Hi all. So sorry that we haven't been better about updating the blog. Time flies when you are having fun! So, let's see...what's been happening in the world of the Tarchas? Since out last update, here are some highlights:
1.) Jeannette finally gave her job the boot after much lamenting and hours and hours of discussion with anyone who was nice enough to listen (thank you to all of you -- and you know who you are! -- for listening and supporting me as I struggled with this tough decision).
2.) We made our first trip back home for Eric's brother's wedding reception. It was a great week but went by entirely too quickly as we didn't have enough time to visit with everyone we wished.
3.) Jeannette just got a part-time job at the University of Washington as a copywriter in the Alumni Association and with my extra time I have decided to open up my own freelance Marketing and Communications consulting firm (aka Tapestry MarCom). I have my first client so I'm excited about the possibilty of trying my hand as my own boss (something I have always aspired to do!)
4.) Jeannette celebrated the big 3-1 and Eric will be joining me later this month (ha! ha!). How did we get this old?
5.) Jeannette is currently recovering from a freak appendectomy last week and Eric is rejoicing as he his finally free from playing nursemaid. He actually had his first taste of freedom on St. Patty's day when he celebrated a little too much and consequently was sleeping the afternoon away trying to recover from a little bit of a headache!
6.) Eric has continued his fishing conquests in Washington and we are both looking forward to the spring so we can take the canoe out for a trip or two! I even agreed to take Fly Fishing lessons...moving West has certainly brought the earthy Jeannette out!

That's really all we have been up to. The weather is beginning to get a little nicer so we have plans to take many trips this summer to Mt. Rainer, Victoria and Vancouver and Portland. Till then, all of you take care!

xoxo
Jeannette, Eric and Buddy
