Enjoying the breeze

Say hello to our new screen door!



Actually, "new" is incorrect. Bought this one at Second Use a couple of weeks ago. It was originally a very bright red, and the screen was slightly damaged. But hey, for $25, I'm up for a little repair work. Beats $100 for a decent new one I came very close to buying before calling Allison to look up Second Use's online inventory and finding this one.

We recently settled on our exterior trim colors, for when we finally get around to painting the eaves, fascia, and window casings. The door is the hale navy blue we selected, and will be the forward facing trim and fascia. The eaves, ceilings, inner window trim, etc will be cloud cover white. We hope to get that done before the summer is over...



Have a great week-

Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites!

Nordstrom's Annual Sale. I love Nordstrom's, it's one of the best things about living in Seattle. People think you are crazy if you even think about buying shoes somewhere else. And once you experience the great return policy, you'll understand why. Friday is the start of the annual sale and although I didn't because I hate crowds, I did so some shopping online.

Yoga on Beacon is one of my favorite places in the world. It's the best way for me to get relaxed and get away from everything. I've been going there for about 4 months now pretty regularly - I try to go every day, but I always miss Tuesdays. You should check out Power 2 with Dee which is one of the best workouts and I'm always sore the next day! If you live anywhere close to Beacon Hill, you should check it out.

Have a Great Friday!

This Blog is Back!

It's finally time to get this blog back in order. Hopefully I will get some help from my husband to keep it up to date with the projects and fun stuff we have going on around the house. I'll be trying to include some regular updated things to the blog as well. My friend, Liz, does a really great job with a Mosiac Monday and Friday Favorites so I might start to incorporate that as well to make sure that I maintain my strong userbase (HA!).

You might be wondering what we've been doing for the past 2 months? To name a few of the top activities...

1. Celebrating 5 years of marriage!

2. Traveling back to Michigan for a camp party

3. Practicing up on our lawn bowling skills - I am currently playing in two leagues. Wednesday and Thursday nights.

4. Working on the basement bathroom

5. Gardening like crazy

6. Doing a lot of yoga

7. Listening to Mariners Baseball

8. Riding our new scooter - Correction, the scooter doesnt go up hills, there is no "riding" going on right now.

9. Visiting our new favorite restaurant in Portland

10. Working

Rob - enjoying some wine at the Corson Building for our Anniversary

Us - At Sarah & Jeff's Wedding

We're Home!

Well we've been home now for about 5 days and already it seems like we've been back for a year. We had to quickly go right back to work. In fact, I dont think we are even unpacked yet. I have to post a trip report, but maybe I can do that this weekend. We had such a great time and we'll have hilarious memories for the rest of our lives. I am so happy to have finally been able to travel with friends, it made the trip so much more fun.

In the meantime, click here to see all of our pictures. Below are a few of my favorites.
