Nothing Special, Just an Update

I'm doing an update to further procrastinate some paperwork I should probably get done for work, oh well. We're doing well. I (Jon) started work at another clinic about 3 weeks ago. I miss some of the kids I was working with quite a bit, but I think the new place is a better fit for me overall. I'm in an orthopedic clinic, which is much more along the lines of what I'm interested in. I also spend a couple hours a week in home health and at an extended care center. The big downside is that Lori and I have to go 10 hours at a time without seeing each other. Needless to say, we both get a little emotional with each time we kiss each other good-bye every morning. There are some long, heart-wrenching embraces before we have to both go our separate ways. Lunches often involve tears. On the flip side, there is a precious reunion each evening when we both get home. It's all tender, I guess we'll just have to get used to it.
I think the huge news is that we finally got our couches. We were told we'd need to wait 2 weeks for them and got them a little over 9 weeks later. They aren't the most comfortable things in the world but they fit the living room pretty well.

Tank likes that they provide an excellent vantage point to make sure all is good in the neighborhood.

Lori completed the Sawtooth Relay a couple weeks ago for the second straight year. That's Suzie in the picture, she works over at the other clinic. She begged to be put on our blog. She said it would make her feel like a movie star. Here you go Suzie, you owe us big time. I think she already misses working with me.

This was at Squaw Peak, the toughest run I've done to date. You can't see the rain, but it was there.


Lots of mud and snow on top of the already rocky, steep course. I couldn't believe the snow coming down that morning. June isn't supposed to be like that. All that having been said, it was a very fun time. Almost 51 miles with over 14000 feet of ascent. I'm looking forward to going back next year.

Chilling at Vivian Park after a day of running. On a different note, does anybody else think it's high time for us to have a baby. We treat Tank far too well, he basically runs our house. Anyway, that's it for now......Later
