Outing
Superbowl
Nick and I went out to dinner with his coworkers on Friday. We ate at Mexico Cantina y Cocina at Pacific Place in Seattle. Nick and I split the steak fajitas, which were yummy. We had a good time and it was nice to meet Andy and see Martin and Shelley again. On Sunday, we invited Mom … Continue reading
Happy Holidays!
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and thank you for the Christmas cards! Nick and I spent Christmas with family at my grandparents’ cabin. It’s a beautiful log cabin and my favorite place to spend Christmas. 🙂 Nick and I flew out here for Christmas a few years back and it actually snowed on … Continue reading
Magnificat and Amazon.com
Last Monday evening, Nick and I watched Amanda sing in PLU’s Christmas concert at Benaroya Hall in Seattle. Benaroya Hall is a beautiful building located in downtown Seattle and it features two glass “chandeliers” by local glass sculptor, Dale Chihuly. Amanda sang her heart out, even though she was sick. Poor Amanda. 🙁 On Thursday … Continue reading
Molbak’s and Purple
Nick and I just got back from an afternoon of fun with my mom. We went to Molbak’s, which is a well-known local plant nursery in Woodinville (about half an hour away). This time of year, though, they have all sorts of Christmas ornaments, decorated Christmas trees, a large collection of poinsettias, and samples of … Continue reading
Pancreatic Cancer Walk
On Sunday morning, Grandma and some of her friends (one of whom is a pancreatic cancer survivor) participated in PurpleStride Puget Sound, a fundraiser walk to support the fight against pancreatic cancer. It was located at Magnuson Park (right across the street from us), so Nick and I walked down to the park to cheer … Continue reading
Eye Exam

They started with a weird test that blew air in my eyes. Then, I had to read letters under various scenarios. They put some drops in my … Continue reading

On Saturday, Nick and I went to Pike Place Market with Mom and Amanda. Mom and Amanda took light rail and Nick and I took the bus. We met up at Westlake Center (a few blocks away from Pike Place Market). It took us 45 minutes (including walking 1/2 mile to the bus stop) to … Continue reading
Our First PLU Concert & Other Stuff
Before we left Michigan, Nick and I had a friend of ours (Shaun Pezeshki) take some pictures of the two of us around Wayne State’s campus. We got the pictures back a few days ago and I think they turned out pretty well. A few of the best pictures are below: I have been craving turkey … Continue reading
The Burke Museum
On Thursday, we took advantage of free museum Thursday and went to The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, which is on the University of Washington campus. Dad had never been to UW’s campus before, so we walked around campus a bit and saw where Nick works. It’s a very pretty campus and Nick … Continue reading
Pike Place Market
On Saturday, Nick and I met Mom at Pike Place Market. It was the first time Mom had taken the light rail from her home into Seattle, so that was a fun experience for her. Nick and I picked up an assortment of fresh vegetables for dinner (stir fry). Nick also got himself some more … Continue reading
