Happy Thanksgiving
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Nick and I spent the holiday with about a dozen family members at my uncle’s house. I made Muddy Buddies, Andes mint cookies, and my Great Grandma’s 3-layer Jello salad. Everything tasted great, even though my Jello salad morphed into Jello soup (Sorry, everyone! Grandpa figured out … 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
Piroshky Piroshky
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
Puyallup Fair
On Friday, Nick went on a work retreat with his Information School coworkers to Daybreak Star Cultural Center at Discovery Park. I don’t have a lot to report on that because I wasn’t there. 😛 Nick had a good time, though. On Saturday, we went to the Puyallup Fair with Dad and Amanda. The Puyallup Fair … Continue reading
Long-Awaited Update
Sorry we haven’t updated the blog in so long! We’re starting to settle into our new home. We love it here and most of our exploring lately has been just driving around through the neighborhoods of Seattle – nothing particularly picture or blog-worthy. The weather has been amazing lately! We’ve lost count of how many consecutive … Continue reading
Alki Beach Park
Since we have so many blueberries, I decided that it was time to do something with them! What a brilliant idea, huh? 😛 I always make blueberry muffins with mix from a box, so yesterday was my first time making blueberry muffins from scratch. I used a recipe I found online for “To Die for … Continue reading
Blueberries & Horses
Nick and I were busy yesterday! We took some boxes up to the cabin for storage and when we got there, Uncle Eric was there to greet us. We learned that he had been up at the cabin to carry wood from the dock all the way up to the driveway… and he could use … Continue reading
