Life Less Ordinary.: Where did the summer go?

Oops ... the summer is almost over! How did that happen? Perhaps our staying so busy made it fly by? That's what we'll go with.

What we've been up to:

Ruedi:

Ruedi spent mid-May through the first week of August in Yuma Arizona finishing some training
No broken bones this go round!
Weekends were spent in San Diego with work friends (some of whom were from Australia!) - hiking, going to the beach, mountain biking, etc.

He has continued with his physical therapy and was told by his Doctor that he is in the top 3-5% of recovering patients. Apparently, it is unusual for someone with his injury to be hiking and mountain biking so soon after surgery. The wife isn't surprised one bit!
Now he is back in Baltimore and getting back into the groove of working an 8-5 office job. Apparently it is rather different than a 6AM - 4 PM job in the desert. Who knew!?!

Whitney:

I have been keeping myself busy with working, running and bike riding. I have become quite the fan of bike riding this summer and have found quite a few trails to adventure - favorite being one down in Annapolis.

I took a trip down to Texas in June to visit family and friends! It was good to be visit, but the heat killed me! Ruedi got to fly in from Arizona for one of the weekends and spend time with all of the family - it was a surprise and we executed it perfectly! We even got to meet our nephew Hank!

Now that we are back in the same state/town/apartment, Ruedi and I are working on figuring out how to do life together. It isn't without a mishap or two, but boy is it fun! We aren't sure how long Ruedi will be working in town, so we take advantage of every minute we get together!

We talk all the time about how much there is to do in our area and how easy it is to just go and do it. Load up and explore! We have been taking full advantage of all Maryland/Pennsylvania has to offer of late.
