Getting Back on the Blog Horse

Well seeing at our last post was on July 25th, it's been quite awhile since either of us blogged.  So for anyone that is interested in what we've been up to since then, here we go.

I'd love to say that we've been adventuring so much around Eugene that we've barely had time to sit and type, but that's bull.  The day after we finished our term papers for summer classes out computer crashed.  We took it in, found out we needed the hard drive replaced and decided to wait until we get some extra financial aid, so 2 months away.  It's annoying to blog on our iPad and phones, and didn't visit the library once school ended.  We figured we would blog once we got our computer fixed.  Alas, we finally get our computer looked at and they cleaned it out, avoiding needing a new hard drive.  But then the battery wouldn't hold a charge, and now finally after 6 months we have a computer again.

I thought now would be a great time to sit down and write about some fun things that we have done since July.

I ran Hood to Coast in August and ran my fastest 7 miles yet (thanks to a giant downhill slope on Mt. Hood).  Good times and sore muscles were had all around, and we raised enough to repair a well.  I plan to run again next year, hopefully doing the same leg as I did this last time.  Once I got my 7 mile run out of the way, the 4 and 3 mile ones were pieces of cake.


We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary on August 24th and celebrated at Ringside Steakhouse in Portland.  Lightly breaded mouth watering onion rings were followed by juicy rib eye and prime rib steaks.  We ended with a creme brulee and 2 extremely full stomachs.


School began in September, plunging us into the ocean of school and work.  We did other fun things in the summer, but feel those photos and stories are better for their own post.
