We were both hoping for a boy but would've beeen excited either way. The ultrasound was very positive that it's a little man. I will post pictures as soon as I can but working with an ancient laptop that has a mind of it's own is a bit frustrating. We've officially told our friends and family and everyone is as excited as we are. Funny thing is that I thought it was a girl all the way up until the day of the ultrasound and then I was thinking, "I bet it's a boy" and sure enough, it is!!! Our gender reveal party was great and I'm so glad we got to see my friends and family and suprise them! Most thought the baby was going to be a girl! Suprise!!! And here is the weekly stat log I'm starting.</span><br /><br />Stats for this week (I saw how my friend Marin did this and I've decided this is how I'm going to do my blog as well):<br /><br /><strong>Today is day 147 of being pregnant. </strong><br /><strong>In week 21. </strong><br /><strong>133 days to go.</strong><br />Baby is about 10.5 inches long, roughly the size of a banana and weighs around 12.7 ounces.<br /><br /><strong>Cravings</strong>: Still craving watermelon and that is about all. Lately I've been wanting cereal, but not sure I would classify that as an actual craving<br /><br /><strong>Aversions</strong>: The smell of eggs still kills me and I haven't been wanting meat the last few days which is super weird for me<br /><br /><strong>Sleeping</strong>: I haven't really been able to get comfortable lately. A lot of it is due to the heat and even though my ceiling fan helps alot, my back and hips are still sore and every time I have to turn over I wake up. Been having CRAZY dreams lately as well. Very vivid.<br /><br /><strong>Movements: </strong>I've been feeling little flutters here and there, an occasional little dance on my bladder, and this past week a couple of big thumps that I knew were the baby. Brandon can't wait to be able to feel the kicks as well. Still kind of creeps me out.<br /><br /><strong>Other stuff: </strong>I went to Monterey, California this past week with my mom, Alex and Ryan and had a GREAT time. I was nervous about flying but popped some Benedryl and that did the trick. Thank goodness for the short two hour flight. It was hard for me to get comfortable and my legs and back were sore at the end from sitting. The day we got home I met Brandon right after getting off the plane at the first preseason Seahawks game and all the walking, heat and being sore from flying really did a number on me. But I survived. When I got home I was also suprised to see that Brandon had moved the big furniture out of the baby's room (which was the office) and my mother in law had brought over some super cute baby boy clothes. I spent part of yesterday cleaning out the rest of the baby room and I hung up the clothes. They look so cute in the closet. Brandon also took me to Babies R Us yesterday and we looked at cribs and other stuff that we liked. I've been very fortuante to get a few hand-me-downs from some great ladies that I work with so we really don't need to buy much. Look for pictures soon!!!!<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-89760895177697785622012-07-30T12:39:00.000-07:002012-07-30T12:39:26.134-07:00At long last, I blog againI always mean to write new posts. Not like my life is uber interesting, and I doubt people even remember I have a blog since it's been so long since I've written. But here I am once again. <br />
<br />
There really isn't even a point in trying to catch up with everything from the last two years, so we'll start from the beginning of this year (there's really not that much!). <br />
<br />
