The Last Days of Summer: Seattle
Wow, loyal readers, I can't believe it's November already! I know I haven't posted in a while, so you'd have to be really loyal to still be checking back.
As for the rest of my summer, which I promised I'd fill you in on, I was in Seattle. Sam and I went out at the beginning of August. He was working and I was looking for a job. Though the Firm I worked for had treated me well and was filled with great people, Sam and I want to be in Seattle. Unfortunately, my search was not successful, and I'm still trying to find a firm out there that wants to hire me.
I did get in some hiking while I was out there. I climbed Hidden Lakes Peak, and let me tell you, it was one of the best hikes I've ever done. The weather was perfect, cloudy in the morning with no rain and sunny in the afternoon. It made for a hike at a pleasurable temperature with stunning views from the top.
Here's a view from the trail on the way up.
This is the hidden lake in Hidden Lake's Peak.
And here's the view of Mount Raineer, which I intend to climb some day.
Eden and Tym also came up to see us for a few days. They stayed at the house we were renting from a friend of Sam's. It was so nice to have a house that we stayed home almost every night they were in town. I miss these ladies terribly, and I can't wait until we are both back on the same side of the continent. Here's a picture of them which they probably wouldn't want me to post.
The only other big news is that I am now an uncle! My beautiful neice Anya, born on the same day as my dad, is pictured below. Way to go Sean and Amy!
Besides that, there really hasn't been much to update you on since I got back to school. I've been studying a lot. All my classes are unfortunately reading intensive. Sam and I are trying to get out and see the city a little more, with some success.
