Much Better

I hesitate to unpack boxes before Sammi arrives, because we'll be rearranging furniture. This year calls for a real living space - a pad - for entertaining several people at a time. We need a couch.
And man, do I have a lot of useless things for which I don't have room .

Back on Campus

I'm getting my room organized. The biggest box of stuff exploded right over the doorway into the room. It was quite a mess. Joel laughed for a good five minutes before helping me bulldozer it inside. Thankfully it didn't happen in the elevator or anything.
I texted Sammi and she's coming on Friday. We're missing a bureau but maintenance should arrive with one in a few minutes.
XC people will be here Wednesday. They miss me and say the freshmen are cool.
Everyone I've seen so far, especially Luke Parkhurst, loves the haircut. He (Luke) said that some people get "oh, you got a haircut" and some people get "oh, you got a good haircut" but Rafter gets "oh, you got a bombtastic work of art and you look amazing!" Very flattering.
Now to clean some more. Bye!

Cutting it off . . .

Jeremy did the cutting. He was very nice.


Finished.

Skykomish, Washington

Here's photos of the vacay with the family. T,his place is a perfect example of the Pacific Northwest. Available for recreation are trails for hiking, mountain biking, rafting, and rock climbing.

The bustling metropolis that is Skykomish.


I took this picture on my run.


Also on my run.

Skykomish, Washington is:
51 miles from Leavenworth, that terribly fake Bavarian village.
67 miles from Seattle, home to the EMP which we did not get to visit.
184 miles from Forks, WA, but don't tell anyone that I know that.
234 miles from Portland, and it has even more trees.
1406 miles from Colorado Springs, to which I am ready to return.

I think it would be a great idea to raft guide here next summer and waitress a little at night. This is perfect because, as my (ex-) R.A. Tim said, "If you don't get hired as a raft guide I will be extremely disappointed, because anyone whose name is Rafter should be hired as a raft guide for that reason alone."

Scandinavian Adventure!

My favoritest aunt in the whole world is moving to Denmark!
