I'd Like Some Ketchup With That Please


Well, my blog was originally to keep people up with life in Burundi while I was gone.  But then a few changes were made, and I am still technically “gone” from most people I know.  For now.  Until I make friends.  In the new state of Washington.  Yep, I moved.  Again.  (But at least I’m in the same country now, right Mom and Dad???)

You see, there was this guy. . . .who was a catch.  So much so that we decided to get married.  By the way, his name is Evan.

Oh, that's why people write poetry.


He’s in the military.  And the government stationed him in Washington. 

This is your typical rainy day.


But then there are the beautiful surprises like this one as you drive.
(Lots of people pulled over to take a picture of this sky.
I like that people appreciate the beauty of nature here.)


And this is just beautiful whether it's rainy or not.



Oh yeah, and in case you were wondering, it wasn’t a split second decision, we met long before I went to Africa.  A whole two months!  Long distance for seven.  Then, I saw him for a whole two days when I got back, just long enough to get engaged, and then he went down for two more months in one of those little big tin cans in the sea.



They're not actually yellow as you may have been misled as a child by the The Beatles like me.



When he came back up, (Hooray for a long waited reunion!) we drove out west. 

Whatever that little house could be for, I have no idea.



Getting a look at the Grand Tetons before the big hike. . . ;o)

No talking on the phone while drivinggggg....



So this is my new life.  And it makes me feel like this:





Most of the time.  Moving is still moving.  But there's LOTS to be glad for.



*me = photohappy aka being back in the States with good internet!!!  Whoohoo!!
