Greetings from Washington! We were feeling like we should at least share a hello with those of you who keep up with us this way. Things are going well and we have actually been getting to enjoy some time together!
Carole is staying about 1/2 busy subbing, and picking up a few hours on the challenge course here at camp as well. She isn't doing the cooking here, the schedule with the other cook just wasn't working out. We'll see how things go and maybe find another part time job for the weekends if that seems to be needed! She is having a great time on the days she does sub, a lot of those days have been at Larrabee Elementary, the school she interned at, so it is comfortable and fun!
Brandon continues to stay pretty busy with work, but this year is nice in that Carole can take a day off with him during the week. We have been doing some hiking, stuff around the house, and sleeping in! His latest project has been trying to speed up the internet in our apartment so that he can MarioKart online. This has been hampered somewhat by the rain that has once again started. It would seem that this is not the year of sunshine and warmth here in Bellingham. He continues to think a bit about what he might like to do if/when he leaves camp, but things aren't going too badly as far as camp goes. They continue to say things like "right now we have the money to pay you through December" which is more than a little stress-inducing!
Smokey is doing well, he has been liking the hikes we get to do, and is back to chasing the geese off the water front. He is also busy training us in our parental skills, the other night he started retching and Carole sat straight up and yelled "your dog is going to puke!" while simultaneously Brandon went bounding out of bed and ran Smokey outside. We laughed afterwards that if we have a real baby we'll have to relearn the appropriate response and not throw them out on the porch!
Our only big news lately is that we are going to be godparents, Cailyn asked us via video chat and of course we said yes! We are definitely going to be the coolest godparents ever, we have already found an awesome Christmas present :)
I guess that is about it, hope you are all well and having a wonderful Fall!
