Fall is here!

        I went to get the mail the other day expecting the usual... junk mail and bills.  As I shuffled through the pile there it was... Ski Magazine.   I excitedly found a comfy spot on the couch and flipped through the pages.  With the weather getting chilly, the 5 hour commute to Seattle and back to finish up my master's at the UW, and with Ski Magazine decorating our coffee table, there is no denying that fall is here.  Nick has been busy with work, just back from a week long class in Wisconsin, though I'm not sure if he recieved more education in his class or on his favorite beverage that he seemed to have explored each night while he was there.  He returned late Friday night, or rather extreemly early Saturday morning to catch a few zzzzzz's then return to work a few hours later.  Nick is finding himself busy at the end of September and into the begining of October with working overtime and into the night.  We hope perhaps with all his hard work we will find ourselves vacationing when I have completed school in March, if we can resist a ski vacation any sooner.