January- March: We rung in the new year but can't even remember if we even did anything. We did our annual Whistler trip with dear friends Dan and Kellie and Dan's sister Amy and her husband Nathan joined us this year. It was a blast. I love Whistler. (PICS WILL COME SOON!) Valentine's Day we had a nice dinner. I'm sure it was really nice but again, I can't remember. In March we had Brandon's birthday which we celebrated with a pajama party for him and Kellie since their birthdays are so close together. It was good times.<br />
<br />
April-June: In late April we found out that we are EXPECTING! Our first child is due to arrive on or around December 24th. We are very excited and can't wait to meet the little bean. In May I went to Wenatchee with Shawn and her sisters to spend time at their parents house for Memorial Day and it was nice to get in the sun. Unfortunatley June wasn't the best of months, we had to lay our wonderful pup Chelsea down to rest. It was hard on me for quite awhile and even now I'm still tearing up. She was doing great until the last day or so when she started having seizures. She lived a great life and we will always think of her and miss her greatly. On a happier note, we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. We went shooting at the range and then went out to dinner in Mill Creek. <br />
<br />
July: For the 3rd of July we packed up the tent trailer and went to Big Lake to Shawn and Nick's house for the 2nd annual Big Lake Bash. Big Lake celebrates the 3rd of July up at the lake and we had fun with great friends, food and fireworks. Can't wait to go again next year! the actual 4th of July we spent with our neighbors watching the firework shows in our neighborhood. Always a good time when we're hanging out with the neighbors. We also found out the gender of the little one in my belly this month but our gender reveal party titled "Waddle It Be?" that is being hosted by Shawn will be August 5th. I cannot wait for that. I have great friends and family that will be attending so hopefully I'll get some great pics.<br />
<br />
SO that's all for now, but I am planning to start posting (well, TRY) weekly with pregnancy updates but we'll see how it goes. I still need to take my first "belly" picture.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-60216362879265090412010-12-15T12:23:00.000-08:002010-12-15T12:34:07.640-08:00VEGAS<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">In October the ladies went to Vegas for Kellie's bachelorette party! There were 9 of us girls and it was a total blast! We stayed at the Monte Carlo and while we were there we explored the strip, saw Holly's Peep Show, spent some time in the pool/lazy river, spent at night at Toby Keith's bar, went to the Minus 5 Ice Bar and just had a great time partying together. I'm planning a trip there again soon!<br /></div><div align="center"> </div><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551009785443917426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbOyXFNOOVMbJt61nNF072NrDDYZb5wixs6wvwvbLAfM_bZEYZ7Ch5OJOsUimDoWfERyzbCCqJ5nKI4Ul9MzcmIZryJ47P47igJ92A5843W4bOYgzC8zVQbXF8QZwwabyXQcSJkdbLdoU/s320/37140_10150284644000591_836070590_15117826_8061828_n.jpg" />The 9 of us!