Seattle day 1

Truthfully I don't know if there will be a day 2 or three even though I will be here through Sunday. I have taken an extended break from blogging (life got in the way) which is both pleasant and annoying! I have only been here 4 hours but I have had a blast. Mr. Is coming Friday and I can't wait to share this fabulous city and view with him. I ate at a hip little place downtown. super atmosphere and amazing food. Though none of my Picts turned out as the lighting was so dark. My hotel overlooks downtown Seattle. I could stay in this bed and look at the view all day! (I wish I was artsy and could take a pict that would do this justice. Having a great time!

AMI Spring Break 2012!

Anna Maria Island is a very special place to Mr. and I. It is were Mr. decided he wanted to marry me, where we became man and wife, and where we have spent several wondrful times including this past week.

Indonesia Trip! Part 2

 Here are a couple more pics from our trip. This is me and Mr. in a bacha. This is the traditional form of transportation on the island. The man in the ball cap behind us is pedaling us along. 

 Here is a side view of the bacha. Mr. and I are hijacking it! 

Here is a picture of me and Mr. exploring a 900 year old Hindi Temple. 

Ryla Training 2012

10 years ago I went to RYLA as a Camper. RYLA stands for Rotary Youth Leadership Award and it is a weekend of teambuilding, high and low ropes course events, camping, cold, new friends, uncomfortableness, and being completely alive and happy. I went away from my Ryla experience with the knowledge that I could do things I did not think I could and now ten years later as a camp facilitator I get to give other High School Juniors that same experience! Totally siked. My Sis (who went to RYLA too) went with me and we spent the weekend training, Tune in in a month for the actual camp experience.

 This is a pic of my awesome sis and a friend and fellow facilitator climbing the Giant's ladder. 8 or 9 rungs high and the rungs get progressively wider as you ascend four stories in the sky.

 This is my sis when she and her partner made it to the top rung! (Her partner had already belayed to the ground.)

 This is another high course event. The Pamper Pole you scale it and jump off! This is "Number two" (that's the ryla name of my awesome teammate!)

 Me and the sis posing for a pic.

My sis is in the middle in action belaying a person on their team.

A great weekend and so glad that we could go back and give back.
