I haven't blogged for a while and I am sorry for the delay, for those of you who read this blog. I have not taken my computer out for some time and I have been in places where I haven't had the reception to do so.
I have been lucky enough to stay in Spokane for several days and my friend Cat calls it my "Northwest Basecamp." Max and I really enjoyed the company of Cat and her friends. During my stay, I was able to participate in many activities including going to the lake, concerts at the gas station, walking in the park, going on a merry-go-round, a trip to Idaho, eating a shrimp boil, herding cows at a working ranch, and many more fun things that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in if I didn't make the trip.
I especially enjoyed my time with my dear friend. Sometimes we get so caught up in doing our daily activities and responsibilities that spending quality face time with friends ends up towards the bottom of the list. As much as we can connect online with email and facebook, those things won't get you closer to the people you love as much as sitting in the same room for a chat will. I am lucky I had the opportunity to take the time to slow down a bit to catch up on each others lives.
After my short trip to Long Beach to attend the roller derby and catch up in my home town, I flew back to Spokane to stay another night and plan a few days ahead. Max had a great time playing with her dog, Bella and I had such a wonderful time with Cat's friends. Thank you to all of you who made me feel like part of the group.
As with all good bye's, this was a sad one but I know I will be back. Now it's time for Max and I to get on the road and head East. I will talk about our adventure in the next few days of blogs. Thank you for reading and for being a part of it with us! Also, a big thank you to the WSU design team and Danna Snow for allowing me to come in and photograph you!
