My life has been fairly interesting and busy lately. Two weeks ago I went to Grand Lake on a family vacation. I loved getting to spend time with my family – two of my cousins even came. I went hiking and kayaking, played games and watched movies, and ate lots of food. I even made… Continue reading Happenings of the past three weeks
Last week, during my spring break, Gene and I visited Washington. I hadn’t been back to the Seattle area in over four years so it was high time I went.