</p><p><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfyThvQU3gDfTCWcQf-i5pqfRtQ0J3iBUlu-HZINDt72FAL9u-05173NqcYYlLqyH1wiul_VTi52laXeDykt9ilabI3qTJ4IesIwrixZvyp2g8UI_iRPkOuFGgrMe5DtPXZiABBd8nsGM/s1600/64342_10150284653750591_836070590_15117988_7957779_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551008068738893314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfyThvQU3gDfTCWcQf-i5pqfRtQ0J3iBUlu-HZINDt72FAL9u-05173NqcYYlLqyH1wiul_VTi52laXeDykt9ilabI3qTJ4IesIwrixZvyp2g8UI_iRPkOuFGgrMe5DtPXZiABBd8nsGM/s320/64342_10150284653750591_836070590_15117988_7957779_n.jpg" /> <p align="center"></a>With Kellie's mom after the Toby Keith bar<br /><br /><br /></p><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZjNUzchAJMOx3BpRSOHIzgiIIDgYTOw0f3sV-NiUxiRTRKGXkuTTwxkyBboGhWFlqRQZfPdUV1CghUcjpChmUtTj0v2IVBdycnM0ZRygVQYRfXD-HlJbuKiC3OZxTo6_niT8otSLGcY4/s1600/33894_10150284665740591_836070590_15118171_2097412_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551008057022385026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZjNUzchAJMOx3BpRSOHIzgiIIDgYTOw0f3sV-NiUxiRTRKGXkuTTwxkyBboGhWFlqRQZfPdUV1CghUcjpChmUtTj0v2IVBdycnM0ZRygVQYRfXD-HlJbuKiC3OZxTo6_niT8otSLGcY4/s320/33894_10150284665740591_836070590_15118171_2097412_n.jpg" /></a> Kel-Jo and me at Minus 5<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmh2VaYCTPOFBl_ior_6nmLhHcxcN7Ou8tP-3SxmMRAzRdOabuqjDeoZ8yF2rCAxtBpTjlC-yM3uXpSFkdML8IDZNxGlDO6s5_ZmMb-nABEQEK4EQtsq1jNEvHE5kr73ITlpvMOl3H58/s1600/33782_10150284638280591_836070590_15117738_2154092_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551008046577436146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmh2VaYCTPOFBl_ior_6nmLhHcxcN7Ou8tP-3SxmMRAzRdOabuqjDeoZ8yF2rCAxtBpTjlC-yM3uXpSFkdML8IDZNxGlDO6s5_ZmMb-nABEQEK4EQtsq1jNEvHE5kr73ITlpvMOl3H58/s320/33782_10150284638280591_836070590_15117738_2154092_n.jpg" /></a>Kel-Jo and Leslie<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsSJT6IMjHVMFJFnfpbn-XB4x0LchLTfMxFRR2tREU1iTKuIJPFjANsAck0VZ0WFWtt4nYMEZXeEJvw-JLnFGN-gF0iZ7PKAnMhHihLZOmOA2ObOUrtOYEWCpSIb-e8GFYGxENL6bv-yM/s1600/33545_10150284665985591_836070590_15118181_3645256_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551008038534606162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsSJT6IMjHVMFJFnfpbn-XB4x0LchLTfMxFRR2tREU1iTKuIJPFjANsAck0VZ0WFWtt4nYMEZXeEJvw-JLnFGN-gF0iZ7PKAnMhHihLZOmOA2ObOUrtOYEWCpSIb-e8GFYGxENL6bv-yM/s320/33545_10150284665985591_836070590_15118181_3645256_n.jpg" /></a> BACHELORETTE!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div><br /></div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-53806591455026798522010-12-15T12:12:00.000-08:002010-12-15T12:22:49.197-08:00Dan and Kellie's Wedding!On November 28 two of our very best friends got married. Dan and Brandon have been best friends since the 7th grade and just like Dan was the best man in our wedding, Brandon was the best man in his. Kellie and I met through Dan and she is now one of my BFFs. We were also bridesmaids in eachothers weddings. The day was perfect and everything was so fun and beautiful. She was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen and I was so priveledged to be a part of their special day. I love them both and look forward to many many more years of being great friends. <br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-bYINsJxRGWpG6zCX0cNdBoaHHc21WcJCR5mdqNmdnGPtVqDDv6siynHUH1W0szRVBBDAlcV2qXi-DPrnAf8X3c96Tmtxa1MjJHK8_uO75L16rSEYrbJgt4r4JVsxmRjbLk1PoLWkM6I/s1600/156522_10150337244420591_836070590_16009486_1520893_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551005934333297570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-bYINsJxRGWpG6zCX0cNdBoaHHc21WcJCR5mdqNmdnGPtVqDDv6siynHUH1W0szRVBBDAlcV2qXi-DPrnAf8X3c96Tmtxa1MjJHK8_uO75L16rSEYrbJgt4r4JVsxmRjbLk1PoLWkM6I/s320/156522_10150337244420591_836070590_16009486_1520893_n.jpg" /></a> For their cake they had cupcakes that were decorated as flowers, baseballs and footballs!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuoMO0NQqr1q3t5QIIDKn-xMwbqBtj2_LEH1YVDU0xjxG4jY9jqj4pmPZ32f8DJiloY2dylV7hm0GiInXtUz1wLzts6e-KbO_zfW7O2jgr1tQ4PMcyVVK0rKIgVe06nNCYtQYBBZpEIk/s1600/163078_10150337248610591_836070590_16009571_2932922_n.