Guadalupe State Park, Texas

Gary, Gabbie, and I went for a hike this morning along the Guapalupe River. The 2 mile loop was a sunny but muddy one. I enjoyed getting out into nature and away from the city.

Olson Time

Two days before Christmas is all I got to spend with my family. I didn't really get to see Hans or Jenny but know that I will get to see them soon. I love my family and miss them.

We did have a fine dinner. Plus, Kait and Gabbie decorated a gingerbread house.

Blue Bird Day

Gabbie and I woke up early this morning, made pancakes, and headed for the slopes. Mt. Hood Meadows was our destination. Blue skies, the sun was shinning and we had a great time. I was so proud of Gabbie. Learning how to ski is hard and very frustrating at times. She followed my directions with a smile on her face, who could ask for more?

Later we hit up the Double Mountain Brewery on our way home and shared a beer with some friends. One of which threw a sealed slab if freshly caught steelhead and we terriyakied it for dinner.

Tomorrow we had up Seattle to visit my folks.

Gabbie

For eight years this gal has been my best friend, wife, accountant, and companion. She runs a tight ship and knows how to have fun. Gabbie, I love you honey.

Maui

Gabbie and I went to her brother's wedding in the up country of Maui. We stayed in a nice condo on the beach, snorkeled, swam in a warm ocean, hiked, and tried to take as much as we could in. It was unfortunately a very short trip.

I love it there because I feel so at ease. Every time we visit I fixate in moving there. Someday?

Posting Made Easier

I am so psyched about the blogger app. Now I can post from my phone and not be on the computer. So much easier.

Let's see
School started in September have been busy! Ha ha ha

Went to a pumpkin patch in October and met a really pig names Sugar. She smelled like Canadian bacon, no joke

Thanksgiving happened.

Now it's ski season.

Expect more soon.
