We're in Spokane for the 4th. One of Jason's best friends from High School lives up here. He's the kind of friend who once new Jason in the "Mullet Phase" and still hangs out with him and is kind enough to not bring it up. Eric is a pastor here in Spokane for a church called Jacob's Well. It's fun to hang out with Eric and his family because I see different side of Jason when I'm here. I hear stories that I've never heard, and it helps me to put some of his quirkiness in perspective. Those of you who know my husband, also know that he is the king of quirkiness, but in a good way. Just so you can appreciate how cool my husband is, I'm sharing a picture today of him eating a fire wing at lunch. He is just coming back to meat after a 3 year stint as a Peskitarian.
I spent like 2 hours hosing off watching Youtube today. I never do that. I never allow myself to do stuff just to do stuff. It feels good in certain ways, but I also feel lazy.
As we've been driving around seeing new places, I've been thinking a lot about living in different parts of the country. Jason and I talked about the idea of moving somewhere to "start fresh" once the kids are older. Then I wondered if we should have a purpose for moving that was about something more than "starting fresh". It seemed kinda selfish to me. I thought about maybe moving to be a part of a community or moving to invest in something or contribute something. I don't know if I'm just being weird about that, but I've been thinking a lot more these days about purpose and the drivers behind the choices we make.
We will begin the long drive in the Mini-van tomorrow. 6 hours. Jason has made these CD's that we listen to. The CD's have his entire collection of songs in alphabetical order by song title. Jason is really into Spanish music, and a lot of those songs start with "El". That section of the CD begins to suck by the 5th El song. I'm kind of a singing in the car kind of gal. I have a hard time when I don't know the words. I'm going to use my powers to introduce some of the new John Mayer live CD.
It's going to be sad to go back to the real world and the busyness of living by my blackberry. I will miss the lazy times.

Cool blog, Summer! I'm excited to read more about your fun, exciting and busy life!
"That section of the CD begins to suck by the 5th El song."
hahahahaha! that is SO awesome...i would be thinking the EXACT same thing! :)
It was great to hang out with you guys again! Hope your "Espanisha Driva Homea" wasn't to unbearable. Not that spanish songs aren't wonderful, but we need a little steak and potato music also in our diet. Thanks again for also stepping in and helping with the vocals today. Beautiful voice...I think you brought a tear to Jason's eye- he was so proud! - LeeElla
Peskitarian...that is awesome...I finally have a word to but to my angst.
Thanks for hanging with us on the 4th, hope you enjoyed the lake.
What no mention of watching UFC 86 with us...come on Summer let out your inner Sonja, I know you wanted to scream "Hit him in the knee! Hit him in the knee!" like my lovely trucker wife LeeElla was howling... :)
Ditto on Rene's post - thanks for the laugh there!
(this is melody castle, by the way)
