan and Kiah doing girlie stuff. Anja and I are going to OMSI and then to Pioneer mall for food and see a John Lennon work... It is FREE!!!

25 Days

Almost to crunch time! We are finishing up with last minute (and some quite intense) business details. If all works out well we will have big news to post. Thats all I'm saying...

Our big going away celebration is on Saturday. Tina has been so incredibly generous in offering to host for us. I am most excited because I get to see Nancy and Charlie, her mom and dad again. I love them to pieces. Be on the lookout for great photos of various states of sobriety some time next week!

If there is any news we will pass it along. If there isn't - well, then, nevermind.

Zee German gave 2 weeks notice

So, I gave notice to Cingular on Friday 06/03 and they got the surprise of their life. I guess!!! Nowadays, I’m counting the days until I no longer need to come to work and being behind a desk… I’m so tired of this… My boss told me today that he sees a big smile everyday I come to work because I WON’T BE HERE ANYMORE YEAH!!! I’m ready for a change, I need it, we all need it… Back to Cingular, my last day is Friday 06/17 and I guess I’m going to miss everyone at work NOT! But at least a few of them like… you know who you are! PS: I’m killing some time at work… eheheheh!!!

We visted Lopez Island in the San Juans Northeast of Seatlle this weekend. We visited Heaven. When we talk about living in a more rural area this is what we dream about. A place where folks smile, nod, and toss a quick wave as they pass each other on the road. Where the earth we live on is treated like a beloved member of the family.

We saw this baby tree hugging its mama tree as we hiked on Sharks Reef. If the cool new linky deal with flickr works then if you click on it, you should be able to see more pics....
