A lot has been going on in our lives so let’s
do some updating:
(Don't worry, you can skip the updates and scroll down to Edamame video!)
- I updated in August that Bobby is now a Journeyman electrician, which we were very excited about. Unfortunately, the company he worked for couldn’t afford another Journeyman, and as the lowest man on the totem pole, he was laid off.
- But in happier news – Bobby got a new job! He spent a total of 1 (yes, that’s ONE) day unemployed thanks to his awesome work ethic and ability (with a little help from my job-searching skills). He’s now working for a small electrical company here in Hillsboro and has steady work doing remodels. What’s even nicer – he got a raise out of the deal and potential for a company truck in a few months. He likes the owner and employees a lot and it’s looking like a better opportunity than where he was before.
- In September I celebrated my 28th birthday and September also marked 11 years together with Bobby. I had a nice, low-key birthday with sushi and relaxation.
- Labor Day weekend my folks came to visit and we had a really good time together. Bobby and Dad ripped out my old nook table and put in a new one so it’s now usable! It’s so nice to finally have a place to sit and eat again! We also hung out in Portland, visited the beach, saw Multnomah Falls, and climbed up past the Larch Mt trail above Wahkeena Falls. Dad bought me hiking sticks for my birthday which have finally made it possible for me to hike again with my bad knee and hip.
- I have now been officially initiated into Phi Lambda Sigma (aka Pharmacy Leadership Society) and was elected as the new Secretary/Treasurer as well. Both are a great honor since membership is invite only and being selected in a leadership position in an organization of leaders is very gratifying. I also completed the Bylaws for PLS with a great team and look forward to working with the organizations on a few other projects this year.
- I’m now in my 5th rotation of the year which is dedicated to studying for the Boards. Lovely. And between studying I'm now applying for residencies and the fellowship. It's both exciting and absolutely terrifying. Cross your fingers for me!
Alright, now what you really came to the blog for: Edamame!
As before, I am a horrible cameraman and ask you to forgive the shoddy work. The cuteness still shines through and you can mute it to avoid my silly voice (I always sound a little more squeeky when talking to pups).
This is her first real walk and we were amazed how well she does on a leash. As long as she has Sophie to follow she walks like a champ.
During the walk we had to stop for a little roll
Have you ever seen male walruses fight on Nature? The girls do a great impression:
I caught a bit of a cold and Edamame decided to help make me feel better in bed
She runs in her sleep all the time...
And to wrap it up: Showing off her stair moves:
