HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!

Love the Walkers : )

A Bellingham Wedding!

Note - I don't know what the heck is going on with the photo spacing - oh well...

Sorry for the delay in the weekend post. I have been really busy with work.

On Sunday we drove up to Bellingham to celebrate my friend Kurtis' wedding day. We left here a bit early so we could have some extra time to ourselves in Bellingham. We got to drive by my old house and all my favorite places. We stopped by campus to walk around. I've only been gone three years and they've added a HUGE new building to south campus. I guess life goes on without me...

I remember standing in this same place three years ago in a black gown and funny hat.




Go Vikes! Once a Viking, always a Viking...














I use to study to this view every day




The class of 2006 time capsule!



The wedding was wonderful - they couldn't have had better weather. The reception was held in at the Bellingham Yacht Club and it was fun to mix with old classmates (both college and high school, Kurtis is a AHS alum). Chris and I both agreed that being wedding spectators is much lower stress then being the major players!

Look who we saw! The Wentzels came up (Brandon and Kurtis were roommates)



Bad photo - but us with Kurtis -



Kurtis and his beautiful new wife, Rose -


The couple sailed away on a yacht tied up outside the reception - talk about an exit in style! All in all a great weekend! I LOVE Bellingham... wonder if I could get Chris to move back there with me :)

A Weekend to Relax

I have been insanely busy at work lately so relaxing this weekend was welcomed.

Friday we had bear neutered so we took a low key weekend. We tried out a new vet. Dr. Larson is a mobile vet (http://peninsulamobilevet.com/). It is basically an entire vet clinic - on wheels! He came to the house and parked in the driveway (ok - ours is too steep. He parked the neighbors driveway, she referred us to him). It makes vet visits sooo convenient. I had to work on Saturday and Chris stayed home and watched the dog. Unless he has his cone on he has to be watched constantly to make sure he doesn't like his stitches. He put the cone on him in the evenings before bed. Are we bad dog parents if we think he looks absolutely ridiculous with that thing on??

 Post vet appointment - poor dog was still drugged up





Bear with his cone :(


Isn't that a pathetic looking dog??


We dusted off the Wii and had a friendly competition Saturday night (I think I lost though...)




Sunday we took it easy and celebrated our 6 month wedding anniversary! I know it's not a whole lot to celebrate but the secret is I had a coupon for a real nice seafood restaurant in Edmonds. We woke up early Sunday morning and took the dog on a long walk in the wonderful fall weather.We but the cone on the dog and stuck him in the kennel and we caught a late afternoon ferry over to Edmonds for a wonderful seafood brunch at Arnie's. The weather turned a bit windy so it was quite the boat ride over! It was a great to enjoy the afternoon and each other's company.

Us on the ferry! (notice I'm not smart enough to get the water in the background)





We had a very relaxing afternoon but came home to this...





How'd he get his cone off?!?!

Saturday evening Sears was having a big sale so I got Chris his Birthday/Christmas present a bit early. He's been stalking Sears for this toolbox just waiting for a good deal. He found a great deal so we trooped down there and picked it up! I guess there won't be anything under the tree for Chris this year ; )

Here he is playing with his new toy!


On deck for the weekend - drill for Chris and a wedding in Bellingham!
