The trip back to Olympia was absolutely wonderful. Perfect timing for a break from Pullman. The drive was hot and long and cats cried almost the whole time. Luckily my nephew decided to make his appearance into the world a little early and we got to meet him! He is so beautiful and Mikey and Emily are so lucky to have him. They are great parents. We also got to see my sister and her boyfriend Zach. It was good to see them too even if Melanie kept picking crappy movies :-p. Sure wish I was planning a trip to Disneyland with them. Stinking potential job and Chris' summer school.
Our favorite friends the Boyd's are back on the mainland after living in Hawaii for the past two years. We have missed them greatly and now that we have seen them again we have realized how much we have actually been missing them. Chris and I always try to compare people we meet to Shane and Mary but no one is like the Boyd's. We have yet to find many stable couples to form relationships with. Hopefully when we move to Clarkston and Vancouver we will be able to find people who have the same type of goals that we do unlike in this college town. So over the past week we were able to get in some quality time. The 4th of July party at Shane's dad's house was as great as ever. It was good to spend time with that part of our "family" again.
We also got to hang out with every other person we both are related to in the state of Washington. It is so nice to be able to go and come back in the same few days. Unfortunately with Chris' school going on this summer we had less time there than we wanted but depending again on the potential job situation for me, we want to go back in August.
All in all it was one great weekend.
