So it's May

May is the growing season. Everything is going about 80 mph outside. This week Portland had temperatures in the high 80s all week, and as a result my house turned into a creeper house in less than 10 days without mowing the front lawn. Shit was overgrown and looking pretty sketchy. Today I spent 2 hours putting things back together again, and I gotta say it looks pretty tight out there (at least for the next 2-3 days). Spring is really exhausting - so much change so fast.

Continuing to dig my computer! Things are so streamlined it's ridiculous. I may never be able to go back. I actually use a version of CAD that is more advanced than my version at work. Still in the honeymoon period.

In about 5 weeks I'll be setting off to Hawaii with the family and Randall for a little adventure. It's so short, I wish I could stay another 2-3 days beyond the 6 I'm there. Time just flies over there despite the laid back tempo going on. I've never taken my partner on a family vacation before. I'm pretty excited and optimistic. I just want everyone to have a great time. Hoping to adopt the island mentality as soon as my feet hit the soft earth over there. Don't worry about the details, etc.

I'm really thankful for a lot of things in my life right now (love, work, family, projects). I want to keep riding this ship, and do so successfully and confidently. I have a little trouble with that at times.

Oh, this weekend my deck construction project gets underway. Super excited for what finishing it means in terms of making my house quite a bit more welcoming to groups larger than 3.
