Feeling good...

about being charitable. Yesterday I chopped off a foot of my hair to donate it to Locks of Love. In addition, the hair salon that cut it was putting on a fundraiser for Cory Mackay, so all of the money went to help pay his medical bills and expenses. I am still getting used to my new cut, it is a little shorter than I'd originally anticipated, but am happy to have done something good to help others.

Joe and I only have a couple of weeks left of our crazy drive-a-thon summer. Here are some pics from our most recent adventures, including a 48-hour 22-mile hiking extravaganza, trip to the Grand Coulee Dam, and our first concert together at Marymoor Park!

Look at that water! The North Cascades are SO pretty

Checking out the Grand Coulee Dam

So big it won't fit into my viewfinder! FYI- there is enough concrete in the dam to make a sidewalk go around the equator not once, but TWICE. That is big.
