Spokaloo Visit

Hello all. Sorry for the delay in posts. I've been away from an online computer for weeks, kind of like having an arm termporily removed. Anyway, here's a recap:

Erica and I packed up the Iowa City house, drove the U-Haul to Madison, unloaded and drove back to IC to finish cleaning up. Then, we went to Minneapolis for her sister's graduation, rushed to Madison that evening and jumped on a 9:00 a.m flight (in Milwaukee) to Spokane. Once we got home, things slowed down a bit. Over the week we went to an arena football game (It's another Dishman Dodge FIRST DOWN!), went hiking at Beauty Bay (rainy but dinner at Wolf Lodge was super!), saw lots of family and friends and even got to do some gaming. The biggest disappointment was getting rained out the day we were planning to go to the Renaissance Faire. (Sorry we missed it, guys.)

It's always so easy to be at home and so hard to leave. My biggest sacrifice on this career path has been the time away from my family and friends. I miss you all very much.
