Michael and I are the proud new owners of a brand new dryer! This is about as exciting as it gets down here in Corvallis. We purchased the Kenmore 800 series. It is awesome! We decided to break down and get a new dryer when I was drying towels and it took 6 hours… This new dryer dries towels in less than 1 hour!! There is also a rack that goes inside if we want to dry shoes or all of our delicate sweaters

Here it is in all of its glory:

Odell Lake was beautiful as always.

Not as much snow this year, but we had a great time! Michael and I got to try a couple of new things while there. We gave cross country skiing a try. It was so much fun! Even though we spent the majority of the time on the ground when we first started.

Michael tried sardines for the first time.

Nothing better than eating raw fish after exercising.

We had a great time relaxing in the cabin. We worked puzzles, read, played Apples to Apples, and took in the beautiful scenery.  I can’t wait to go back next year!

This short vacation was much needed. Michael and I drove to Odell Lake right after I took my 4 hour CVT test. Which didn’t go so well…

This long weekend, Kelsey and I are taking a trip with Dan and Kathy. This is also the first mobile post! Posted from my mobile. All photos are taken on my phone too.
The weather wasn’t the greatest, mostly rain with not a lot of snow on the ground. But we made the best of it.
We were able to do some cross country skiing. Which was fun, Kelsey and I are not the best at the downhill part of the cross country, so we were both a bit sore the next day.
Overall it was worth going. Thanks Kathy and Dan for letting us come with!
I’m sure Kelsey will supplement this with her own post, and more pictures.
