Lots of Ups and one Down

Hi all...been awhile since the Portlanders have posted.

I'll do highlights bulletpoint style:

-Justin had an awesome semester!  Straight A's (not that any of us thought he would get anything less) and an extremely complementary email from one of his professors about what a great student Justin was this term.  Yay Justin!

-Justin and I are house hunting!  Yes, house hunting DESPITE the rainest June on record (I am definitely ready for summer).  We are looking to set down some roots and are having a great time looking at houses.  I never knew I cared about the size of the yard or about where a bathroom is located.  When/if we find something we love, we'll keep people updated.

-Justin is still training away for his ultramarathon...running lots of hills and lots of miles.

-Here is the one "down." I crashed on my bike about 2 weeks ago.  I'm okay and thankful it wasn't more serious.  I have a large hematoma on my right leg (I call it my alien water balloon) and some bruising.  It's been a pretty big training set back but I'm powering through.  For those interested, here's a photo:



-My dad had a stellar retirement party last weekend.  I flew down for a short trip, it was great to see him and a bunch of my old teachers.  To the teachers in the family, wait til you have students come back 20 years later!

-Justin went on a fun bike camping adventure.  They parked the car somewhere and biked to the camping spot and then biked back.  Sounded like lots of fun!

I think those are the major updates.  We are really looking forward to seeing you all very soon!
