An update

So, here's a well past-due update on our activities:

Sarah is still working at the day care (just approaching 3 months now) and is also working one on one with a girl with autism 2 evenings a week. In her spare time she tends to get sick (so far she's had three colds, two fevers, and one stomach bug). Health benefits coming soon! At least the work is fun :)

Jon successfully built his own guitar amp without being electrocuted:



He has also found a couple artists to record via craigslist. He recorded a two-song demo for a high school pop-punk band which can be heard here. He is also doing a bunch of songs with a pop/rock singer/songwriter that are yet to be completed. The pay isn't much at this point, but it's something. Next week Jon will also start tutoring two days a week.

We were happy to have a few friends visit last week. It was really refreshing to see some familiar faces! We enjoyed hanging out, trying new restaurants, and making butternut squash gnocchi with them. Yum!

We hope to have more visitors soon. This means YOU! We still don't have room for anyone to stay with us yet...but hopefully by fall. Well, we could accommodate one or two if you're willing to sleep on an air mattress in our kitchen/dining room. Just an idea.

Golden Gardens Park

A couple weeks ago we went to check out the sunset along the Puget Sound at Golden Gardens Park in Ballard. The colors weren't as vibrant as an Arizona sunset, but it was still really pretty. :)

Waiting for the sunset:

And finally, sunset:
