Catching up and Looking forward
Is it me? Or does it seem like April and May have flown by?! And, June is quickly approaching?!
Well, I ran in the SLC Marathon on April 18th. That same evening, Nathan came home from a REV game with an injury to his ACL. So, the date is a bittersweet memory. I was elated with my time and Nathan was disappointed that his football season ended abruptly.
However, an injury does NOT keep the Washingtons away from football. We have faithfully attended the REV games near & far. Here are a few shots of the REV at Blitz in St. George, UT on Mother's Day weekend.
Hmmm... yes, that "wild child" in the multi-colored polka dots was definitely "sugared-up" and kept herself entertained with everything but the football game. She did, however, notice the full moon and the scoreboard at the end...
Since the REV game was 4.5 hours away in WARM & SUNNY summer-like weather, we decided to incorporate Mother's Day into the weekend. My mom came along with us for the trip. We had a blast! On our way home, we had lunch and visited Zion's National Park.
The pictures of Zion capture a 10th of its beauty. Zion is an appropriate name for this beautiful spot in the world. As the sun moves across the red rock, the picture God paints is truly amazing!
Upon returning home, Nathan had his ACL surgery. He is recovering well. As a matter of fact, he was able to bend his knee 96 degrees at physical therapy. We pray that his progress remains this great!
Now, we are looking forward to June. Not only will Kathy, Chuck and TRISTAN visit us in Park City, but also JR will return to Dallas with them to visit ya'll. YEAH! :)

Brotherly Love
So work has had me on the road quite a bit lately. In the past month, I've been to Charlotte twice, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. I'm working specifically with nonprofits who fit our Arts & Cultural vertical - so I'm going to museums and arboretums and learning how they operate to ensure our products will meet their needs. It's pretty fun!
Our final trip for the first phase of these visits concluded in Philadelphia, which is where the pictures in the slideshow are from. My teammate and I ran the steps like Rocky in front of the Museum of Art (a client of ours), we stayed downtown, and really got a feel for the city which we loved!
Matt was able to come up for the weekend, and we did everything any Philly tourist would possibly try to do! First I surprised him with a visit to one of our other clients, The Rosenbach Museum, which is situated in a quaint neighborhood downtown, former house of the Rosenbachs. The exhibit just happened to be Maurice Sendak, likely most well-known for his illustrations in Where the Wild Things Are. Fun!
Afterward, we walked the entire city, visiting Reading Terminal Market, City Hall, Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross house, Ben Franklin's grave, The Christ Church, Love Park, Chinatown, etc. You get the idea. Enjoy the pictures!
I look forward to coming to Dallas next weekend!
Until then,
Shannon
