One time, in 2014, we rented a cabin in Leavenworth with our close friends. We had such an amazing time with our families, we vowed to do it again the next year. Except that the babies kept coming and life got busy and 2014 turned in 2015, which turned into 2016, and that lead into 2017 and still no cabin trip. But in 2018, we put it on our Friends Goal List and made it happen. We packed up our kids and our bags and our kids' bags, and hit the road. This was our cozy cabin in Ronald, ... Read More
Sugar Wish
A few weeks ago I received an email that said I had received a gift from Corianne. My first thought was what diet did she sign us up for now, but then I saw my 2 favorite words ever: SugarWish. If you haven't yet heard of SugarWish, allow me to introduce you. It's website where you can send friends candy. CANDY. And they get to pick what they want. And for people like me, whose love language is Giving/Receiving Gifts, it's like winning a new iPhone car house. I'm not sure what the correct ... Read More
Dave Matthews 2015
It's official. Summer is over. I can't believe how fast it went! And as sad as I am about the days getting shorter and the weather turning colder...I have to admit I'm ready for some structure back in our lives. But we'll get to all that tomorrow. This weekend was Labor Day Weekend and we couldn't have ended summer on a better note. Like always, we headed over to eastern Washington to see Dave Matthews for their 50th show at The Gorge. Okay, yes, I haven't seen him play anywhere else ... Read More
Cannon Beach
After this weekend, 2 things are clear to me. 1.) Cannon Beach is gorgeous. So much cleaner than the beaches in Washington. 2.) I'm in my mid-thirties. Sleeping in is 8am and I can't spend all weekend out and go to work the next morning without a huge headache. Sighes. But anyway, Cannon Beach was so fun. This was the view from our hotel window. Blue skies and Haystack Rock. We stayed at the Surfsand Resort and I can't say enough good things about them. It was clean, good sized rooms, pool and ... Read More
Dinner Date
Last week I had a dinner date with one of my best friends and we had a BLAST. We decided to try a new restaurant downtown and we were not disappointed. The photo above is of the Hazelnut Ravioli. I didn't know they could put hazelnuts in pasta...but it makes me wonder...what else could they put in pasta? Rice? Fruit? Skittles? I'm not really the adventurous type, mainly because I don't like to buy something and not like it. I'm always good with an Applebee's Happy Hour and their Beer Cheese ... Read More
