Pictures
We got some professional pictures taken for the office and for our marketing/brochures/website. Plus we just wanted some for our house. I think they turned out pretty cute! Well, these are a few of my favorites...

Luck, or Miracle?
4:30 - Tom leaves for the airport. He's going to Utah to work. His plane leaves at 6:30.
4:45 - Tom's gas light comes on.
4:55 - Tom stops at a gas station in Spokane to get gas
5:20 - Tom gets to the airport
5:25 - Tom boards the shuttle from the parking lot, sits down, looks for his wallet in his pocket to tip the driver, and can't find his wallet. Tom then gets out of the shuttle, goes back to his car and begins a frantic search for his wallet. NO LUCK!
Tom then calls me completely panicked.
"Well hun, did you leave it at home?"
"No, I had it when I got gas. I think I set it on top of the car and must have drove off."
"I'll get online and find the gas station and call it. Get BACK in the car and head towards the gas station."
"OK, but my plane leaves in less than an hour. There is no way I'll make it."
"Just GO."
We both say a little prayer. HELP!!! About 2 minutes pass when...
5:35 - REI calls Tom's phone. "I just got a call from a police officer in downtown Spokane that has your wallet. Here is the phone number. He said to call him directly." (Apparently the police officer called REI when he found Tom's REI card in the wallet and REI luckily had his cell number on file.)
Tom calls the police officer
5:45 - Tom meets up with the police officer in downtown Spokane and starts racing back to the airport.
6:05 - Tom pulls back into the airport parking lot, parks his car (in a closer lot where he can make a mad dash for the Southwest counter). He makes it to the counter, checks his suitcase, gets through security.
6:25 - Tom makes it to his gate with 5 minutes to spare!
Luck or miracle?
Tom checked for his wallet before he got to the ticket counter...
A police officer had his wallet...
He called right away...
REI had his cell number...
He made it back in time to park and check a bag...
Tom made the LAST flight of the day to Salt Lake (he has a full day of patients scheduled tomorrow)...
We feel blessed!
