Social Gathering
Munchkin & Tandoori Chicken
A few days ago, Nick and I bought Munchkin, a role-playing card game that we’ve been wanting to try out. On Saturday, we went down to visit Amanda and brought Munchkin with us. We had fun wielding the Rapier of Unfairness while wearing the Horny Helmet. Together, we fought monsters like the Gelatinous Octahedron, Flying … Continue reading
Seahurst Park
Martha Sue, Jim, Mom, Nick, and I removed another post-it note when we visited Seahurst Park Friday evening. Mom and Amanda had visited Seahurst Park for the first time on Sunday and loved it, so Mom was excited to take us there. Because we went there in the evening, though, we weren’t able to see the Olympic … Continue reading
Volunteer Park
For the last couple of days, Nick and I have been spending time with my great aunt and uncle, Martha Sue and Jim, who are visiting from Texas. On Wednesday, we spent the evening with them at Mom and Amanda’s. Yesterday, we (Martha Sue, Jim, Mom, Amanda, and I) started the day by going to Saint … Continue reading
An evening on Capitol Hill
Last night we met with Marie’s mom and sister (Carrie and Amanda), her great aunt and uncle (Marian and Karl) and their daughter and her son (Sally and Sam). While on Capitol Hill we stumbled upon some folks playing Bicycle Polo on a tennis court at Cal Anderson Park (picture above). It’s pretty crazy to watch … Continue reading
Emerald Downs
On Saturday Amanda, Marie and I went to Emerald Downs. Carrie had some free passes from work, but couldn’t go because she had to work (lame right?). It was a ton of fun watching the races, and we even did a bit of gambling and bet on our favorite horses. We had beautiful weather and the … Continue reading
Three weeks later
The picture to the left is Drumheller Fountain. It’s right outside Mary Gates Hall (the building I work in) and on a clear day like today, you can see Mount Rainier in the distance. Unfortunately it doesn’t show up as well in the photo as it does in person. I’ve been working at the University … Continue reading
Mmm… raspberries!
One of the best parts of summer is enjoying fresh produce and one of my favorite things from childhood was eating raspberries off of Grandma and Grandpa’s raspberry bushes. 🙂 The trick when gathering raspberries is that for every two you eat, you put one in the gathering bowl. 😉 So, we went to Grandma … Continue reading
One week anniversary
Yesterday marked our one week anniversary of living in Seattle. Woo! The weather is sunny and 70 degrees right now and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us. I’m glad we aren’t dealing with the heat that the rest of the country is putting up with. 😉 We haven’t blogged in a few days, so … Continue reading
First Seattle Show
Nick and I went to our first show since our move to Seattle. My friend, Matt, is the drummer for a band called The Vain Transparent and they performed last night at Studio 7. I missed the name of the first band that performed, but the second band was a group from Arizona called Fight the … Continue reading
Old Apartment – Before & After
We are busy people! Sorry we haven’t updated the blog in a few days; we have been out and about and the data is come-and-go at the cabin. On Wednesday, July 6, we spent the day with Mom and Amanda. We got to see Mom’s new house and the surrounding area. We also drove past … Continue reading
