The One About the WENUS

"I just don't want to be one of those guys [or girls] that's in his office until twelve o'clock at night worrying about the WENUS"

Yeah.. you all remember when Chandler said that on Friends. Well, I feel a little like that today. I mean, I have endless reports I am in charge of updating at work, and I am not particularly obsessed with any one of them.. But then today I could not get a new database at work to do anything right and I threw a bit of a tizzy. Then I started thinking, when did I turn into one of those people that worry about their horribly named work reports?? What happened to ME? And when did I turn in to this nerd???

Anyway, I am looking forward to recovering tonight while watching the Office, and while I type this I worry that watching this show indulges my inner-nerd and maybe I should curb my love for this show.. Hold back on the nerdiness a little.. Yeah.. Probably not.

PS - I will not apologize for not blogging, nor will I promise to blog more in the future. But I may have more coming.

Pananama!!

Micah and I went to Panama for the week and just got back at about 3 this morning - it was one of the craziest little trips I have ever been on! I loved it!

We started out in Panama City, where we saw part of the Panama Canal.

Then we flew in a box shaped airplane over to the Bocas Islands, where we stayed for the rest of the trip.

These islands were beautiful! They are covered in jungles and deserted beaches and little villages. We spent our days hiking through the rainforests, snorkeling in the warm water, semi-exploring caves, spying on jungle animals, riding scooters on muddy roads in the pooring rain (this seriously was one of my favorite days) and eating at little restaurants along the way!

The weather changed by the hour from sunny to cloudy to pooring rain and thunder storms and back to sunny again - making everything a little more adventury.

We went with 10 other friends - all experienced adventure trip takers.. I got the memo that it was an adventure trip, unfortunately I did not take it seriously. Result? Lots of bug bites and muddy flip flops.

Lessons learned? Take adventure friends seriously and do not cross the Eukre wizards.

A New Kind of Hair...

... for a new kind of me. Ok, I am totally the same, the new hair has not changed me at all.. so much for trying.. but I think I'm a liken how its a lookin.

Is it me, or do I look better blurry?

But seriously, I feel a little lame posting just about my hair color, like that is the most exciting news I could come up with..? How about a trip to Panama? Will that entertain anyone??

Thankful to Meet You in Seattle

Umm.. A few of you may have given up on checking my blog, I do not blame you.. I am not a professional blogger and do not provide the regular entertainment that all of you are so good at providing me.
BUT, I have a question, who all is going to be in Seattle over Thanksgiving this year? I will be up there for a whole week and wanted to see who I will get to see while I am up there!! And if you haven't made plans yet or maybe were not planning on going, I think that maybe you should change your plans and meet me there instead. Just a friendly idea from your friend that watches you (not in a creepy way, but in a very nice way), Tracy.

Just Some Pictures

Just thought I would add some more pictures, because that is the fun thing about these blogs is sharing pictures...

These are all mostly of Katie's wedding, she got married on the 29th of Dec., exactly on our anniversary (and Lyns's birthday!!)!! Her husband is TC Kruegger, and funny, he is from Sammamish too.

We also got some family pictures of all the Teddy-Mathis-Kruegger's a few days before the wedding by the same photographer that took all of the wedding pictures. Oh, by the way, I thought she did an amazing job with these pictures and you can find LOTs more here: http://photographybydmc.blogspot.com/2008/01/katie-teddys-bridals-woah-baby.html. She lives in Utah but came up for the pictures.

Katie, me, kami, wendy and tiffany.

Wendy, mom (oh, she also made katie's dress!), katie and me!

One Year for the Mathis'

The family.

I like this picture of all the boys.

Now, as I do at the end of every post, I will promise to do better at keeping this updated!
