Seattle: Part II

Now, where were we? Aww, yes. On Day 3 of the grand adventure to the North West - also known as 'The Smith's take Seattle by Storm' or 'The Smith's thought of their cute daughter the whole time they were gone' or 'Wait, that's Mt. Rainer yet again??'...whatever you want to call it.

Here's another fun shot of Mt. Rainer from the University. Can you tell we loved it?
So, Day 4 was spent going to a park at Lake Washington that had great views.
Another profile shot - just enjoying walking and chatting with one another. By Day 4 the time change was really beginning to catch up with us. We were waking up at 4:30am thinking it was time to get up and going to bed late in Seattle which was really late in Texas.
Then we ventured to the Seattle Center to do the uber-touristy-thing, the Space Needle. It's WAY overpriced but everyone needs to do it once, right? Well, we did so now we can say we've done that. The views of the Cascades, Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound and Seattle really were pretty spectacular. Yep, there's Mt. Rainier again...just popping in the picture.
And here's the cute hubby letting me take yet "another blog picture".
Then it was off to the airport, a delayed plane ride home, a 4 hour plane ride, arriving in Houston at 1:30am, sneaking in to look at the kiddo, Mike picking the sleep kiddo up to snuggle and rock because she was just too cute not to squeeze, me 'ooh' and 'ahhing' at our sweet kiddo, Mike and I saying "She looks so big! I think she grew" numerous times, finally going to bed after sneaking in to just stare at the sleeping kiddo again, getting up at 6am, driving back to Temple and going to work at 1pm. whew! Then we crashed pretty hard core that evening. But it was a great trip. The End.

Ok, y'all so Part II wasn't near as cool as Part I. But I wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything. Applications for schools are due in December/January, decisions are made Februaryish, and i'll know which schools think i'm awesome and which ones don't by March. I have my top four picked out - and when I googled "Schools of Public Health" rankings guess which ones were the top four? Yep, you guessed it. The four schools I picked. Way to go Emily. Oh well. If you don't shoot for the stars you'll never know. Right dad? We'll keep you posted. It's a hard decision too as it will probably take us away from Texas or New Mexico. Ugh, not going to think about that now. We'll just keep praying and join in with us if you'd like.
