gearing up

A year ago, Ryan and I took a mini-vacation. We hiked up Enchanted Rock (before the sun came up) and had it all to ourselves for an hour or two. I snapped this pic just before my batteries ran out. It's one of my favorites of him.

I wanted to post it because we're going to have another mini-vacation this week, almost to the day of last year's. We are really looking forward to having some time off, but we're going to do things a little differently this year.

Spent the weekend out at the farm. Fin made us proud--she jumped up onto a 5-1/2-foot-tall haybale by herself, and then lept down. She also had a good swim, and acted like a real sweetie while she was at Annette's. She is growing up! What a sweet puppy, though.

Ryan is having to reset the airport base station for our internet. Lucky for him, one of my smaller knitting needles was on the desk--he used it to press the button. This is one of the many small ways our worlds collide into funny little bursts of perfection.

Looking forward to one more day of work before the mini-vacay. Tomorrow is like Friday!
