Small World

So I'm watching The Bachelor on Monday night and Zach is sitting in the same room. . .it gets to the scenes for next week's finale. . . To preface this, for the entire season I've thought it was weird that Jason's last name was Mesnick and I went on a few dates with a guy my freshman year of college with that last name. . .the scenes for next week show Jason's brothers and I instantly realize one of his brother's was the guy I dated! HA--AND to make it even more funny, Zach recognized him too and realized he was in his fraternity. I went to a dance in 95' with the guy and Zach most likely was there too. Small world. Kora and I even went on a double date once with Shawn and Larry, Jason's brothers. Of course, Zach was mad that I didn't remember being at a Delts dance in 95'--hello, that was forever ago, how I am supposed to rememeber that was the fraternity?!?! Anyways, thought I'd share my little claim to fame. hee hee I wish I could scan the pic of me from that dance--my hair was pretty huge. . .and I slipped and fell at the restaurant that night--with my dress on. Awesome.

It's so great to be a kid. . .

When I moved into the Woodinville house I immediatly put my "kid" hat on and got so excited for 1. the fact that our kitchen has two openings--I thought how much fun will it be for our kids to ride their hotwheels in circles through the house (we totally did that when we were little) and 2. we have this great corner cupboard with no lazy susan so it could make for a really fun fort someday. . .

Kyle, Amy and Sophia came to visit this past weekend and I got to try the fort out--Sophes loved it. . .not so sure Zach is too keen on the things I think I am going to allow our children to do someday. . .I say--lighten up! :) Amy told me that Auntie Kim has the best fort but Auntie Kora has the best Easy-Bake Oven--check it out. . .I think Kora needs to start selling those things. HA

Tick, Tock

As of yesterday, 2 months to go til the big day! We met with the coordinator at Sodo Park last week so I'm feeling pretty good about the plan for that day. I will admit that I'm not in love with her as she is not the most responsive person and doesn't sell the venue at all but I do LOVE the place so I'm trying not to think too much about how frustrated I could be getting. . .thank goodness I plan things like this for a living so I know what to do and what to ask. I practically ran the meeting last week. On Sunday I met with Megan, who is doing our invites so those are pretty good to go. I just need to decide how I want my RSVP cards to be worded and then we can hit "Print". Zach and I finally registered but it was hard so we don't have anywhere near the amount of items the people tell you to register for but oh well. My dress is supposed to ship on Feb. 12th so should be here the week after--I can't wait to try it on in my size!!! I haven't been stressed at all with the planning but am starting to feel it a bit now that we are so close and have to meet with people and make final decisions but it is all fun stuff and so exciting.

New Furniture

Underhills is closing most of its stores so Zach and I took advantage of the huge sale! We bought a bedroom set, a coffee table, end table, dining room set and entertainment stand. We love it all and couldn't beat the prices. Underhills has beautiful furniture if anyone is furniture shopping. :)

Look at our huge A bed!

Saying good-bye to more trees

Sorry this video is sideways. . .

What we came home to. . .

This is what was happening at our house while we were on vacation. The crew will be back this week to do the backyard and clean up. I will be measuring the windows immediatly so we can get blinds!!!

Whistler Visitor. . .

I've been in Whistler since Tuesday evening. Everyone skiis or boards and I work during the day then meet up for the nightly festivities. It's been very fun and beautiful. Last night some of us girls decided to stay in and watch movies. We went to bed, one gal on the couch. . .non eventful. . .until about 5:30 in the morning when we realized some strange guy was passed out in front of our fireplace a few feet from the gal on the couch. Luckily the guys were back so we weren't scared and we could tell the guy was drunk beyond belief. I guess we left our sliding glass door unlocked and he was mesmorized by our warm fire. We tried to ask questions of where he was staying etc. but he just couldn't remember so Marv let him stay in our condo. He slept out there with him to make sure nothing crazy happened. We woke up this morning and he barely remembers anything but luckily did remember that his hotel is above a liquor store in the village. He didn't have a cell phone so we hope he found his way back. We thought about calling the police last night but felt bad for the guy and could tell that he was harmless. He was really thankful. . .all he wanted to do today was snowboard. Poor little 22 year old UW SAE. :)