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 234px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551005589333734610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK23ZaZS7J1gQFsNvIghSbOdsD6T-U35mBDuyB4YhlPsE9jqLBQfZCfd0XZnvCbqW5TZZ5IvmYOugmMBm_DY5dWn-8drPXw2hsn1QqyaW1fNhYnQNy3A8X9lZETMMMRksM4o-Rvq3dMFw/s320/156590_10150337251800591_836070590_16009664_5853785_n.jpg" /><br />The beautiful bride, me and Dan's hands<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyIWRdwxMgXrrKZmmVMqnl2ePEq1NuESOddhgF8sXOhRyCoi6nbChU4cbvI07jTqW6WHutgvHWaa0DZMi9OC3ACBhv9XuUIgeey52bR6k0mNonUN36vtgA-EFnWP19kECeuqEJdA-Gyzw/s1600/148511_10150337251860591_836070590_16009666_4129472_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551005583332133106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyIWRdwxMgXrrKZmmVMqnl2ePEq1NuESOddhgF8sXOhRyCoi6nbChU4cbvI07jTqW6WHutgvHWaa0DZMi9OC3ACBhv9XuUIgeey52bR6k0mNonUN36vtgA-EFnWP19kECeuqEJdA-Gyzw/s320/148511_10150337251860591_836070590_16009666_4129472_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cZBa96tvZsVZg18ICIfvdLrG46SpXlYxkQcoX-5lXtrLCJ6kMppQ2eihUGzfT1ybjXx16-R96TF3Tm8xeLaH2wCIi-M-M6YGc8GNAHdDasytUPmZH3leG9ZAFaHM5_4mpcQiutJUq2E/s1600/76646_10150337344800591_836070590_16011226_8378735_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551005574879286514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-cZBa96tvZsVZg18ICIfvdLrG46SpXlYxkQcoX-5lXtrLCJ6kMppQ2eihUGzfT1ybjXx16-R96TF3Tm8xeLaH2wCIi-M-M6YGc8GNAHdDasytUPmZH3leG9ZAFaHM5_4mpcQiutJUq2E/s320/76646_10150337344800591_836070590_16011226_8378735_n.jpg" /></a>I'm so happy I married this man everyday!<br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-35483964256510024242010-12-15T11:41:00.001-08:002010-12-15T11:56:59.752-08:00Rally In The SnowNovemeber brought us some snow this year. We had a snow day at home (my car has awful tires and I couldn't get anywhere) so we made the best of it and took some pics in the snow. It was Rally's first time seeing the snow and he LOVED it! I took him out in it and he was running around like crazy so I got his ball and the camera and we went to town. We were probably out in the backyard for about 45 minutes just playing together. When we came inside he drank tons of water and the passed out on his bed for 3 hours. I love this puppy. Where was Chelsea during this snow romp? She was sleeping in the nice warm bed. She hates the snow or anything cold for that matter. What could have made this better? Brandon being home playing with us. He eventually came home from work, looked at the backyard and asked me if kids had been playing in our yard. Yep!

But I got off at noon and then was able to go and spend time with everyone. When I got off work I went right home and changed and Brandon and his dad picked me up and we went to his Grandma's house (Brandon spent Christmas morning at his aunts). My dad had dropped my mom off at the airport that morning and then he came over as well. It was so nice that he came. I didn't want him to spend Christmas alone and I wanted to see him on Christmas. We hung out there for awhile and opened present and ate dinner. Brandon's mom had to work as well so she came a little bit later. Oh the joy of working at a place that never closes (we both work at hospitals).<br />This is my gorgeous red, white and gold Christmas tree.

After a nice shower and some cozy pjs Brandon and I finally got exchange gifts at about 11pm. I was dead tired by the end of this day but it was a pretty good Christmas. Brandon got me a new little camera!!! I like ones that I can just stick in my pocket or my purse. yay!!!

