The Start of 2005

We began 2005.....

With a nice weekend trip to the coast to see friends.

Here I am with Dana in her house. Dana and I know eachother from college back. We've both moved out west got married and
Thank the Lord,
Still keep in touch so we can revert back to using our midwestern accents. Yes, ......we know we have an accent!



Here are Justin and I on the beach of the Pacific Ocean. It was a pretty windy day! But, still beautiful as ever. FYI, the coast is pretty chilly most of the year....and the rain, don't get me started with the rain!


In April, Justin and I got the opportunity to move from our one bedroom apartment in town to a little one bedroom cottage in a small rural community. It was an...intersting house. No level floors, only white primer on the walls, and spiders everywhere. However, we moved in and made it our own. It sure became a cute place after a while. Some might say we "put lipstick on a pig".

Being in this area has a few perks. One of those is that we live near a wonderful picturesc river. It is so beautiful and fun to raft in. But, more than that, it's great for throwing rocks! Here is Justin and Cody playing.
