Weekend

Where has this week gone? It's already Wednesday.

This past weekend Mike and I went to see my family in Pasco, Washington and had a fun Saturday full of boating. I've been desperate to get a tan since I'm in a wedding in August and my own wedding is in October. Living in Portland doesn't really allow for much tanning time. We spent the whole day, about 7 hrs, on the river on Saturday and it was just nice to be with the family, relax, eat, and tan! Of course, it never fails, that the police had to stop in and do a boat check. I had to get a picture to document because I swear the cops are attracted to my family. :) But, I really couldn't have asked for a better weekend. I always love spending time with my parents. It was always a rare thing when I worked retail but now that I work a "normal" job I'm able to go visit them more which is a blessing.

Tonight is a CONGRATULATIONS dinner to Mike for accepting a new position as an account manager at Mentor Graphics. We are having dinner with his boss and friends from the office, not sure where we are going yet though. Mike is really excited about this new position, as am I. He is still employed through Securitas but managing one of their global accounts now. I think this new journey for him is going to be an amazing opportunity to further his career. These kinds of things are always a little bittersweet...it's sad leaving the people you work with and have come to love but so awesome to get new opportunities to learn and grow. He will also now be working Monday through Friday (with me!) and not have all the phone calls he does now. Literally, we can't even sit through a movie without his phone ringing. I'm so excited that we will have more time together and that he will be able to visit the parentals with me.

I can't wait to see what this year is going to bring for us!