When I got home Brandon and I went over to his parents to say hi and then we came home and my parents came over for a small dinner. We decided to spend this time with my parents because my mom was leaving for BonAire on Christmas Day and we wouldn't get to see her. Unfortunately I only have this one picture of me making a butterball turkey =) After dinner Mom and I went through the ads for BLACK FRIDAY (my most fave day of the year)...a timeless tradition for us.<br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428637229337429298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjesq94GYTOu7TDOs_maFYuHXzFrMij41c8q7Mcmc05KuZ3NNX9v28orVUsl60JqVtAgcuVCjxbd7nCeqA0mFL39G8QM8VcEzZ3DFE0bdYatsu6wppKbCLJTMkWml3Xhx0KhhhCiJP-5BY/s320/132.JPG" /></div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-58946305370425815652010-01-19T17:54:00.001-08:002010-01-19T18:01:23.157-08:00Catching Up...HalloweenThis year for Halloween we decided to have some friends over to our house.

Shawn's BdayOk so I'm going to catch up on the past month or so starting with where I've left off in October......<br /><br />For my dear friend Shawn's birthday this year we had our group over to our house for food and drinks and then headed off to Gameworks! I haven't been there in forever and it was so much fun. Sadly, I do not have any pictures from Gameworks because 1. I don't have a camera that I can stick in my pocket and I don't bring one when I only need Id and debit card and 2. I was very involved with Ski Ball and this game where you fly a helicopter. So these from my house will suffice.<br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415329904207563602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfowBjZ0ElH2bf4HBSU3XW0ozjniwreKDuCkwOBVAkaw6dp9VRzG-qC9DpQL9D8C7eBvL1L-kGhhIg9fG6trOuEaXt2DGExgHnAfRjNqBnGGP7BmEzgvvCz3LmQDI0EjBy4ZFfbuHTXxY/s320/011.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415329922139306610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8n1VkgHw1ylqVzrxQI43WRNbOMKuR-4PqdyxViUIjK258RzTLdlNLmjbTMCF_qJeCCA5nJkSwgKaZGWqZIiaqc_tvNWjQS92q7yd_cAiuVth2yTwMJU1vkOPULP3jPQOQzpk3ggJ5QY/s320/008.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415329913427794242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNxlCNJce_Bs9xDH-DifX1UsyjrTIxwnCqNmCYdcx1AX0KkktNDSsn1J4abcCMveYBLxm2xrFss795OKuFr2G67_lj7ba4r_ZukRhIo1ucp4spkkhxFUTp_J7Yx388NO1ab1auIonFRbM/s320/009.JPG" /></p><p>Wonderful and delicious Twilight cake that I asked Candace to make!!!!

I don't know the correct terminology for it. Anyway, the last weekend in June my mom had Bella, Ryan, and Alex plant the little pumpkins in her back yard. Last week it was time to cut them off the vines! The kids were so excited since they'd watch their little punkins grow for months! After we picked them we decorated cornocopias with them (see previous post). The white ones are "ghost pumpkins"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFyjPHMKxVS9fpkaCbhRKkr_0lZYgYfldEen2cxOcMpn9WPlb2r4FgR8EIq1yZ06xSHfk6dbh0RQScjOf8YtypeQ9ijVeEV0YMXyTnJZQ-sqGXpQDa5qZhcA7U6x1T307MJc7zioXzdi4/s1600-h/CIMG7909.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393687914847383410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFyjPHMKxVS9fpkaCbhRKkr_0lZYgYfldEen2cxOcMpn9WPlb2r4FgR8EIq1yZ06xSHfk6dbh0RQScjOf8YtypeQ9ijVeEV0YMXyTnJZQ-sqGXpQDa5qZhcA7U6x1T307MJc7zioXzdi4/s320/CIMG7909.