Dinner with friends

Saturday night we met up with Ben and Janet from Calgary. Matt knew Ben from his mission, and he and Janet headed down this way for some Seattle shopping. We drove into Seattle to the Melting Pot, and everything was so good. The dessert alone is worth going (and the price). Then we drove them up to Kerry Park for the beautiful view.

Dodge Ball

"Dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge." -Patches O'HulihanMatt is on a Dodge ball league with his friends Brett and Aaron. I finally got the chance to watch a game last night, and it was so fun. I couldn't get any good pictures because the lighting was horrible and everyone moved around so quickly.

Everyone was a really good sport, and I believe Matt's team won 4-11. Here he is all alone on the court. The rest of his team got pegged out, and he managed to catch the other teams balls for a win. Go Matty!Here is Matt and Brett stretching before the game. They are really serious about this sport!

Harrison + Whip = Real Excitement!

For those of you who don't know (there are probably very few of you) I am a little, ok a lot obsessed with Indiana Jones. There are only two words that describe my love for the series, and they are "drooling" and "aww". I learned both of these in grammar school.

So you can imagine my excitement for the 4th movie that is to be released on May 22nd 2008. I was reading through some "Indie News" today, and I found this gem of a picture.They just announced that Karen Allen will be a part of the new movie "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I LOVED her as Marian in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and I cant wait to see her again!! Its also great to see that Shia LaBoufe has also been casted. (Even though he looks like a homeless guy in the picture)

So, get out your khakis and brown suede hats, because the count down has begun!!!

Offer Accepted!

They finally accepted our offer on the house! We are so excited, and we got everything that we need included in the buy. A big thank you to Matt's parents who have been helping us along the way, and to Chris and Tiffany for all of their assistance.

The house is 3 bedrooms (a HUGE master) and 2.5 baths. The downstairs bathroom has the cutest sink! (I am easily pleased) The kitchen is very roomy, and all the appliances are stainless steel. They are also including a brand new washer and dryer and a fenced and landscaped back yard. The garage has more than enough space and Matt is very excited to build a shelving unit in there. There are wood floors in the dining room, kitchen and entry and the rest is carpeted with a REALLY nice shag. The fireplace is gas, and there is a lot of storage space. The house is right next to a wildlife preserve so we get to hear frogs instead of the road and watch blue herons! I'm excited to see what Princess will hunt out of the pond. Actually, not really.I love everything about it!
