Back to reality!

     Well our trip to Seattle is officially over and we have settled back into reality.  While we were away no one had left a couple million dollars in our mail box, so Kelli and I both had to get back to work.  Getting back to your daily routine after a fun relaxing vacation such as that is always hard but it must be done!  Our last couple of days in the big city were amazing!  We wont talk about the game much because the wounds are still a little fresh from our terrible loss!  I will say however that we had a really fun time, the only truly bad thing was the hearing loss we all surely have because of how loud it was in there!  The Seahawk fans are always loud, their noise level just reaches unspeakable levels when they are winning!
     After the game was over we had dinner at the cheesecake factory, followed by watching the sunset on the city from the North side of lake Union.  This created some unforgettable views and when it was completely dark the city lights glowed with a fascination form this small town boy that won't soon be matched!  On our way back to the house we stopped and listened to the Gregorian chants at the Episcopal church, this was an unbelievably moving experience!  The church men's choir has done this every Sunday night for over 50 years and they open the entire church to seating however you wish.  The four of us laid out a blanket and lie on the floor looking up at the 30' tall ceilings, letting the soothing hymns cleanse our souls.
     Our drive home the next day went pretty fast, we stopped in Spokane and had dinner with my parents, it was great to be able to see the Spokane clan both on the trip over and our return trip!  JAG's world famous clam chowder hit the spot as we'd all been in desperate need of a hoe cooked meal!
     Now that our work week is coming to a close I am getting ready to head out this evening to meet up with the rest of the guys at elk camp down in the Bighole valley.  Dad, Curt, and Ryan have all been there most of the week and I hope to get down there and get a chance to fill our freezer!  If things go well I will return Sunday night with a really good story:)

Remember, the easiest way to cope with reality is to immediately plan another vacation!:)
