It's rained quite a bit lately, with a few breaks for the sun, but the weather has warmed up enough that it feels like spring. And really, it's the mild rain that makes it most feel like spring, more than the sun, because that and the gray is what we tend to see most up…
This past Sunday, a meetup was scheduled at Gas Works Park in Seattle as part of the Financial Freedom book tour. I don't remember exactly how the conversation started on Twitter, but somehow it ended with Seonwoo buying plane tickets for the weekend first for himself and then for Moriah to show up for the…
We went out to San Juan Island for the day on Saturday for the first time in far too long. While Lopez Island is our favorite of the islands, we very much enjoy spending time on Orcas Island and San Juan Island as well. The major upside of heading to San Juan is that Friday…
So, one of our very favorite neighbor couples is moving out of state come next month. They are having their first child and are moving to be closer to family, so I completely understand why they are making that choice, but we are seriously going to miss them around here. Remember when I wrote about…
Last Friday the kiddo and I took the train down to Portland for Uriah's third birthday party. It was an absolutely lovely trip and I'm so glad that the two of them got to hang in real life instead of just by FaceTime, and seeing and hugging his mama just fed my soul. Love you…

After what has felt like an extremely long, extremely cold winter, things seem to finally be warming up a little and feeling like spring might just be around the corner after all. For those of you in the Midwest or the Northeast where it regularly snows and stays cold this late in the year, this…
This week closes out what appears to be the end of the extra busy schedule that has consumed my last few weeks since we returned from Hawaii and the snow melted. Some of this extra intense schedule was due to the evening meetings that got moved due to the snow, but in general the second…
This week at work was insanely busy and full, as was the week before, but with the added bonus of multiple evening meetings. We worked two half weeks in a row thanks to the Hawaii trip and then another half week after that thanks to the inability to leave our house after the snow, though…
So, it hasn't actually snowed in a week and a half but there is still plenty of snow and ice left in our neighborhood. While most of the city is snow free except for a few piles that were pushed out of the way before everything else melted, our neighborhood still has quite a bit…
