Pictures from Quinn's R & R

Just a couple pictures. We were by ourselves most of the time so I didn't really get a chance to take too many pictures.

Portland wanted to welcome us!

Out in Seattle

R & R

Quinn just spent the past 15 days back in WA. He was initially scheduled to have his 2 week leave in April, but was bumped up due to conflicting dates with other officers. Even though I wanted to wait as long as possible to have him come back, it was nice having him here. I only have a month and a half or so before I have to start doing a lot for my sister’s wedding. Hopefully at that point the time will start flying! Quinn and I kept busy while he was here. I had a few things that needed to get done that I either didn’t have time to do or didn’t know how to do so poor Quinn got stuck doing it for me. We went to Portland for a Brew Bus Tour which we didn’t end up doing it because it seemed kind of cheesy with just the two of us so we drove 2 ½ hours to have lunch! We saw a few movies and went to a Burlesque show in Seattle which was really entertaining. The host was great and the girls were fun.
I had to work the whole time, but it gave Quinn some much needed time to relax and catch up on the sleep he’s been missing out on being in Iraq. He met me almost everyday for lunch which was great. We had an hour in the middle of the day to spend together. Bubba was also happy to see him, and I was happy that Bubba was happy because that meant no dog duty for me for 2 weeks!!! That may have been the highlight of the whole time he was here (for me at least haha). The time went by way too fast, and it makes it hard to get back into the routine I created for myself over the past 6 ½ months. Hopefully within the next week or so I can get back on track and just start looking forward to August. We may try to get to Utah over Labor Day weekend so that will be fun. I think I only have one picture of Quinn’s 2 weeks here so I will post that later on. We had fun, but I think we’re both pretty ready for this to be done!
