Exciting times!

Life is so exciting I can't stand it. Jay's birthday party was fun, now we have friends arriving from Alaska this week and then we're going to Blake Island for 4 days to celebrate our 10th anniversary along with friends and fam! And, work is winding down for the year and I'm going to the UK to visit dear friends for 10 days. When I come back, it will still be summer and lots of hiking and camping adventures to be had! Yay! Can hardly stand it.

Jay was supposed to guest blog here about the Swiftsure

But, we keep not getting around to that, so I'll try to summarize:

"It's like going into your bathroom with four friends and shutting the door. While you're in there, the bathroom goes into the back of a truck which is driven around fast over potholes. While this is happening, two of you must be in the shower, one of you must be lifting weights, one of you must be playing chess by phone with someone on the other side of the world, while one of you sleeps in the cupboard under the sink. Every two hours you switch, and you do this for 30 hours. And, it's great."
