Just wanted to do a quick post to let you know that we're alive!
A quick recap of the past few weekends:
3 weeks ago our friends Matt & Adelle stayed at our apartment while their carpet was ripped out and new carpet was installed. I think that Matt and Adelle realized how small our couches are after claiming they didn't need a blow up. We woke up the next morning to find not only Matt & Adelle, but also baby Owen sleeping on one couch.. I should have taken a picture..
2 weekends ago Ben's friend Dave came up from California for a visit. We went to Agua Verde for dinner on Friday night and then on Saturday, Ben took Dave to Snoqualmie Falls while I went to a training for Big Brothers Big Sisters (I don't know if I've mentioned that I am hoping to become a Big Sister volunteer). Saturday afternoon we introduced Dave to the best burger ever at Red Mill, and then went bowling at the garage in capital hill. We spent the evening over at a house that Courtney was house sitting at. We made some yummy tacos, played some games and participated in earth hour by turning out the lights and lighting some candles. Glad to know we saved the earth a little :)
This past weekend we were super excited to go visit Ben's parents and grandparents in California. Unfortunately we got sick on Friday and after making it all the way to the airport, we decided that we shouldn't spend 5 hours on a plane and in a car while feeling like we did. We spent the entire weekend on the couch watching endless hours of Rick Steves, discovery channel and rachel ray while staring outside at the 70 degree sunny weather. We are recovered now and hope to reschedule our trip to CA shortly.
I'll try to post some pictures soon of Dave's visit- we actually used the camera a lot!
This weekend we are going to go clam digging for the first time! I really don't know what to expect, but it should be fun! We are going to stay at a friends of a friend's cabin on Friday night and make it back on Saturday for some clam fry ups.. i'll report later on how I feel about eating clams. On Easter we will have a brunch with some friends, go to church and eat too many reeses and chocolate. I've been sharing how my family used to blow the yolk & egg white out of the egg before dying them at Easter time. Everyone looks at me weird when I tell them this.. am I from the only family who did this?

Well if that is our only claim to fame in life-I will take it. What fun we had too. I think it had to do with the waste of dying boiled eggs and leaving them out. You can have a lot of scrambled eggs or quiches that way....
