Rasmussen Reunion 2008

Grandpa Rasmussen couldn't make it this year. Neither could Carma. But, of the 8 remaining Rasmussen children, 6 came. Crazy that my grandpa is second to oldest now. It was fun cramming 2 air mattresses, luggage, Dad, Mom, Keyton, Nick, Tom, and Me into a tent. My ear plugs worked well. Also pictured: Alex, Aidan, Avery, Sylvia, and Keyton.

Hulls Gulch Hike

I think it was Memorial Day that we went on this hike. Keyton did a great job. He hiked the whole way down. The foothills were really pretty in May. It was good walking prep for Thailand and Cambodia.

Come on in. The door's wide open.

I Bought A Car...Tomorrow

I've been thinking about what sort of car I want for several months. I've gone back and forth between Ford Focus and Toyota Corolla. I wasn't really happy with either of those for various reasons. I finally decided that I was going to have to pay a little more to get the car I want. Mom and I went car shopping today and I found the car I want. It is a 2006 Nissan Sentra with 20,300 miles. Not tons of bells and whistles but it drives nicely and I think I'll like it. Fern is processing my loan right now and it should be ready for tomorrow. Then, I'll have my own car. I'm excited but not looking forward to a monthly car payment.

I'm Back

After a month in Thailand and Cambodia, I'm back. It was a great trip. I got to see people I love, explore Angkor Wat, snorkel in the Andaman Sea, ride elephants, eat Thai food, sweat like a pig... Here are a couple of the pictures I took. I promise there are more to follow.
