Last night we went up the canyon for one last refreshing bike ride before the rain starts coming. We had a pretty good ride, but when we got back to the car we found that someone had broken in and stolen our phones, JP's wallet, his sound system, i-pod, and xm radio (not that we needed all that to begin with, but it still hurts and we had a lot of info/pictures on our phones). JP kept saying that he was sure he locked the doors, but I was having a hard time believing him until we realized the meanie buppet (that's for you, Lor) sneaked (not snuck, that's for you Liz), into the back of the truck and smashed the windows in :( I lost all my contacts, soooo (that's for you, Alison) if you could please call or text me and let me know who you are, you might just get lucky enough for me to call you back... someday.
Don't forget to call or text me!!!

These sunflowers are all over the place. I think they're so pretty.
Happy crabbers! Do you think JP is sick of having his picture taken? He is so photogenic!
JP is really lucky and works with some pretty awesome people. Last week one of his co-workers took us crabbing. We caught tons of crab, but most of them were too small to take. The crabs we are holding were vicious and ripped each other's legs off. JP was scared to pick them up, but I wasn't! It was an overcast day and it started pouring rain. Good thing I am married to Mr. gear guy himself because we were more than prepared and we had an awesome time. His motto is, "You just gotta have the right gear." So true. Luckily, I think it's really pretty when it's overcast here and there's still a lot to do when it rains.
My dad actually mailed us our conference bowling game presents. Can you believe that? I had to take pictures because I have never been away from my family since the existence of the bowling game, and I had to prove to my dad that we held our own. Our set up was pretty pathetic considering we don't have a yard, we couldn't find a ball, and we used coolers and duffel bags in place of buckets. It just not the same without the family, but we managed to have fun. Thanks for the prizes dad! And yes, I do realize I look just like Carmen San Diego in this picture and should probably say goodbye to that hat.
There is a nature preserve park right next to where we live. It is beautiful. We love to go on Sunday walks there.
JP and I went to Portland to see the Matchstick Productions ski movie Claim. It was really good this year. After the movie they told us to stick around because Sweatshop Union was playing. I was pretty excited because we didn't even know they were going to be there until after the movie (this is one of Josh's favorite bands), and only about 20 people stayed to hear them play. I took this picture so I could mail it to Josh, and if we had a camera other than our phones it might have even been decent. I was loving it, but JP was really tired (he has to wake up around 4:30) so we only stayed for a couple of songs. As you can see, the next day I made him listen to them and have our own little dance party with the dogs. They make great dance partners!