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><div><div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVYs_OuY1eURGyAxbeKZDWjd1w8myVW8k45dghTtNuyVTfH4Vw1Ip87mrAbV66DrpUrb-_eeWIBsp1H9VRvxwTfqtpFp_pVs2qqQiDfx0ofNEi1TBnt75mGh8H7-ZyeVn0be6Whm-beU/s1600-h/CIMG8269.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393686608416189090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia2Kt0Uqm0w2fX0f0QJIdV85adsLYMpyvyGKYu8EDNNy02rPUyfhP2ppec__dGmHqYGlJEhz_WCNaqpO2vHu4qmN1LIu_gUIzK1J-EL8vW1XFwtftXmu4LNSxYbhYxeqb_smy3Dhho7qM/s320/CIMG7896.JPG" /></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393686620619313570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtxjKqyEEW818s8TT8R5LnjJzvFR43SGFZ6cfAEPPPbtdkzxO7yQ_6Q7XoWFPajTaVDxGoA_6-GuOQss-qeDiHB39IT3sbG6CczAOFIIvsDNupH04-0DsHbNvOrP_AB5DWwANEenxEorc/s320/CIMG7928.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVYs_OuY1eURGyAxbeKZDWjd1w8myVW8k45dghTtNuyVTfH4Vw1Ip87mrAbV66DrpUrb-_eeWIBsp1H9VRvxwTfqtpFp_pVs2qqQiDfx0ofNEi1TBnt75mGh8H7-ZyeVn0be6Whm-beU/s1600-h/CIMG8269.JPG"></a><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393686596818731810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjioXaHiZKpGkOw_bui6RxYw0xv8j5t5HjjcWbObWLO7mbRzoyDht7s3pSP5zf7twMxOjdqom2eXX-len63Y-dEUEqHECZrxgIZHF1_iz6PNZwNoibQ5gy8vJGF_yJSBdC1HuebzXFugHQ/s320/CIMG7881.JPG" /></div><p>On Thursday we had another Halloween project!

It is by far my favorite season. I love all the color changes and the blustery rainy days. My candle collection makes its appearance during this time as well. I have a few faves: Vanilla, Apple Cinnamon, and Pumpkin Spice. Maybe this is why I like holiday bazaars. They always smell like that. During the winter is when I break out the Sugar Cookie candle or bake cookies just because I want my house to smell like that. But yes, I love the fall. I always want to be home, wrapped up in a blanket with hot chocolate (or cider!) reading a book. The other day there was so much thunder, wind and rain I was already loving it and to make everything even more wonderful, it was the day I was making a crock pot stew!!! Oh the house smelled wonderful (and I had a cinnamon spice candle burning too). I turned the heat on, (once Brandon is finished with the new gas insert it will be pure bliss to have that on instead of the furnace) got a book, a blanket and my Chelsea and we sat in the love sac switching between reading and listening to the rain. Simple things like this make me so happy. It was perfect. Then Brandon came home and everything was more perfect. Now if only I could teach him to just sit back and relax and enjoy the fall as much as I do.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Cornucopia my mom and I made from the pumpkins the kids grew in her backyard and the rest of the stuff is from the Mukilteo Farmers Market and Michaels. I ALWAYS need more Fall decorations.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392528766379733010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8yoZvK5cFsbud-qWdhF3DUixLoy4Q0-xmJclVVfeYQuioJfv9oizgyAgfIpFO9zqaPixHfNKAny0DV5qcxDjizkLptq907QGpHoTJ4gbBP4aWhOwQtq4YmgcYjk_1tu9nD_gYoJl9P2w/s320/007.JPG" /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392528755684601522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKhz0TiAbmY47UcaiH4KOcjduhWSwZQXHXhzB9zgpmr4vVyQXB2hWlXRA2mATNSvMV1MeM3MSvrP8GWSvMo0APSNuZfuW3CQCr6to-5TZ0YaZ_rU5EJ0aImTRInKxl8DUmspjRM4kjjAY/s320/001.JPG" /><br />Tree in our backyard.

