relax

On Saturday we took off to Cannon Beach for the day. The weather was about 70 degrees with no wind at all...you can't ask for a better day at the beach! We took a long walk, visited our favorite brewery restaurant (it's a tradition now!), played frisbee with Chloe, took a nap...ahh it was so wonderful! Can't wait for summer.

warm weekend in Seattle

This past weekend was sooo fabulous! We spent a long weekend in Seattle with my parents and couldn't have asked for better weather. It peaked at about 82 degrees and all of us came away with sunburns. On Saturday my Dad and Jeff took Chloe on a run down on Alki beach and had coffee; later that morning the four of us visited the Ballard Locks and watched the boats and yachts passing between the Puget Sound and Lake Union. We had a yummy dinner that evening downtown in Belltown at an open-air restaurant and enjoyed the last bits of sunshine. I think the day was enough of a tease that we're ready for summer!!

before and after

We are finally finished with our kitchen remodel (although the drywall still needs to be patched up with finishing touches at the opening above the sink). It was a long month of late nights and a very dusty, dirty house! Lots of BBQ-ing, microwave meals and eating out too! We are so happy to have our kitchen back and are enjoying it so much.

Lake Tahoe

On March 15, my wonderful friend Chelsea got married in Lake Tahoe! We have known each other since the beginning of high school so it was fun to be a part of the wedding. Whitney, Kristen, and I all traveled together and had such a fun girls weekend. It was snowing off and on the entire time, which was so beautiful. I added the first picture because it is a hilarious shot of all of us getting pictures taken in frigid temperatures down by the lake...which didn't last very long as soon as the photographer made us take off our coats and Ugg boots! ;-) Brrrr! The weekend was definitely full of good laughs and catching up.
