Our Vacation!!!!

Well we went on vacation this past week and it was lots of fun and very busy. I'm so glad we were able to go but I am also very glad that we are now home so that I can get back to looking for a job and enjoying my time before I do start working.
On our 1st day this is what we did.
Spent 3.5 hours in Reno Airport











After spending about 6 hours total on airplanes or in airports we finally arrived in SEATTLE, WA. We spent some time with our friends and then we went here....
  
Where I watched my first major league baseball game to bad the Mariners lost.
 I know it's a cheesy smile but it's what I was giving at the moment.

This is what we did on day 2.
Washington Lake
After we went to Washington Lake we had lunch and then we headed over to see
this who would have thought that going to Washington we would see this lady.
We also went to Pike Place Market where we did this.
Gum Wall under Pike Place Market
Yes we each chewed a piece of gum and stuck it on the wall. Just to warn you it was really smelly down there.
I hope we all know what this is
We also went over to the Space Needle, no we didn't go up because we didn't think $25 per person was worth it so but we got to take a pic and go into the gift shop. After we went there we went to dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and that was fun.

On day three we spent the day outside and went on a hike and had a picnic lunch. This was the first place we went for a hike and saw that the trail was closed.
Snoqualmi Waterfalls
After going there we went over to ...
Twin Falls, WA
I'll admit when they were talking about it I was a little skeptical because how could they have a Twin Falls like the one in Idaho. Any way it was such a nice hike and having lunch with this view was so great.
So glad we were able to find the waterfall
That night there was a party which we attended and then on Saturday I attended a baby shower for my friend and Mitch went bowling. After that we attending another party and it was very fun and enjoyable. We were able to spend our time getting to know our friends families and see where they came from and why they are they way they are.
THANKS NEIL AND EMILY FOR THE INVITE AND TAKING US TO ALL OF THOSE PLACES. WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

Long Day and No Ball Game

So I've worked on my quilt yet again today want to see what it looked like earlier today, well here it is...
It's starting to come together, I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing what the final product will look like. I'm really excited to get done with it and have the finished product.  We had been planning on going to the baseball game tonight and it would have been lots of fun. But we didn't get to go because the Man had to drive to Jackson and didn't get home in time to go. So what a bummer, we were going to take my Grandma and she was really excited to but the Man was so tired we just couldn't go.

More Quilting

So I know that I still haven't posted any pics of my car but I just haven't taken any and we'll see when it actually happens. Hopefully this next week my fingers are crossed.
Going on, I've still been working on my quilt and this is what it looked like as of last Friday.
This is not what it looks like currently but maybe I'll take a pick when it is laid out tomorrow, it is really coming along if you ask me. I think it is going to look very elegant and classy. Looking forward to also seeing the end and see what it really ends up looking like.
On another note, still don't have a job that I want, still looking though. I'm really looking forward to having a real job not just a job to get me to the next step. This is the next step. Oh on top of that I will be sending out my graduation announcements soon. Don't know how soon, I can never seem to get things out on time hopefully this will be better than the thank you cards that were supposed to be sent out to those who gave us wedding presents.
Oh, so excited that JP won on the Bachelorrette. Don't think that I would have watched another season if he had lost.
Hope your Tuesday will be as good as mine!!!
