Weekend Wrap-Up

This weekend Derek and I celebrated our one year anniversary from when we got engaged. We took a trip to the coast and spent the night in a Yurt. The weather was gorgeous on Saturday and we both had an amazing time. The weekend was wonderful!!
These pictures were taken at a beach just past Aberdeen (I always forget the name of it). As we were leaving we got the car stuck! Luckily there were some nice people around to help us out. I'll just say my clutch wasn't very happy!

We had so much fun during the couple of hours we spent here. We collected sand dollars and shells, played soccer, and even went for a little jog down the beach.

We camped at Cape Dissapointment and ended up getting there right before sunset. The beach was walking distance from our camp site, so we decided to walk down and watch the sunset.

We found many ways to entertain ourselves as the sun went down!

The View was amazing!!!

The next day we decided to drive to Long Beach, which was only a few minutes from where we camped, and hung out at the beach there for a few hours. Sunday wasn't as nice weather wise though, so we enjoyed the beach from our car.

While we were sitting in the car just hanging out we kept hearing noises on the roof of our car. I looked out the window and noticed that a bunch of sea gulls had enclosed a circle around our car and were car bombing us! It was pretty funny.

After we left Long Beach we decided to drive to Astoria and go home that way. While in Astoria we came across the school where Kindergarten Cop was filmed and the house in The Goonies!

And that pretty much wraps up our fun weekend!!

Where's Gunther!?

A couple of mornings ago I was in the bathroom getting ready and I could hear noises in the living room. I knew Gunther was doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing...AGAIN!! I came out of the bathroom, but I couldn't find him. I took anther look around and finally spotted him! Even though he was supposed to be in trouble, all I could do was laugh. He just looked so funny hanging out in the coffee table!!!

We LOVE Cake!!!

Yes we do! So much in fact that we couldn't wait for a year to bust out our cake top from the wedding! Last Monday we toasted to almost three months together and then dug in! I must say, it was really good and really worth it!!!

An Evening at the Aquarium

Saturday night Derek's company had a big evening event that included drinks, dinner, dessert, and dancing. What made this event so unique and fun was that they rented out the whole Seattle Aquarium and held the event in there. It was a very cool setting! They had tables set up throughout and we were able to walk around and enjoy all the exhibits with wine in hand. It was a lot of fun and we both really enjoyed the night!

A Beautiful Weekend...or Saturday at least!

The weather we had on Saturday was absolutely beautiful!! My mom saw where it hit 82 degrees in downtown Seattle and I believe her because Derek and I spent the afternoon at Alkai Beach, along with every other person living in Seattle, and I was able to wear a tank top and NOT be cold! I know, amazing. We had a lot of fun enjoying the sun and warm weather. We walked around a little bit, drank some bubble tea, skipped some rocks, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the cascade mountains and the city from across the Puget Sound.

Saturday night we went to a bar in downtown Seattle for our friend Erin's 25th birthday. It was a fun party with lots of people and lots of karaoke. The crowd was very lucky to hear Derek sing "The Wheels on the Bus!" Along with the song we even got to see the arm and body motions that went along with the song. All I can say is it was pretty entertaining!

Gunther Update

We haven't written any Gunther updates for awhile so I figure I should let you guys know how he is doing. Well, he's still Gunther....he hasn't gotten any smarter, he still chews on the carpet, he still likes and expects his morning piece of toast, he hates getting sprayed with the water bottle, and he LOVES paper! Okay, even though he can be the biggest brat sometimes we both still think he is the most adorable little bunny. He provides us with evening entertainment and can even be a great cuddler. We just have to except the fact that no matter how many times we tell him no and spray him with the water bottle when he does something wrong, it will never register in his brain and 30 seconds later we will be telling him no and spraying him with the water bottle again!!

Biking Again

Derek has started to get back into riding his bikes again. The last few weeks he has been either road biking or mountain biking on a consistent basis and I can tell he is really enjoying it again, which makes me happy too. I wish I was more of a biker so we could go on more rides together, but the extremely bumpy trails always leave me cranky at the end of the ride. I think I will just stick to my running!

One thing that really cracks me up is the crazy gear that takes Derek about 20 minutes to get into. Maybe I just don't understand considering when I work out all I have to do to get ready is put on my running shoes. Derek on the other hand, well he has his biking gloves, his biking shoes, and then all of this funny looking spandex clothing that covers him from head to toe. I'm sorry, but I have to admit that I give him a lot of crap for wearing spandex! But on the other hand, if the spandex are to protect his body for if he ever crashes, which I hope NEVER happens, then I'm glad he wears. And Derek, you know I love you! I just like to give you a hard time for wearing spandex!!
