Where is the blue sky?

Alex and I have been living outside of Seattle, Washington (Bellevue to be exact) since May 3rd. I knew that it rained a lot in Washington, but I never thought about what that would do to the sky. It is always gray. Only one out of the five days has there been a blue sky. I am really missing the sun.

There are a lot of pluses to living in Washington too. Outside our apartment is a pond that always has ducks and geese. It is very green here, which makes walks extremely pleasant. Overall, we have been having a great time!

Moab Trip


After graduation, we went with Alex's family to Moab for a few days. Some of the places we hiked to included: delicate arch, double arches, and canyon lands.

On the other side of the delicate arch, we found a duck head carved in the rock. Can you find the head?


Here are a few more pictures of Moab:



We also celebrated Ken's birthday and attended a classic car show.


Graduation

Alex and his sister Emily graduated on April 25th. It was somewhat anticlimactic. Alex is returning in the fall for a PhD and Emily is taking classes during the Spring to finish her degree. However, it's nice to have a degree.


Kate is excited for her siblings.

Mom isn't the tallest person in the family.


The whole fam (minus Ruachel).


Ruachel's family also came up to celebrate graduation.
