Feels like Home

My friend Kim on the spawning grounds!








So the job goes on, we are on to spawning surveys. Lots of carcasses, lots of hiking, lots of floating on pontoon boats down rapids (pretty awesome!). The downside is the Oregon weather which has us at her mercy. Every time we get in a rhythm in surveys we get a big rainstorm and the river turns to chocolate milk and is un-surveyable. So it gives me days like this to blog and knit! Pros and cons!

 Last weekend Andrew and I went to our neighbors tree farm and picked out our first Christmas tree! We have really made the farmhouse into our home... I love it! 
Our tree is the flagged one :)
Our living room!

Cheesy :)

A Toast to Thanksgivings Past

I was not be able to go home this Thanksgiving, the first one I have missed in a very long time, if ever. I am so happy to be able to spend it with Andrew and our friends Kim and Jon, but time with family is always so much better.  So a short little photomontage of a few good memories with the fam. Miss you, love you, see you at Christmas!!!

Hope everyone enjoys the holiday!
Celebrate we will for life is short but sweet for certain- DMB (cheesy I know, deal)

Long Lost Blogger


Hello! Life has been extremely busy! Surfing, fishing, knitting, wine tasting, parents visits, Packer parties (yes out here too!!), seals, sea lions, mold, coastal storms, orchestra concerts, and good food.

We have had many fun adventures, the double wide is becoming an adventure as well. We have a new pet, its really gross and unwanted, we have named it Moldy because it is, well, Mold. We are in the process of cleaning and talking to the landlord, so hopefully we can move out before our lease is up.

On the job front, a storm has moved in, and contrary to popular belief it isn't safe to be on a metal boat in a lightning storm! The river has been rockin' and rollin' with all the influx of storm water so we have not been able to fish for a week! To add insult to injury a sea lion camped out on the dock right next to our fishing hole, apparently he is the only one getting fish. (Pictures to come, they are on Andrew's camera at the moment)



More to come later! Love!
