Hello out there!

Hi Friends! You may (or may not) have noticed I haven't posted in a while. I forgot how busy spring can be. Let me catch you up to speed:

- First, as I mentioned, Justin's mom came to visit.

- Then, we had a great day of outdoor climbing in Leavenworth (already our second of the season in spite of the rain).

- Then, we threw a good old fashioned American kegger for Kelly, who is moving to Paris(!), complete with a keg of local Elysian Avatar IPA, custom tees, slack lining, an Eiffel Tower pinata, and plenty of friends.

- Then, I had a fun time with the girls dining out at Volunteer Park Cafe (Kelly's new favorite restaurant).

- Then, I threw our first WTC (you'll soon find out...).

- Then, we went on an overnight paddle-camping trip with the Avalon Glassworks glassblowers, from West Seattle to Blake Island (guided by Alki Kayak Tours).

- Then we headed to Smith Rock for some amazing climbing and great campfire time. I have discovered that my new favorite s'more is a marshmallow sandwiched by two mint Grasshopper cookies. Mmmmm...

Needless to say, I have been busy, but I haven't forgotten you! See you soon!
