cabo wabo

hi, this is megan. just this last week, my good friend sarah and i just got back from a week vacation in the sun in cabo, mexico. aaron graciously allowed me to use a companion pass to take sarah with me for my birthday (aaron didn't go because he had school...and because he would have hated the HOT weather in mexico). we had been planning for over a month to go to mazatlan...we had our hotel booked and everything. well the joy of flying standby...when we got to LAX to catch our flight to mazatlan, the flight was oversold and we didn't make it on. there is only one flight out of LAX to mazatlan a day, and the flight the following day was oversold also. so sarah and i were sitting in the LA airport trying to decide what we were going to do when these two women approached us and said that they overheard us talking about our dilemma. to make a longer story shorter...they had a timeshare in cabo that they had already paid for and were not using. they offered the timeshare to us for a great price and there was a flight leaving for cabo in an hour. SO we hopped on the plane and landed in cabo 2 hour later! it seriously felt like we were on the amazing race!

who's on first?

so funny.

Autumn

Autumn is on it's way, and I am ready for it. We had a nice bit of
rain the last couple of days which was refreshing and reminded me of
the pacific northwest again... I am proud to admit that I am one of
those who embraces the Seattle weather and the rains that come with
it. (megan is already showing signs of seasonal affective disorder)
and as you can see, the leaves have already begun to fall and minutes
after this picture was taken we had a bit of hail as well.

School is well under way as I am entering my fifth week. So far so good, I am really enjoying it even though life has become more and more busy. For megan and I, we are learning to embrace the time that we get to spend with eachother as we often can go several days when all we can have time for is a high five or a quick bite to eat as one is coming and the other is going... But we do have each other and I know I couldn't be happier.

appendicitis?

my younger brother jake was taken to the er this afternoon and they discovered that he has an Appendicitis... he is having surgery some time tonight... please pray for him and my family. thanks

trippple play

all of that junk mail from comcast finally paid its toll on us and we signed up for a home phone. we have officially joined the 509... we are cutting back on the cell phone minutes so try us at home first.

thanks.

busy summer

our summer has been jammed pack. megan and i are both looking forward to fall... well, i know i am :) megan would probably prefer that summer lasted a couple more months... school starts up for me next week and with that comes stability to our schedule. here are a few highlights from this last month. we had some good times, lots of time on planes and the rare occasion that found us in the automobile.

this week i flew on four consecutive days. megan and i flew to seattle on monday to hang out with ryan and emily (emily it was great to meet you, even if you did try to give us mono), then flew back to spokane on tuesday so that i could work that night. wednesday i flew to seattle and picked up my friend chappy and we headed down to san fran for some quality time before he and his family moved down to nola. we stayed the night and headed back on thursday. good times with great friends!

i would tell you the name of the pizza we had, but i would need you to fill out a disclosure stating you where 18 years or older... you can only find a place like this in san francisco.

next i had the pleasure to once again make my way to daroga state park for summer safari. megan was camp nurse and i was the MC and one of the speakers. it was a great week, probably one of the best all around camps that i have been apart of. It was great to see a lot of familiar faces and some new ones. this is me and jay making up a bunch of rubbish as we attempt to explain the rules to dye wars.

the last day of camp a couple of us staff people hijacked one of the boats and got in some tube time... patrick got the short straw. on the outside of the patrick sandwich was, big bear... and bigger bear... phil is a little creatively challenged at times.

family reunion in moses lake for megan's mom side of the family. megan with cousins paige, aka "pp" and ashley, aka "munchkin".

check out the form... bowling is cheap in moses lake, we payed $1.25 each.

megan and i spent sunday afternoon at fost falls food fest to watch our good friend austin jam away with his band. it was over 100 degrees, even the shade could not keep the sweet from running off the tip of my nose. does anyone notice something different about megan...?

small town

this was taken in a small town we drove through on our way home from oregon. i dont even think there was a gas station.

wallowa lake

megan and i went camping this last weekend for our one year anniversary. wow. it has gone by fast. we went to megans childhood camping spot at wallowa lake in northeastern oregon. it was great. and thanks to those of you who got us the camping stuff for us off of our registry, we put it to good use.


we switched things up the last night... after dinner i did the cleaning up and megan tackled the fire. (thankfully no one was hurt in the making of the fire.)

late nite cards... who gots the better poker face?

jens wedding

we all headed to mcpherson, kansas for my cousin jen's wedding... the wedding was an hour from wichita, and i could get megan, my mom, and me there on stand-bye, but jakes ticket would have been $700 on frontier airlines... so the closest i could get all of us non-reving was dallas fort-worth. (the price of the rental car and gas was half the price of jakes ticket) which was nice, cause with the price of gas and all the flying we do, we havent gotten much time on the road. we got the last four seats on the plane (none together) and had a 6 hour drive waiting for us. wichita is hot and windy, not my cup of tea... we ate good food and celebrated with the bride and groom and all the family. we left the reception at 10:00 pm and drove through a sweet lightning storm to make our 7:30 am flight out of dallas. aint non-reving great.

jen graduated from central christain college in mcpherson kansas... which just happens to be the same little college in the middle of kansas that megans dad went to. megan couldnt see what face i was making.
