For the next four weeks we will be in Friday Harbor, Washington. During this time Chris will be doing research, Melissa will be working on her dissertation and Everett will be in pre-school. We hope that this will provide a much needed interruption of our busy lives at home, as well as a chance to reconnect with parts of our lives that, while important, are not urgent and are therefore sometimes overlooked. This visit also provides some continuity for our family. Chris spent a month here in 2004 and Melissa visited for a long weekend over July 4th. This was a turning point in our relationship, and now we are able to reflect on the last seven years (seven years!?! Time goes by so quickly), our marriage and of course Everett.
