Möbius was not impressed that we were gone from home for so long.
We celebrated Ryan's 27th birthday in late January. Until Rebekah's birthday in August, Ryan was a perfect cube and she was a perfect square.
In the late winter, Ryan was diagnosed with mononucleosis. Lovely swollen glands, aren't they?
We both played Ultimate in the Missoula Spring League and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, though Ryan's stamina was definitely affected by mono.
In late May, we drove to Grass Valley to be there for Ryan's grandparents (who moved there earlier this year) while Ryan's parents went to Phoenix for surgery on Ryan's dad's pancreas. Möbius usually hates the car, but she did quite well for three days.
We stopped at Multanomah Falls on the way,
camped at a state park on the coast,
walked on the beach,
toured the Tillamook cheese factory,
and stopped to take many, many pictures of the Pacific.
Möbius was very happy to have a break from the car the second night when we stayed with Jim Farrington, a Yates family friend, in the tiny town of Alsea, Oregon. We were glad for the break, too!
When we got to Grass Valley, Möbius thoroughly enjoyed the luxurious accomodations.
While there, we hiked part of the Pioneer Trail with Carol Douglas and Sam the dog.
On the way home, we had great views of the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho.

Ryan - sweet Ireland T-Shirt. I hope you think of me every time you put that on. Was cool to see pics of Oregon. Hailey went to school up there so we have many happy memories ourselves up that direction. Never toured the cheese factory though.
Matt--I bought Ryan that shirt for $1 or $2 after St. Patrick's Day with you in mind. Someday we'll visit you and get real shirts.
