Date-Aversary

This week was the 3rd anniversary of our first date.

Matt took me to "The Quad" in middle of the University of Washington campus. The Japanese Cherry Trees were in full bloom, and the weather was perfect. He laid out a blanket and we ate a nice Italian dinner (Olives, mozarella, salami, good bread). Everything was perfect. (Except for me almost falling down the concrete stairs. Stupid heals.)

Afterwards, I took Matt to meet my parents and grandparents. Lots of pressure for a first date!

Our goal was to make it this far, so from now on we're just living on bonus time (It's a joke!) :)

I love you Matty! Here's to us surviving!

Evergreen State Fair!

We got to attend the fair this year, and we got the most beautiful weather to enjoy while doing it. We met up with our friends Sarah and Eric for some good ol' rotten fair food,and fun rides and games. Of course my favorite part is seeing all the cute farm animals, and the highlights are always the new baby ones! I would so have a pig if they didn't grow up to be so ugly. We also got to check out the convention center and we got to test out the "Tempur-Pedic" bed. The guys liked it so much they didn't care how gay they looked. Matt swears this will be our next purchase, but I have a hard time paying that much for a mattress when I can sleep anywhere.
When night hit, we headed into the Carnival area and had a great time on the rides.The boys went on all the spinning and flipping ones while us ladies sat back and laughed at them. However, Sarah and I did manage to get on the "Yo-Yo" for a fun but nerve racking spin around the carnival. The thing was really creaky and the seats were not very stable!
With the last of our tickets, Matt and Eric decided to get on the "Cyclone" to see how fast they could make it spin. Well, that didn't last long before they got so sick!! Don't you love Matt's attempted smile?We had a great time, even with upset stomachs and tired feet! Thanks Sarah and Eric for another exciting night in Monroe!

Special Olympics Bowling 08-09

Bowling started up again and Courtney and I were pretty excited to see all of our friends again. Courtney (and Dad!) were pretty frustrated with the first few scores, but I think that the new ball and the crooked floor will take some getting used to before we get up to last years numbers.Ken, Courtney and Briauna. We have such a blast with the people in our lane, and its a good thing too because bowling lasts all the way until February!
