Heading out to the west coast

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, I'm heading out to Portland/Beaverton tomorrow the 6th of July and then heading up to Seattle from there. I will be returning to Houston on the 14th of July. I am extremely excited to visit the NW and very happy about being able to see Martha and Kevin and Brooke and Rich...it's a much needed opportunity to get out to Nike WHQ as well so that I can start networking my way into corporate!!! That's the hope at least.

Sorry that I haven't been in contact with everyone a ton. I've been trying to get everything in order prior to going on vacation. I have a feeling it's going to be an interesting work place by the time I get back.

See you all soon!!!

Some tidbits from NYC

No, he didn't say 'Ze plane, ze plane.' - Zachary's first plane ride

"I like this grass thing." - playing in Central Park

"This is making me dizzy." - Zachary's first carousel ride

"This is fun." - Zachary sitting on the Alice in Wonderland statue

"We can't go if I stay in here." - Zachary wants to keep playing in NYC

Returned from New York

We just returned from our trip to New York City with Samantha's mother and Grand-mother. Zachary had a ball, particularly while riding in Taxi Cabs, playing at Central Park, and at Yankee Stadium. I had no interest in visiting Shea Stadium because it was a dive 40 years ago when it opened.

Anyway, we had a complete blast and can't wait to take Zachary in the future to actually experience New York for himself.

We are moving!!!

We bought a new house and we are moving this weekend!!! I will post some pictures and more info later.

The address is: 1980 SW Filmont Ave Portland, OR 97225

Phone numbers will stay the same.

Stay tuned..........................

Zachary's Six Month Pictures

Here are some choice pics from a session we had on March 21. Zachary had shots this day and was still a cute little trooper.

We had a grand time with our visitors for Zachary's baptism. Fiesta has come and gone, and the weather is beautiful.

I hope that everyone is doing well.

first timer

So we will see if this finally works. I don't know why it never worked before but for some reason I wasn't considered a part of the naked turkey team...

Life has been crazy, I'm living in Houston. I have been out here for a little over a month now. I'm still working for Nike, however I did get to take another promotion to come out here. I'm very happy about that. I am the assistant store manager out here for the new Houston store. Since we opened we have made 1 million dollars. To put things in perspective, this Thursday will be our 3 week anniversary. So yes I'm a little bit tired from work and everything that goes along with it.

I did however manage to cut away from work this past weekend and venture out to Va for Erika's wedding. I had a fantastic time and was very happy to see the family that was there and some of the friends that made the trip out. Of course my liver is not very happy with me:)

I will be making the trip down this weekend to SA and will be coming in on Saturday night, probably leaving Monday morning. We might have to leave on Sunday night.

What happened this weekend?

I participated in my first mini-Triathlon over the weekend. It was at our gym, Life Time Fitness. I had a lot of fun, and performed at about the rate I would expect. This indoor event included a 10 minute swim in the lap pool, a 30 minute bike ride, and 20 minute run. Even though my position isn't that great, I really pushed myself.

Now on to Zachary. Z began eating green beans over the weekend. He really likes it, but we have to sing to him in order to get him to finish all his food. With real food, comes real poop. It's not the most enjoyable experience I've ever partaken in.

Martha, it's only a little more time until you get to spend the weekend with the little guy! We are quite excited, and Zachary is also squirming with excitement.

I'll post pictures later.
