Pictures!

All right I now have all my pictures up. My computer was on the fritz for a couple days there but it looks like all is well now. It has been raining here, which makes our yard a poopy mess. So, we're spending a lot of time inside.

Well those are all the pictures for now, more will come. One thing I love about Portland is that there are parks everywhere. Beautiful, big, green parks! We are going to check out a dog park tomorrow that is only 3 miles from our house. Miss Pup and Captain are really enjoying having a park right at the house; every time we go out they act like they've never been there before. There are always other dogs, people, and interesting things to smell.

I am beginning to see how unemployed people become lazy. We sleep in everyday, stay up late, sit around the house a lot, and generally are not very productive. Of course we take the dogs out, do errands, explore the area, and job search, but when we're at home its easy to go into lazy mode. I'll have a burst of motivation and clean something, or take out the garbage, maybe exercise, but that's about it!

Today we went to the tennis court that is just east (I think?) of us in the park. It was really only my second time playing tennis, but we had fun. We scored two rackets (new and matching!) at Goodwill for $7.99 each!
