Moving

So.  I moved to Washington state in December. Into a little one bedroom apartment.  Me and daisy,my dog. 

The family had now joined me and it's time to move again.  This time into a house for all of us but it is a process.  The PODS arrived yesterday and the movers are coming today.  Then we have to pack up my little apartment and move it as well.  Good times!!!

Probably no workout today figure I will get my fair share with lifting etc. 

Bridal Veil Falls

So a nice hike with the family.  It was pretty much uphill most of the way there which made for a fair amount of grumbling from the kids, but what goes up must go down, so a pretty fast return to the car. Though going down with a dog on a leash isn't the easiest.

This is the view close to the top and as a family unit we were close to stopping at this point but just around the corner is this view.

So it is definitely worth the final push up the "steps" to reach to top.  Plus the mist off the falls makes for a nice swamp cooler to cool off before the fast descent.

Prior to this I figured out the course for my new commute to work.  Its only about 9.8 miles but its not a gimme.  There are a couple of stiff up hills.  My HR info wasn't coming across to the Garmin, but i say 178 at one point, and thats just trying to get there, NOT trying to go fast.  Today I plan to ride the reverse and see what going home from work will feel like.

Movers come tomorrow.  soon to have the clan out of the 1 BR apartment.  It will be nice to have some space.

Still eating like crap and drinking too much, but this is vacation.

Thats all for now.

Life

Life is amazing.  And scary.....luckily for us all is a combination of all things.  I'm not a blogger but I just need a place to store my thoughts so this will be a diary of sorts.

I am now 5 months into a new phase of life.  I quit my job,  and started a new one in the pacific NW, specifically the Seattle area.  My family has now joined me so we are a unit again.  Its good to be all together though it will be nicer when we are out of my 1BR apartment.

So in the days and weeks to follow I will just detail LIFE.  Food, exploration, exercise ( if i ever do any), family, and anything else that pops into my brain.  Probably better entitled musings of a middle aged MAMIL.
