It has been a fun, busy couple of months for us! Adam recently finished up his second quarter with another perfect report card and plenty of incredible feedback from professors. We recently added another infant to the mix in my classroom, and have one more starting in April. It makes for some pretty busy days, but we have fun. I am currently trying to decide what to do next year, whether it be follow my infants up or move to the preschool age.
We celebrated Trixie's birthday in February with a night of good friends, fun, and dancing!
Not long after her birthday, we were so happy to welcome back our favorite San Luis Obispo based band, Stilltime, for the Seattle-stop on their national tour. We had a great visit with our friend Nick and his bandmates, and as usual, they put on a great show!
Adam went to Chicago for the annual NASPA conference in March and had a great time networking with other professionals, spending time with some Seattle U colleagues, and reconnecting with some Cal Poly friends. He also took the opportunity to explore the city a bit and had a wonderful time!
Like I said, we have been thankful for some days of beautiful weather. One warm day, we jumped at the chance to be outside and headed to Volunteer Park for a stroll and game of bocce ball. As always, Adam was the winner, but I'd like to think that I held my own.
To cap off Adam's recent spring break, we traveled into the mountains of central Washington for a weekend trip with some good friends. Tobey the Toyota (my car) experienced its first drive through the snow to ultimately end up in sunny Leavenworth, a cute Bavarian town at the Riverdance Lodge, where we spent the weekend chatting by the river, relaxing in the hot tub, playing games, and hiking. We snapped many photos with the beautiful views that surrounded us.
On the way home, we did stop in the snowy pass to throw some snowballs. It was undoubtedly an adventure!
In the coming weeks, Adam will start spring quarter, I will take a test to finish transferring my teaching credential to Washington, and we hope to head north to experience the annual Tulip Festival. We are anxiously awaiting the warm, sunny spring weather so we can continue to explore more aspects of our new home. We also hope the nice weather will bring us more visitors like you! If you plan any trips to the Northwest, keep us posted!
Feel free to respond and tell us how you are doing! We miss you!
Love,
Erin & Adam
