What has Chris and Katrina been up to?

So Chris and I packed our things, said good-bye to our good friends that we might not see anytime soon in the future and did the 12 hour trek in the car to Washington...with a stop in Oregon.
We visited all of the family in Oregon for our one day stop in Hood River. Here is Chris getting to know one of the horses at Grampa Dennis and Grandma Berg's place.

Chris introduced me to the Talus caves in Issaquah after a mile or so hike (which included taking the wrong trail going uphill for an extra 5-10 minutes). Luckily we stopped after a while and Hailey found the right trail (it hadn't been maintained for a while so it was hard to pick out.
Me quite at awe at my first splunking trip... that's right. Splunking!
We found a little bat in the big cave. It was cute!
So hiking was fun and felt quite good. The only thing was that it made me realize how much I was out of shape. Hailey, Chris' ten year old little sister, was waaaay ahead with Chris just happily running up the trail with not a trouble in the world. In the meanwhile I was waaay in the back huffing and puffing like a 80 year old woman. Yes, it was sad but I guess it was a major wake-up call to start working out again. The only question is...do I have the discipline? ...*thinks* ......uhhh heeeee *sheepish grin*


As for summer jobs...Chris and I both have temp jobs with Nintendo doing assembly work..we're still waiting and looking for replies and a job that is more simulating with better hours. Here's hoping!

P.S. I have to add my 2 cents in here. Just because Katrina said that she was out of shape, I think I need to force her into running with me on all of the awesome Issaquah trails. Anyone who agrees, I need your support in this. And caving, that was the second time I have ever seen a bat in Talus caves, kinda weird. Maybe it was the same bat....

Hi Katrina,

The good news about you being in Washington is that it will be a lot easier for us to visit each other now! You and Chris are welcome to stay with us if you ever drop by the Calgary area... maybe one day we will be able to take time off work to visit you in Washington!
