Alex’s dad has been out here for the long holiday weekend and was itching to go cross country skiing. We headed to our trusty spot at Hyak out at Snoqualmie Pass and showed him where we’ve been going this winter. The weather was pretty good – it was rather warm. Mother Nature was having a …

Ben’s First Hike
I’ve been wanting to get out on a hike all summer and for some reason we never made it happen until this past weekend. It was SO nice to be out in the mountains and in nature. We hadn’t taken Ben on a hike yet but this weekend afforded us the perfect opportunity. We opted …
Fifth Annual Leavenworth Trip
One of Alex and my favorite weekends all year is our annual trip to Leavenworth with some of our friends. Each year our trip looks a little different – typically we perfect something we learned the year before. This year’s trip wins for the most changes from last year — babies and a new house …
Holiday Weekend at Home
It is so nice that Alex’s employer has added President’s Day to the list of company holidays. Those extra days off make such a difference. We had a thoroughly relaxing long weekend at home and enjoyed taking Monday off. Friday night we went out for dinner at none other than Bottlehouse. Prior to dinner, though …
The Happenings
This last week flew by! I’m not sure where the time really went, to be perfectly honest. Here are some of the highlights from our last week of January… The weather goes in both the highlight and lowlight category – we had several days of complete and utter downpours but then we had just as …
Mid-Winter Slump
I think it’s safe to say no matter where you are in the country that January is typically a boring month with crummy weather. Everyone is recovering from the holiday craze and mother nature is taking it out on us all… Here in Seattle has been no exception. The last two weeks have been wet …
Relaxing Weekend in Leavenworth
For a lot of occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and Christmases Alex and I opt to get each other “experiences” rather than something tangible. For us, the time together is more meaningful. This year my Christmas gift to Alex was a weekend away in Leavenworth, Washington at the Sleeping Lady Resort. We cashed in on Alex’s …
The Late October Happenings
Other than being in the midst of our bathroom renovation, plus our living room, dining room and bedroom redecorating we don’t have a whole lot going on! Since our trip for Julie and Ryan’s wedding in mid-October we haven’t had too many plans, so we’ve been enjoying time at home. It’s really nice to feel settled and mostly on top …
Illinois Trip + Julie & Ryan’s Wedding
Alex and I flew back to Illinois one last time this past weekend to celebrate the nuptials of my wonderful college friend and roommate, Julie, and her now husband, Ryan. Conveniently, Julie grew up in Geneva, Illinois, which is the town right next to Batavia, where Alex’s parents currently live. It works out quite well …
Fourth Annual Leavenworth Octoberfest Weekend
We’ve got another Leavenworth Octoberfest weekend in the books! This marks our fourth consecutive year making the pilgrimage to Leavenworth, Washington with three other couples to enjoy a relaxing getaway in the mountains. We all arrived late afternoon/early evening on Friday and spent the evening playing games, chatting and eating! Our trip this year was …
