Office move joke

So, there were recently some office moves that people weren't to thrilled about. A couple of our executive assistant type employees were relocated to across the wall from Greg and I so as a joke, this was placed at their desk so as to welcome them to their new work station. Ha ha ha....as if nbs would ever really do something like this!

2008-10-12 moab

Today, even though it was Sunday, we didn't go to church. Instead, we spent the day out in the outdoors enjoying the creator's work. We woke up and made some breakfast (pancakes, eggs & sausage) and then loaded up for some bike riding. We headed into town to check out the visitors center for some information regarding the local trails and decided we'd ride one in the morning and then one in the afternoon. We headed first out to the Monitor and Miramax trail. The trail seemed pretty simple and straightforward so we felt good about what we were setting out to accomplish. The ride started out pretty well until my front tire got caught in the sand at the bottom of a hill and I did a little endo. Luckily, there was quite a bit of sand so the landing was fairly soft. Upon getting up, I realized the my front tire had come off in the wreck so that took some evaluating to ensure everything was in order and then off we were again. The ride consisted of some fairly soft sand interspersed along a four-wheeler trail-type road. While the road wasn't bad to ride on, the sand made for some interesting challenges. A little further into the trail, we were climbing up some rocks and I made the mistake of trying to shift gears and broke my chain. Lucky enough for me, once again, I have a pretty sweet bike tool that I carry with me and I was able to put the chain back together with the help of Jeremiah and Lance. Once again, we were off on the trail. The ride from that point on was a little smoother regarding my bike. The views and scenery were amazing. It was incredible to be there amongst these rock formations that are so wonderous. We finished the ride and loaded up the bikes to head off and find somewhere to eat lunch. We drove up towards the Pot Ash area and checked out some of the rock climbers on our way to find a picnic area. The rock climbers were so much fun to watch and it made me want to try it though not anything like what they were climbing. After watching them for a little while we headed further up the road and ended up at Gold Bar Recreation Area. We found a picnic area and made some lunches and then went down by the river for a little bit and hung out. We stopped by the campground to fill up our water packs and then headed down to Hurrah Pass. Turns out, this ride wouldn't be as entertaining and I think a combination of being tired from the morning ride and most of the ride being uphill, we didn't last a real long time on that trail. We headed back into town and found our way to Eddie McStiff's for some dinner. Dinner was pretty good, a little spicy, but good overall. We stopped by City Market for some cookies and ice cream and then back to the campground for some relaxing in the hot tub. The pool and hot tub closed at 9 so once that time came, it was off to the showers to get cleaned up and head to bed. All in all, pretty awesome day. This area is beautiful and we're lucky to live so close.

Pics will be coming!

Mexico - Andy's dinner

Chicken Mole (pronounced mol-a, the "a" is similar to how you would say ole') - Those are black beans on the right with some rice next them. Over the rice is a grilled chicken breast smothered in a nice mole sauce topped with some sliced avocado. This dish is served over a banana leaf so as to help keep everything study.

Mexico - Dianna's dish

BBQ salmon - a nice serving of salmon cooked in a sweet but spicy BBQ sauce served over some chipotle flavored mashed potatoes. A few stems of asparagus along with some sliced zucchini are added for some additional flavor and aesthetic appeal. The dish is topped off with a sliced plantain and completed nicely with a island flower.

July 4th Fireworks


One of Dianna's co-workers, Amy, was nice enough to give us the key to her apartment which overlooks Lake Union. This also happened to be the lake where they were lighting off the fireworks for Seattle which provided us a great view. We went up to the roof of her apartment building where people had been BBQ-ing and drinking and hung out for a bit waiting for the fireworks and then enjoyed the show that Seattle had to offer.

Happy 4th of July!

July 5th


Hello from Seattle. This morning has been another lazy morning which has been very nice! I slept in until about 9:30 and then we've just been kind of hanging out for a while doing about as little as possible. Yesterday was a pretty cool day though. We had so much fun at the Mariner's game! We were just past third base in the 9th row. The weather was almost perfect, partly cloudy for most of the game so it wasn't to hot, and a nice breeze kept the air moving and the temperatures just right. We went up to the top of the stadium towards the end of the game for a few minutes to snap some photos of the city before heading back into downtown to catch a movie.

July 4th update

So, its about 12:30 here and we're on our way to the Mariner's game. Last night we celebrated Tim's birthday (Cindy's boyfriend) which was quite a bit of fun. This morning we slept in and then ate some cool ranch Doritos for breakfast mmmm! Then I had a nap and now we're on our way to the game. After the game we'll catch a movie and some dinner and then head over to Amy's (dianna's co-worker) house to watch the fireworks.

Happy 4th of July!
