Denny Creek Run
On Saturday, Terry and I loaded up the Jeep and headed to Denny Creek to go on a snow run with our 4-wheel drive club, the Timber Tamers. We got amazing weather with blue skies and just a slight wind. It was very pretty on the trail with a creek running on one side that it was hard to believe that we were actually on a trail between east bound and west bound I-90. Everyone had a blast and we can't wait until our next run. Now, here are some pictures which I know you have been waiting for.

Valentine's Day Weekend
We made it to the cabin and unloaded our stuff and then decided to go out to dinner at Black Angus. Grandma had given us a gift card and we decided to go a day early to beat the Valentine's Day rush. Dinner was good and afterwards we headed back to the cabin with no harrassment from State Patrol.
Terry woke up sick on Sunday. Luckily, it was also raining and to our surprise, there was a TV in the cabin. We spent most of the day relaxing in the cabin. On Monday, we had to head home. We stopped on the way home and picked up Zeus and then came home and unpacked the car. We had a nice weekend and would do the cabin rentals again since they were very reasonable.

Weekend Weather
South Bay weekend weather forecast: Think Seattle!

No, you didn't dream those raindrops pounding on your rooftop last night, and you didn't wake up in Seattle this morning.
The wet weather we're experiencing right here in the South Bay is ours for at least five more days, according to the National Weather Service.
There's even a 90 percent chance of a thunderstorm today with highs in the low 50s. There's a chance of showers from Valentine's Day all the way past President's Day.
Ironically, Seattle's weather forecast reads more like a day in San Jose: partly sunny all through the weekend.

Weekend Getaway
I am getting very excited about our plans for this weekend. Terry and I rented a cabin on the shores of American Lake in Fort Lewis. The rentals were VERY reasonably and I am definatley excited about having a long weekend with just the two of us. We will have no phones, no computer and NO DOG. We don't have anything planned for the weekend but will be bringing our bikes and possibly some fishing gear. I can't wait until work is over tomorrow so we can head out.

Quick Update
On Friday, I went in for a laparoscopy. Terry and I have been trying to have a baby, and since it hasn't happened yet, the doctor wanted to do some testing. The doctor's thought I may have endometriosis and wanted to do a dye test to make sure my tubes were open. Previously, my blood test came back normal so she moved onto the next typical cause of infertility which is tube blockage and endometriosis.
The surgery went well and I felt great on Friday night. I got more sore over the weekend and today am fine except for where to two small incisions are (one in my belly button and one about 6 inches lower). The good news was that there was no endo and my tubes where open. I was a little disappointed since I was hoping if there was endo and they were able to remove it, it would increase our chances of pregnancy. But, really, I couldn't have asked for better news. I was very glad to hear my tubes were open and at least we do know now I am healthy. Thanks for all the prayers!
There is one minor concern though. My doctor said she did find a small red spot that she took off and sent to have biopsied. I asked where, and she just said we would discuss it more in my follow-up that I wouldn't remember anything she told me at the time. She didn't think it was anything to worry about, but how do you not worry when someone finds something to biopsy? I will be anxiously awaiting my follow-up on Feb 24 and, until then, will continue to pray and trust in God's plan.

Walker Valley Work Day
On Saturday, Terry and I headed up to Walker Valley OHV to do some trail work with our 4x4 club the Timber Tamers. The club had committed to hours to help with a grant from the state and we wanted to do our part. Once we got there, we were assigned to help build a new sign for the DNR. I put up some before, during and after pictures from the day. It was cold, but a lot of fun.
