The First Anniversary

We had a fabulous time on our trip back to the Freestone. Our favorite part of the wedding was the entire lodge and weekend filled with all of our friends and family. It was a little weird when we arrived this time and were surrounded by strangers. We couldn't help but feel "what are all you people doing in our lodge and where are our loved ones??"

We mountain biked, did some sightseeing, went to an outdoor concert and floated inner tubes down the Methow River. The weather hot, sunny, and no forest fires this year. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our first year of marriage.

We had a pleasant surprise from Martin last night with a visit en route to Alaska. It's difficult for Jon to not be going along but he's taking it in stride. Jon is leaving Thursday for a backpacking trip with the Bartrans. I wish I could go along but someone around here has to work!

Kelsey is home for a few days before he flies to New York to visit my sister, Barbara. We meet him in Pennsylvania to celebrate my parents 50th with the Cunsolo side of the family. Elizabeth will be here this weekend for a job interview at the Bellevue Nordstoms and to finalize her apartment. Staci and Levi continue with wedding plans and everything is falling nicely into place. Tonya is hosting a bridal shower for Ericka on Saturday and it will be our first opportunity to meet her mom and sisters.

Jon is feeling good and getting stronger everyday. His only complaint is that a young, female track star from Sumner High kicked his ass running up Lakeland Hills today...not too bad for a guy who was supposed to be dead months ago.

I know, what a whiner! When he told me about the track girl, I said, "Umm...I'm not following you. A healthy person in the prime of their youth who is preparing for a cross country season beat you up the hill...and you're mad about what???"
