Into the Summer

Well, I’m all done with year 1 of 2 of graduate school. The exams this time seemed to be much easier, but I’m still nonetheless glad to be finished. This week we are trying to get everything in order before our trip. That means preparing everything with our move to Beaverton and getting work issues under wraps. Today we went up and looked at our new apartment and selected a garden plot at one of the community gardens. We are planning to do most of our vegetables up there and have only a small garden in our front yard here in Salem. We got most of this put in over the weekend before the rains came, and hopefully it will grow into a nice looking landscape.

You can see how far our plants have come in the past few weeks:

We’ve been doing quite a bit of Thai cooking lately, here is one dish:

Finally, Lizzie is always excited whenever there is a mess around the house (it means she has a new place to sleep):

We leave for Baton Rouge on Saturday. Should be a fun visit with nicer weather than we are having here. Hope everyone is doing well, talk to you soon.
