I was sad to leave my first CF family in Pasco, WA but happy to joint another amazing group of people.    Be Strong. Get Stronger!

Pickin' Strawberries

Caitlin and I went to pick strawberries from a local farm in Sequim, WA. http://www.graysmarsh.com/ 

We will have to go back for raspberries and blackberries!

Kayaking on the Columbia

I never grew up around water but have always wanted to get involved in water sports. I figured while I am working near the Columbia River I should take advantage. The weather has just gotten warm enough to pull out the boats around here so this past weekend I took a beginners kayaking class through Columbia Kayak Adventures.  I learned a lot about the strokes and rescues and really enjoyed being out on the water.  AND it's not as scary to tip over as I thought! 

Luckily I will have access to water and kayaking in Port Angeles, WA so I will have to keep it up!

P.S. I am so behind posting pictures but I have the week off and will be going back and filling in the holes!

My CrossFit Journey (So Far)

If you are not familiar with CrossFit I encourage you to look it up. I officially started my CrossFit journey 3 months ago, however I have been researching it for over a year. I love it! Yes it is hardcore but ANYONE can do it and progress more than they ever thought possible. I have already met goals that I though would take me a year to do. Here are a few pictures from February. Since then I have gotten my unassisted kipping pull up (one of my goals for 2013) and now working on stringing them together! Shout out to my CrossFit family at ATeam CrossFit in Pasco, WA who have been wonderful over the past 3 months. I will miss them!

Snowboarding in Idaho

Tri-Cities is only a few hours away from St. Maries, ID where one of my best childhood friends currently lives with her husband. We decided that we needed to get together since its been over 7 years since we last saw each other. Over Easter weekend I drove up to Idaho and we spent the weekend catching up and even got a little skiing/snowboarding done! Beautiful area!

Lookout Mountain

The ski resort is on the border of Idaho and Montana. Each side of the mountain is a different time zone. Confusing!

Such a fun weekend!
