Catching Up .... October 29th

How long has it been since we visited last......?

Arron has finished his Cross Country Running. His last meet was October 25th, he ran his best time ever shaving 50 seconds off his race time. I think he is starting to see his ability. This week, even though his running was officially over he decided to challenge his mile time this time cutting his time by another 20 seconds.

I have been to the Marine Fire Fighting Academy, which sounds pretty cool. In reality we were taught the very basic skills needed for fighting a fire on board a ship. We put out flaming gasoline on water, a little fire in a "galley" which looked surprisingly like a Aries K car. Then we finally, after two days of talking about getting into a fire were allowed to go into a real building with fire.... YES! Fire... I did however break the rules and snuck my camera in and while assigned to the back of the crew during the end of the training, I took out my camera and snapped a couple shots... :)


I have started diving at work with 4 dives in the last few weeks. My first dive was in the Snoqualmie River, then two at Lake Sammamish and now one in Lake Washington. Sorry no photos of myself to share. I do have a very stylish wet suit that someday will be seen.

Oh cruise count down... 10 days to go...
