So, I assume it's time to furnish the latest happenings of the Garrett clan. Zach and I are doing quite well in our new home here in the Commonwealth. Things are going better than they have in a long time. Zach found a contract position at a local microbiology lab and is doing consumer testing. He is of course highly qualified thanks to the experience he received from his time at Clemson. I am thoroughly enjoying my work back at the Bank of America. I have the best coworkers a girl could ask for. To those of you I worked with before, you know I had fun with you too. :)
Zach and I have been taking every opportunity to explore our new surroundings. So far we have frequented our family in CT, taken a few trips to the city, visited the Cape and have done a bit of hiking in the Blue Hills. We were both off from work this past Wednesday and went for a hike in the morning. We were surprised at the view!! In one view, we had the city of Boston and the ocean. It was so great and we regret not having our cameras in tow. Don't worry though - we will return there and come back with pictures. It was really nice.
The kids are fine too. Klaus and baby Ming had their annual exams and all is happy and healthy in cat land. No one is overweight and no one is sick. We were happy cat parents after their check ups.
We are all looking forward to the arrival of brother Brian next week. He will be here briefly and go on a HUGE hike with brother Eric and sister in law Tammy in Mount Washington. Should be a good time for them and I bet they will be exhausted. Brian will be here Wednesday night and then we will go to CT to visit them post hike. We aren't expecting a wild bunch on Sunday when we see them but we'll have a nice visit either way. :)
The weather has been gorgeous lately and we are quite enjoying the cool New England summer. It's nice not having to use A/C a lot. Our wallets certainly appreciate it and the natural air is always nicer anyway.
Hope you are all well out there. We'll try to be better about keeping up. By the way, for more details on our lives, just keep up with my facebook. ;0) Until later -
