Wednesday, Cloudy, Rainy, Lazy

We only have 10 days (!!!) until WSU starts up again. I realize what a crazy luxury it is to have summers off, but wow, it's really hard to go back. I am teaching two classes in the fall, along with a bunch of administrative work. Jeff is teaching three. It's a new job for Jeff, so he's nervous and excited. Meanwhile, we're trying to enjoy these final days of summer, even though today doesn't feel much like summer at all. It's chilly, rainy, cloudy, and almost fall like. After days of 100 degrees though, I think I'm ok with this.  At least for now.

Today we both slept in a bit, Jeff walked the dog around the neighborhood, I did some work email, and then we both went to the gym. I'm trying to get back into better shape as I've been so busy this summer I never really worked out as much as I like to. Today I swam quite a bit and feel pretty good about it, but now I'm STARVING. We're home for the afternoon, just taking it easy. We'll probably both work on some course prep, make some dinner, watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer (we are on season 5), and then we're invited to our friend's Keri and Andy's house later this evening to catch up. They just got back from visiting family in New York so we want to hear how their trip went. 

Oh, and hey, here's a picture of me finishing the Sandpoint Longbridge Swim a few weekends ago. It is a 1.76 mile swim. I finished, but not as fast as I would've liked (see the part about not being in shape right now). Still, top 1/2 of my age group so that's ok. See how tired I look? But so happy? That was about right.

Anyhow, I thought I'd start up this blog to just give you a glimpse into what our daily lives look like, what we're up to, etc. I'll also get more pics of our house, our neighborhood, etc. I thought maybe it would help you envision our lives a bit more. Maybe it'll be helpful? Maybe not? Worth a shot :)
