1917 Train Tunnel

Last Saturday Traci and I decided to make a trip to a abandoned train tunnel west of Palouse falls. This tunnel was built in 1917 and played a important role in connecting the Tri Cities area with Spokane. The rails are gone and all that's left is the gravel and the tunnel. I didn't walk all the way to the other side this time, since it's actually a pretty good walk and I was feeling lazy. Mark and Ti also joined us and it was great to have them around.

To end the day, we made a trip to Dayton to see a musical play at the Liberty Theater. There are playing "Fiddler on the Roof" and two of Traci's co-workers are in the play.

Janelle in South America

Janelle with her family have been planning on making a trip down to Chile for over a year now. They left just a week ago for their 3 week adventure and so far, they have been having loads of fun. Janelle, sent me a few pictures of her at Machu Pichu, holding a greeting sign for Traci and I. She is also wearing the shirt I made and gave her as a wedding thank you.

Janelle, you are so awesome!

It's a 5d!

I can finally say that I own a Canon 50mm 1.4 lens and Canon 5d. It's great. This doesn't mean I'll stop taking film pictures though. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be able to develop some film and make some black and white prints.

It's been two months.

Yesterday was the 2 months wedding anniversary. As some of you might recall, I promised to take Traci to Dairy Queen on my wedding vows as a reward, just for loving me. Well so far she has loved me in the past two months so we made a trip to this happy place to order some delicious Pumpkin Blizzards. Anniversaries are great!

Something to think about.

I ran into a Bible verse last week and surprisingly, I don't think I've ever read it before. Anyhow, it's a very powerful verse and I thought I should share it. It comes from Luke 6:32-36.

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
