Summer is just about over, and it's been a whole year since we moved to Vancouver, Washington. We've all pretty much familiarized ourselves to the area. I don't know that it feels quite like home yet, but I can finally get around most areas without having to use navigation. One thing I can say about Vancouver is that it is really beautiful. We are surrounded by trees and trails, rivers and lakes, and views of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens. Chris says it's like living in a forest. It rains so much here, everything is green, although it has been a pretty dry summer with some heatwaves raising temperatures into the high 90s. It's supposed to hit 100 degrees today. I don't know if this is typical for the summer, but I am definitely not a fan. I am looking forward to the fall and cooler weather, and hopefully more of this.
