Wahington Update
















We thought it was time for a Washington update! We are getting ready to depart WA soon and head for Omaha, NE. I know, we are crazy but Ben applied for an Electrician job with the railroad and we have a lot of family in the area so we will settle there for a while! I have taken another traveling assignment there. Washington has been very adventurous and exiting. We feel like we have been on a extended vacation (but you have to work) Ben’s Dad came to see us a couple of weeks ago and we went to Canada which was fun! We also had a great Halloween, Morgan was Cinderella and she was a hit. Grandma Mary is coming in a week and she is going to drive back with us, which will be so nice, and Morgan will love it! Well I posted some pictures of our trip to Canada and Halloween. We hope everyone is healthy and happy. I can’t believe Christmas is just around the corner. We will be in Sioux City, IA for Christmas this year, both our families will be there and we will be celebrating my little sister Jackie’s graduation from nursing school! The pictures are from Vancouver, Canada. We went to a botanical garden and downtown Vancouver that is awesome.

Rain Anyone??










Well the rain has set in! We had a great weekend this past weekend. We took a bike ride about 20min away in the North Bend area, the bike ride was beautiful and at the end you hike down to a rain forest atmosphere to the largest waterfall I have ever seen! The amount of foliage and trees was amazing. The tree's branches grow thick moss that makes them look so cool. The weather was nice until the way back to the car then the rain settled in and it became a little chilly. I think you can count on a little rain throughout your day in the fall/winter time. Yesterday we went back to the market and bought fresh flowers,vegetables, and fruits. We hope everyone had a great weekend. For those of you in Rapid City, Morgan and I will be there on Oct. 18th and would love to see you! Have a great week. Above are some pictures we took this weekend!

A Great Weekend






















This last weekend was awesome! We spent the whole weekend with our friends the Kuemper's. Sat. we went to the Puyallup, WA fair and it was huge. I think it is like 500 acres, and it felt like it never ended with rides, food, souvenir's, and different stands. Then on Sunday we went to Pike's Market in Seattle and this was my favorite. It was endless stands of fresh fruit, flowers, fish, vegetable, and everything you can think of. This was my favorite spot so far and we will defiantly go back soon! We ended our day with a trip to the beach and relaxed on the sand and watched about 10 cruise ships go by! It was a great weekend and I will attach some pictures below. Hope everyone is doing great! Have a great week!
