I LOVE Seattle!!

I just wanted to say how happy I am to be back in Seattle. I was telling Derek when we were on our way home from our honeymoon that you know you are living in a place you love when no matter where you go or how much fun you have, you are always happy to be returning home. I never felt like that when we were in Kansas. Posted is a picture of us at Alkai Beach with the whole city in the background. The camera wasn't able to capture the background at all, but it is such a great sight at night and I absolutely love it!

I Smell Spring!!!

We have had two really nice weekends in a row and I am loving this weather! Last weekend we were able to take a little walk around Greenlake. It is so pretty there and tons of people were out walking/running. I love to see so many people outside getting exercise and having fun!

This weekend Derek and I decided we wanted to go on a longer hike. On Sunday we stopped by my parents house to get the labs and took them to Wallace Falls. It is only about 20 miles from my parents house and the hike is beautiful! We hiked for about two hours and by the time we got back to the car the dogs were looking pretty tired, but they had a lot of fun.

Getting Back to Normal

As most of you know, Derek and I got married about two weeks ago and we just got back from our cruise Thursday night. Even though we had so much fun and exciting things going on these last few weeks, we are both a little relieved that we are able to get back to our normal lives.


I want to say thanks to everybody who made it to our big day and for all the wonderful gifts! We really appreciate it and are glad to have shared our special moment with you.


We had a lot of fun our honeymoon and were able to really relax and enjoy each others company. We also got a chance to play the newlywed game on the ship and are proud to say that WE WON!!
