Greetings!

Hi everybody! This is Mike, adding a new post to our shiny new blog. I would just like to extend a big welcome to family members, friends, people selling kitten stickers on Amazon.com and internet stalkers. To you, we extend our sincerest of sincere greetings to our lemonade stand on the internet interstate. Except maybe to the stalkers- please stop googling us, you're making us nervous.

This paragraph will get you up to speed on our shenanigans and hijinks. I have my JD, passed the bar in the great state of WA, and am fixin' to finish up my LL.M in Taxation (LLM basically stands for "Lots Lots More School"). My wife Mindy is a licensed clinical Social worker and currently runs her own business **cough cough** anewperspectivellc.com **cough cough** shameless plug**- excuse me, let me get a glass of water, I must have something in my throat- **cough cough anewperspectivellc.com**. Much better. We are expecting a new addition to our family in November. Yes, around Thanksgiving, and no, it is not a turkey (unless it takes after me).

So that is us in a brief, concise paragraph. My high school English teacher would be so proud. Actually, more likely she would accuse me of wordslaughter or premeditated commacide.

Here are some pics of our recent (mis)adventures.  

Eating at an AWESOME fish house by the beach in Vancouver, BC for our 5-year anniversary on May 3rd

Hiking with friends to see Snoqualmie Falls on May 17.  Gorgeous weather - thermometer said 94 degrees! 

Walking around Lake Union by our apartment in Seattle (May 18).
