Been a while

Sorry it has been a while, but here are a few updates.
Still looking for work, but staying busy most of the time.
Attic work is slow. I've done some painting with the help of my mother in law, Bob has put up lights, and we might get to the backerboard in the shower tonight.
I've been volunteering with the Kitzhaber and Schrader campaigns and calling voters is hard. 50 my first day and then 38 today.
Went to a class with my sister and dad last weekend about land management, garden pests, composting toilets and trees and much was learned.
I might be my professional board's (AIA) president elect next year. I've been secretary the last two.
I'm enjoying Pilates on Tuesday and Thursdays and hope to swim with Cait on Monday's.
This week I'm looking forward to a lecture Thursday about whales and critter cams that are attached to them and a tour of the State Hospital on Friday.

Willamette National Forest

Pretty falls and tasty mushrooms while the boys mountain bike.

Attic goes on

Even though I am unemployed, we have decided to continue moving forward with our remodel. We already had most of these costs figured into our budget, we'll see when it comes to the next step though. Here are the most recent pictures!
