This is the weirdo tree I run by every morning:

And this is the cat that hangs above my bed to make my room a little more happy:

My backyard. Love. Love. Love.

These are all the new pets Melissa and I have in Washington.

The deer are completely unafraid of people, this is how close Melissa got to them our second day here.

This is my duck that says hello when I sit on the porch. His name is Bowser (thanks Jan).

This is Crawl the Warrior King. Melissa and I love him.

This is Crawl in action, he's a crazy little guy.

This is our pet Sarah. She needs no explanation.

Our missionary is home! I flew in Wednesday morning about 30 minutes before Joe and I got to meet him at that gate, it was so fun! I'm so glad Joe is home safe and happy now. He was a fabulous missionary but we're glad he's back- especially Mommy! Welcome home Boe!!

Joe & Sue at the gate!

We love our missionary!

Harman's Reunited!

Joe brought me the coolest present ever... That's right! I'm dangerous now!

Our internet doesn't work at the lodge but I'm trying to remedy that. For now I'm just sharing some pictures so everyone can see the beautiful place I'm living. I feel like I'm living in a different world right now. It's so stunning and peaceful here and I love it. These pictures don't do it justice but hopefully they'll give you just a little idea of my life right now!

Yesterday we spent the day in Seattle and it was so much fun! We spent most of the time at Pikes Market and then went to a random little seafood restaurant for lunch that was so good. If we weren't staying in a hotel right now I would have brought home a giant lobster tail and grilled it up for dinner!

I am very protective of my friends and their feelings. Especially when it comes to boys. So yesterday I created this application for boys to fill out if they're interested in any of my friends. I've already emailed one out... Enjoy!
