About a year and a half ago Alex and I instituted a weekly date night as a way for us to ensure we set aside some time each week to just spend together. We did really well at keeping that up until a few months ago and then we let it become a bit more …

First 5K Completed!
This past weekend I ran my first 5K! I started running back in March and have been running around 3 miles a few times a week since I canceled my gym membership. Around the time I started running again, my friend Ali was scouting running partners for the Good Karma 5K during Memorial Day weekend. …
Sammy and Amy Came to Visit
Last weekend one of Alex’s friends from college came to visit us with his girlfriend. Alex and Sammy lived next door to each other during our sophomore year of college and became great friends once they learned that they both share a similar sense of humor and a love of beer and video games. Sammy …
Spring has Sprung!
Spring has arrived in Seattle and it is truly a blessing. Usually I feel like we get gypped with our springs because it still consistently rains through the 4th of July. Ask any Seattleite when summer begins and they’ll tell you it’s on July 5th! I think that Seattle gets 9 months of winter and then 3 …
Aloha Hawaii!
Alex and I just returned from a week-long vacation in Maui. We had a wonderful time exploring the island, catching up on relaxation, eating tons of fish and working on our tans. Here are some photos commemorating the trip.

Fred’s Trip to Seattle
For several years now, Alex and I have been trying to convince my dad to come out and ski with us. We really wanted to show him around Crystal Mountain, where we do most of our skiing, and prove that it stacks up quite well against his favorite place, Jackson Hole. So finally my dad …
March {Powder} Madness
March is notorious for being the month with the highest chances of skiing powder. At least that’s the case here in the Cascade Mountains. We were starting to think that it wouldn’t happen, but March 2013 sure has lived up to our expectations. St. Patrick’s day brought us an unexpected powder day – the best …
Bluebird Days, Cirque & Chocolate Cookies
We have been loving the spring-like weather that mother nature has thrown at us here in Seattle. The perennials are starting to sprout up, trees are starting to bud, and by golly, we’ve even seen sunshine! I’m not sure what that’s all about, but I am always in favor of seeing the sun. Last week …

Sarah’s Visit to Seattle
My lovely friend from high school, Sarah, just made her annual pilgrimage to visit us in Seattle. As with most Minnesotans, Sarah needed an escape from the bitter cold and snowy winter. Generally Sarah’s visits consist of clouds, fog and/or torrential downpours, but this time we dodged a bullet and got some sunshine and near …
