I can't believe how lazy I have been

I have posted since May 5; that is just unacceptable. I have been incredibly busy at work lately. I normally post everything at work and the past couple of weeks has been a zoo. Just let me say one thing: Working with the Chinese Consulate is not always easy. I am sure they are a bit preoccupied with the major distasters in the recent weeks. but darn it, I am about to be become a major disaster if I can't GET SOME ASSISTANCE!!!!!!


At any rate, here is a quick run down of my life over the past two weeks. (Note..My friend always uses the LO to describe her baby, but I have converted it into the SO to describe my little one Sophia. Man I am just to witty)

1. The SO turned 3 and was completey spoiled by all of her gifts

2. On my quest to lose weight my better half and I spent entirely too much money on new Trek bikes. We have the most beautiful bike trail that runs along two rivers and goes into the foot hills of Mt. Rainier. Breathtakingly beautiful. Although the two bikes made a nice dent in our savings they were well worth the money.

3. Bought some new Chaco sandals. Love them...

4. Enjoyed the beautiful 90 degree weather this weekend. (It was hot!!!!, I know I sound like a wuss and I act like I have never endured the 115 degree with 90% humidity climate of KS., but come on people I don't have air conditioning here and I have already become acclimated to this place. In fact, it's our one year anniversary today. HAPPY ANIVERSARY!!! SEATTLE

5. I enrolled the SO in a full day Montessori school for the fall. Hopefully, this will give her the education she desperately needs. The home daycare provider is just not cutting it. I don't want to sound like I am bragging, but she is incredibly smart and is becoming way to bored and causing problems at her current daycare. This school is going to be a sacrifice financially, but I think it is going to be a great opportunity for her.

6. We camped in our backyard this weekend. The better half got a firepit for his birthday and we decided to break it in with smores and a small bonfire. Both the kids had so much fun. I must say that I am not tent material. I can't stand the lack of bathroom facilities so this was a stretch for me. I know..I know... it was only in my backyard, but dang, can't a girl get a break.

That is the past two weeks in a nutshell. Pinky Promise that I will post more;)
