Lovin' Life

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Western Washington. I know. I complain about it alot. It rains 90% of the time, the speed limit is 35 mph, and if I forget to recycle something I have 5 people jumping on me in a minute. But, If I take the time to push those petty issues aside, I realize there are some pretty amazing benefits to living in our new home. For example, yesterday we reached the highest temperature of the year. Drum roll please...........92 degrees. That is a full 20 degrees above the average for this time of year. I can just see all ya'll in Arizona salivating right now. We decided to take advantage of the beautiful, although unseasonal, weather and discover the outdoors. We had a picnic beside the lake that is 10 minutes from our home. After that, we went for a swim in it along with the rest of the free world. Also, in keeping with our nature-loving trend, we spent our date night out in the rain forest (literally, I swear!) making s'mores and reconnecting after a very busy week. Here are some pics from the second half of our adventure. (C'mon! Did you really think I would include pictures of me in a swim suit?!)
