A little catching up...crazy times!

Wow, the last few weeks have been a little bit of a blur. I had a great time at Michelle Syth's (now Leib) bachelorette party a few Saturdays ago. I had to get up early on Sunday to help with Higher Grounds and then Sunday night I did my presentation to the church for my trip to Poland and the rest of Europe. I was really nervous to get up in front of everyone but it went ok.



We had a BBQ with the Ensign family and had a nice time laughing and catching up. Wednesday was Lauren's birthday party at Anthony's--our server was unique (is that the best word to describe him) and then we went for cake and icecream....Ryan made the cake and used a few secret ingredients, but we all survived!! Thursday was dress rehearsal for the Friday wedding and then the guys went one way and the girls went another way.
The late night Thunderstorms were absolutely amazing around 11pm. I actually stopped and got out of the car to watch until the rain came. The wedding on Friday started as a panic but ended beautifully! Once the tables (and wedding party) dried out from the 6pm shower and wind storm, we buckled down and got everything set up for the ceremony. There was good food fun dancing and laughing with the friends.



We got up early Saturday and piled into four cars to drive over to another wedding in Seattle. The Wetterling wedding also had its share of rain and actually moved their wedding into shelter. It was really beautiful!


After the ceremony and reception, a group of us headed for our hotel to relax for a bit... ...and then we headed into Seattle for dinner and comedy. We were shut down on the comedy so we went back to the hotel and spent the evening just hanging out. Sunday turned out different than we thought and we found ourselves in decent seats at a Mariners game. They lost horribly but it was fun nonetheless!




After a trip to IKEA, Fry's and dinner at The Tav we finally made it home late Sunday...just in time to start another busy week!

Kim & Lisa are in town so I had dinner with them and was a baby hog with Amelia. I got some Zander time in as well, both are soooo cute and growing like crazy! We went to the movies to see The Dark Night---not a favorite but I liked some of the special effects. Tonight is dinner and a movie with a friend--girls night without kids! the rest of the week in planned and then camping on Friday and Saturday--my first trip up to Hell's Half Acre this year and probably the only one this year...bummer! One more week until Portland to COast and then three weeks in Europe! I am tired just typing so I need to rest up for all these activities!! I hope you all are well!!
