Fine, I'll do it...

It's really hard for me to post pics of the house because I am not close to be done, but people keep asking me, so here we go. I have almost painted the whole house, but still have a lot of things left to do like drapes, etc. (I have issues) I still haven't found a good place to get accessories, which is probably a good thing, but not everything I have works quite like I would want it to, thats just the way it is when you move. I am trying to make due. We are still getting used to smaller spaces. Its more difficult then I thought it would be.

Take me out to the BALL GAME!

Had to hit a Mariner's game. It was a blast. Notice in all our pics, we are wearing winter clothes! (except Steve I have decided it HOT blooded) It is still so cold here. Most days don't get hotter than 75 degrees, so the nights cool off into the low 60's.
About the game: We played the White Sox and no one had a run the whole game, so we had to have extra innings, yes there is a word for that, but I have no clue what it is. Anyways, the White Sox finally scored, and we thought that we were had. Everyone was getting up and walking away. I knew if we did that, something big would happen, so we stayed put. We filled up the bases at the very end and beat 'em! It was so exciting! The kids were going ballistic...









San Juan Whale Watching Cruise

Its been a long time since I've blogged, but thought I would catch everyone up on what we have been up to. My mom and husband came to visit this last week, so we packed a lot in! Everyone was telling me to take a cruise out to the San Juan islands to see the whales. It was a LONG day! We had to board at 6:45 am and didn't get off the ferry until 7:15 that night. Well worth it. We say a ton of whales and the San Juans were very cool. The beauty here is inspiring. It never ends!

Doped up on Dramamine...You rarely see Steve take a snooze in the middle of the morning.
Orca Whales. There were a bazillion of them. Hard to capture a picture, because leagally the boat is not able to go within 100 yards of them. So you have to wait for them to come to you, which they eventually did.
Some sort of lazy sea life, I think they are seals of some sort...
