life lately according to my iphone

Last week, before a tearful goodbye to my husband for the summer, I hopped a ride on their boat across the locks.  The Seattle locks takes boats from freshwater Lake Washington to salt water in the Puget Sound. It is always fun to head through the locks because you feel a little like you are on display with everyone on land watching the boats coming and going.

Here is the crew of the Ariel:
I'm choking back tears here...

The final farewell

After saying bye, I hoped in my car and headed over to Coeur d'Alene to spend some time with my family. The Ironman triathlon was on Sunday, so we all woke up at 6:00 am and hopped in our boat to watch the swim start. This triathlon is a doozy! A 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile run! It is insane and inspiring to watch.

  

I prefer to be drinking coffee at 6am versus swimming...but that's just me!

Only in Idaho do you see a moose run in front of your house! 

How has your week been so far!?

Life has been extremely busy as of late! Brian leaves for Alaska (he's a commercial fisherman) on Saturday, so we have been trying to squeeze in dates, friends, family, and generally getting him organized. I can't believe it's already that time of year again to send him off for 11 weeks...summers now are bittersweet.
