Becoming one with Nature

Being here in Spokane has been so much fun! I am finally starting to feel like I am not on vacation any more... and that we are really here to stay! We have been so busy lately getting to know the area and all that it has to offer. We spend most days working and at school... but when we get a break... it's the best! We recently bought a new couch... nice microfiber sectional.... so that was great! We also went to "Pig Out in the Park" which is basically people watching and fair food at it's finest. 

One of our favorite places to visit, walk around, play games, and just talk is Manito Park. I am obsessed with all the beautiful homes here and keep trying to convince Jared that being millions of dollars in debt is worth it.... (just kidding.) For now, we both continue to dream about it and pick up as many house flyers as we can :)

 Jared loves to snap random pictures of me..... and if this one wasn't blurry I would say he had talent.... but needless to say he makes me laugh all the time. It's great!

 Smelling flowers

 Again... random picture.

Jared's First day of School.

He told me he hadn't taken a first day picture since he was 5. 

I informed him that I had one every year.

Our compromise: He will take one each year he starts school (So for 2 more years) and our kids will have one each year as well.

<<Great compromise huh?>>

Anyway Jared loves school. And people love him. (Is anyone really surprised?) 

He has class every evening for a few hours and spends his time during the day studying and reading a lot. He has met some really cool people in his program... which means WE have already made friends! Huzzah! We love friends. 

And then one of our favorite things we have done!

We had some friends tell us about GreenBluff Farms.... basically a pick your own fruit and get attacked by a ton of bees in a beautiful orchard. We ended up forgetting cash.... so we only were able to get a few peaches but definitely ate most and made jam out of the rest! Next time... apples and pumpkins and their sweet corn maze! 

 

Also... we just became the newest members at Costco and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. I have tried for 10 months now to convince Jared that we needed a membership... and since our apartment complex offers $20 off we decided to do it!
