I Hear Wedding Bells!

My "Seester" is getting married!!! I am so excited for her and Adam. Congratulations to both of you!

Mary and Adam have been together for a few years now and watching their relationship change and grow has been wonderful. Adam is such a good person and treats Mary the best. Mary does so much for Adam and loves him unconditionally - she has even become a morning person.

I look forward to your wedding and watching your life transpire with all the good things that are going to come your way. You are two people who deserve the best and you got it!

Love you both!

A Camel in Friday Harbor???

Friday Harbor is a great place to relax for the weekend. Chris planned a weekend away for us. It was well needed and much appreciated. We ventured around the island on Saturday visiting a couple light houses, a couple wineries and...............a camel named Mona who was very sweet. We also saw several otters, sea lions and dear. The weather was brisk and sunny - perfect for an October weekend. The weekend ended by a visit at my parents and Chris' parents, which is always a good time.

Pumpkin Fun!

It was great to have Natalie (in the brown)and Morgan (in the orange) with us this weekend to bring out all the fun things having to do with Halloween that sometimes adults miss. Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch and ventured through the corn maze and the mud. From there we went to Gene and Marilyn's for some good family time and dinner. Sunday Morgan and I made zucchini bread in the morning and then we all went back to Gene and Marilyn's so the kids could carve pumpkins and the adults could watch football. It has been nice to be able to enjoy a family as much as I enjoy mine.

Seahawks

Sunday evening, Chris and I were able to go watch the Seahawks game. I am starting to think that I need to stop attending football games, as teams seem to loose when I'm present. My work rented a suite for the game, so there were lots of friends, food and fun. The weather was great. It was nice to spend the evening with Chris and introduce him to some of the people I work with.

Sun and Football

The sun was better than the football, but the company was the best. Angie, Jill, Lisa and I met at the hotel in Tempe on Friday morning and the fun started right at that moment. There was lots of laying in the sun, several drinks; even slurpy type drinks, which I wouldn't recommend. Friday night we found ourselves at a dueling piano bar, where "Sue Pat" was the hit of the night. Saturday there was more pool time and then the football game Saturday evening. Unfortunately the Huskies didn't show up for the second half. I think they flew back to Seattle early??? Other than the score of the game, the weekend was perfect. Thanks to you all for such a great relaxing weekend. Which out of town game are we going to next year??

Aprille!

Last weekend I was fortunate enought to take Thursday and Friday off and head to Arizona to see an old high school friend. The great thing about spending time with Aprille is we always pick up where we left off. Even if it's been many months since we've spoken, it's just like old times. Aprille - it was so great to see you and Brian and see how your life is. Thank you for letting me stay with you. I'm so excited you spent the Friday with me and my other great friends. I love you dearly and wish we were closer.

Happy Birthday My Dear Friend Amy!

Happy Birthday Amy! Thank you for all of the fun, the laughs, the tears, and of course the beers over the last 12 years. You are the absolute best and I can't imagine life with out you my dear friend. You bring out the best in people and I am grateful to you and all you have done for me. May the coming year be the best thus far for you - love, laugh, live!

Tailgating Fun - Hosted by G & J!

Garrett and Jill - thank you for hosting such a great tailgate! It was way too much fun! As usual a good time was had by all, thanks to................jello shots, trash talk, purple pimp hat, purple haze, friends, family, rain and some good ole Dawg Fans!

Congratulations Sharon and Matt!

I am SO excited for you both - Congratulations from the bottom of my heart! Matt proposed to Sharon last Thursday evening. This is great news for two great people. It is apparent you have the love and respect for each other that makes a relationship a success. I wish you the best always and will be here for you if you need anything.
