It’s pretty much official. Kim and I have bought tickets to fly to Peru. We’ll be visiting family in Washington, Connecticut and Florida beforehand though. We’re going to have to get a bunch of vaccinations, figure out insurance, decide what stuff to keep and what to store, forward our mail, and….. There’s a lot to do and I already feel a little overwhelmed, but I’m sooooooooooooo looking forward to this. It’s definitely time for something big and new. Kim and I seem to like to have a big event on the horizon at all times. The last few years it’s been graduating college, moving cross country to Seattle, finding our first real jobs, buying a house, getting married, graduating again from school, and now moving to a foreign country for as long as our finances allow.
I haven’t been writing much the last few months, but I’ve been keeping busy with more lindy hop dance classes and working on Kim’s cookbook application. I’m really enjoying programming web apps and hopefully it’ll be something I can do when I return. But really, where does the time go? It’s already July of 2007?
Last weekend Kim and I went with Laura back to Newport for the rodeo. Kim’s first rodeo. We spent quite a bit of time at Doug Knapp’s on the river. He rented a school bus to drive us back into town for the rodeo, then to Kelly’s for some hometown drinking, to a gas station for a late night snack and finally back to the house on the river. That was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of old acquaintances at Kelly’s, including kinda drunk gradeschool teachers. That was fun and odd.
On the way back home we stopped at lake Chelan and went to a few wineries. We’ll have to go back there sometime, because that’s a nice little down for a summer wine tour.
Wow…the rodeo! Same as it always was? What’s Doug Knapp doing these days? I’d like to hear more about the Kelly’s extravaganza. Newport seems like another world…wonder when I’ll make it back for a visit.
