Got a new haircut! I felt like I needed a dramatic change to boost myself into interview mode! So, i traded in my long locks for a short bob to look more "business professional". Hope this brings some good job offers my way! :)
I surprised Kev at the last moment, he just thought I was going in for a "trim", but I neglected to tell him that trim was going to be 10" off of my ends!! ha Well luckily he likes it!!

Here's a video of one of our latest adventures!! We hiked through the Olympic National Forest! Zane had a blast!! This was before we knew he had Hip Dysplasia. We are continuing to pray for his recovery. Update: we are in process of scheduling his surgery.

While it's still summer here in Washington, I figured I would try to continue working on the garden infront of our rental home! This morning I was so excited to begin.. I went to home depot and bought lot's of plants and garden soil to finish the project - in hopes of surprising Kevin when he arrived home from work today.. Planted two bushes and pulled some weeds, then out of nowhere I began to get attacked by dozens of tiny spiders and giant white moths from the dirt below!! I put my project on hold for now, until Kevin can arrive home and protect me from all of these creatures with his strong arms and man-like qualities as men do!

I gave up and began doing something inside the house... Baking something sweet!!

I made homemade Power Bars! They smelled so delicious in the oven! Now the house smells like sweet fruity apple spices and cinnamon!! They took 5 minutes to prepare and 30 to bake! Best part is I already had most of the ingredients around the pantry! I added a hint of Cardamon to bring out the apple cinnamon flavors!
