Going into the weekend we didn’t really have much on the radar but somehow it turned out to be a really fun weekend. We squeezed a lot in and had a great time! We kicked things off on Friday. I started the day being tormented by the puppy and managed to break away to go …

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.

First Wedding Anniversary
It is hard to believe it has already been a year since our wedding! Alex and I talk often of the memories we have from the wedding and our whole celebration. What we remember most of all is how much fun we had. It has been really fun to look back through photos from …

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.

Party Weekend in Whistler
Whistler is one of Alex and my favorite places to vacation, so we were more than happy to attend our good friends’ Carrie and Patrick’s combined bachelor/bachelorette party in Whistler this past weekend. Their wedding isn’t until September but they share a love of skiing and actually got engaged just over a year ago at …
