This has been a crazy hectic week for both Rachel and me with our jobs. As for me, it was mostly in the form of some tedious or stressful cases which, in the end, proved to be rewarding in the same way that running a marathon can be rewarding- ask me in a week and I'll be glad to have done them, but right now I'm just glad to be done. For Rachel, it was more time intensive as she traversed the state of Washington multiple times for different jobs. It's not an exaggeration to say that she put about two thousand miles on our car this week. And this is in addition to of her normal schedule. So, yeah, we were a little off balance this week. I think there was only one night when we had the whole family home for dinner. If anything, it makes us appreciate the normal, pretty chill life that we normally get to live.
Oh yeah- that reminds me of Evelyn, also. She was in Salt Lake City for several days this week on a band trip. They also went to Lagoon (a little theme park) and had a lot of fun just hanging out around the town in between the music stuff they went for. She said that she had a great time, but that it also pushed her to catch up with other things once she got back, so she has been under a little bit of stress lately as well.
Fortunately, we all have a nice weekend coming up. The weather is really nice and it should be a refreshing break before launching back into real life. I think things are settling down though.
Here are some pictures. Have a good week!

| Oh my gosh- I forgot about this until I went to add photos. This was also the week of a big non-profit (CDAide) fund-raiser that Rachel helps out with. Some of the kids pitched in as well to help prepare for the event and wrap donation baskets. |
 |
| This was a fun night. Ev got a little recognition for her academic achievements, which came with a ceremony and a medal and some scholarship stuff. Just her and Rachel and I went to it and then out to dinner afterwards as a little celebration. |

| This was one of those things where everyone was taking pictures, so we figured we should too. |
 |
| This is from last weekend when just a few of us went up to Wallace. We got a lot done in the bonus room (notice, it's not called the attic any more), and ate pizza on the patio of Silver Mountain for lunch. |

| Springtime vibes. Lindsey uses this bike to its full potential. |

| Have a good week! |
