Announcing our Engagement!

On the Summer Solstice, in the fjords of Norway, beneath the Bøyabreen glacier, on the edge of the Brevatnet lake, Ryan asked me to marry him and I said yes. We haven't set a date yet, but we're aiming for April. Hooray!

This weekend I got...

1) A cold
2) A new computer!



I bought the whole set up--computer, monitor, 3-in-1 printer, and all the accessories from Best Buy today for $600. Now there's nothing holding me back from posting those Iceland pictures!

Too bad I don't have a comfy chair to go with my new set up...

Happy 4th of July!

Yesterday Ryan and I decided to go down to Gasworks Park to see the fireworks show on Lake Union. We arrived at 11am for a show that started at 10pm. We spread out our picnic blanket and camped out with our cooler and books for a day in the sun. By the time the fireworks started there wasn't a square foot available in the park to squeeze another body into, but we had a great view of a great show! Pictures here.

It was fun and now that we've done it we never have to do it again! ;-)

Back to the real world

We had a great time in Norway and Iceland! Now we're back in the real world of laundry and work. No pictures to show you yet, but I'll leave you with a few teasers from Iceland...
