hobbies & whatnot

some fun new things going on since we came back from vacation...

luke and i (and payton and sarge) decided to move to a bigger place that accomodates all of us. finally! we found a cute house (4 bedroom, 2.5 bath with a yard!) just up the road that we're going to rent for a year...that is, until we save enough for house purchase! we move in august 10th and although i'm dreading the packing part, i am excited to have a little more storage space..for all my shoes, of course! this is a big step for luke and i as well and we're pretty thrilled. will post pictures soon...

the next fun thing..mom came out this past week and she, pops, luke and i made it down south to see james taylor in concert-a great show! we also visited vancouver (pop's birth place, where relatives lay at rest and my grandparent's old houses)...it's such a cute little (growing) town and it was fun to see "kiggins" on lots of buildings and the movie theater.

work is going well, just extremely busy, as i decided to supervise a new grad student through her clinical fellowship year...time consuming, but kind of fun at the same time. how easily i've forgotten starting off in my career and how fast time goes (i've almost completed 3 years since graduating!).

finally, i've been trying to get back into photography and love the feedback from everyone on pictures here and there. i bought myself a nice canon a while back and am (slowly) getting back into it. the plan is to continue one of my passions...thought i would post a couple recent pics that turned out kind of cute (in my mind anyway! ;)

hope everyone is enjoying these last days of july! love to all...

ps the baby is my cousin, cj. :)
