Matt and Mar enter the information age!

We finally got the internet at home! Now we can blog and email and surf the net to our hearts content...how lovely.

And even better: Matt got a job. Of course, he already has a job (his research at WPI) but Matt cannot settle for simply one job - no, no us MickJoins must achieve, achieve, achieve! :)
Seriously Matt's new job is a really sweet deal. He'll do tutoring in math and science and for teh SATs with high school students in the area. The beauty part is that it can be as few as 3 hours a week or as many as he can handle. He is, as anyone who ever went to the physics help lab at George Fox knows, an EXCELLENT tutor so we know he'll be a huge success.

Another exciting bit of news: we got a new fridge! On Monday our old (and I do mean OLD) fridge broke down and our landlord sent us out to buy a new one. It was pretty cool really! And we really got a great fridge, all big and white and cold. :) We would post a picture but, really, there must a limit.

But we will post hiking/backpacking/nearly lost in the woods sending up flares pictures!

This is the view from our tent - one of the nicest parts of the trip...no bugs and no need to walk.

And this is our fearless hike leader, Dakota exploring the territory!