Brandon took me out for a really quick dinner at Applebees which is literally two minutes from our new house and then Nick, Shawn, Dan and Kellie came over and hung out for about an hour. The night ended with a bedtime of 9pm. Yep, I'm old. I can no longer say I'm in my early twenties. Lets hope this is a good year =) </div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392521532988555746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJQoT_wReOaWwfqSW2hVeST2Rp2BOmpzuQavy5iKAcL40zoZw6eXJ-Ioa9k3zLkIOz8OrmzVjcun4tEgVAGqW8mqfM2861k7Wx9geWkCICyg3rR1dZXhBxqz5y9crhHy72ysXlu6sYZYI/s320/279.JPG" /></div><br />Thanks to my wonderful husband, we now have a nice LCD tv hanging on the wall in our bedroom.

We got the keys Friday night and it's ours!!! It's pretty much a fixer upper and the last couple days we've been working on it non stop. It's already looking SO much better but still needs a lot of work. We're so fortunate to have great friends and family to help us out with some of the work. Here are some pictures but we have a brand new roof and my parents have really tackled the yard and looks nothing like it does in the pictures. (Thanks Mom and Dad!!!) I will post more pictures as the project comes along. </span></a></span></u><br /><div><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u></div><br /><div><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u></div><div> Dad working in the yard</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPor7ueep1dCRPrFBIOU9NZGX-QeP9Xbu70qbx5I7aTNWoDGxboQKKeznDUmtwaeEH_TcxYCaaQJk86n04KN-trjPrDTAlLEAdpU9Af6_LmFj-MZrccse72IXoqlwPivIxW6SvPLHKwyU/s1600-h/CIMG5990.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376178949152301362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPor7ueep1dCRPrFBIOU9NZGX-QeP9Xbu70qbx5I7aTNWoDGxboQKKeznDUmtwaeEH_TcxYCaaQJk86n04KN-trjPrDTAlLEAdpU9Af6_LmFj-MZrccse72IXoqlwPivIxW6SvPLHKwyU/s320/CIMG5990.JPG" /></a> Candace helping with some painting<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyElTtj7HouYAuAfadv9FH-HLvuxTBLR2vyEB7Xlr4uiirIZGX9cBLWGnY_n14sy9WM52tVfnmq0lVM31p_t3CPJpR8U76GcDaX1xOAXElJfz20Tu-k8r-QIixSxcx3zijB0Qwe3Zd_fk/s1600-h/CIMG6082.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376178941388931986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyElTtj7HouYAuAfadv9FH-HLvuxTBLR2vyEB7Xlr4uiirIZGX9cBLWGnY_n14sy9WM52tVfnmq0lVM31p_t3CPJpR8U76GcDaX1xOAXElJfz20Tu-k8r-QIixSxcx3zijB0Qwe3Zd_fk/s320/CIMG6082.JPG" /></a> Shawn<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXu3bIV0A6NAF2Uktar-SGVC7_OKQcmDSwRynlXzau888JK3HI3b5LNJf8tCKbC14NOUBCctyYMv-zvF_A0Ifih-_GNw8anT-S9x-VNV5uepMvuROV54VOTm0ZLbWqapdvyIP8BZINycU/s1600-h/CIMG6084.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376178932795993234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXu3bIV0A6NAF2Uktar-SGVC7_OKQcmDSwRynlXzau888JK3HI3b5LNJf8tCKbC14NOUBCctyYMv-zvF_A0Ifih-_GNw8anT-S9x-VNV5uepMvuROV54VOTm0ZLbWqapdvyIP8BZINycU/s320/CIMG6084.JPG" /></a> Alex helping power wash the drive way<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKnvZ45mF6P9BjlxURZNWde4_sNMxLfn-ir3x8UBUMuZziz-G4w7GC37yzzZvjnsdZSnm2i2_J1ocBYCcerNntr55bbuGKcuSw_ySMupAjNCq6Kl4DcwQl8ldbKszDeT2q55TXMyu3RoA/s1600-h/CIMG5995.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376174932347012946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKnvZ45mF6P9BjlxURZNWde4_sNMxLfn-ir3x8UBUMuZziz-G4w7GC37yzzZvjnsdZSnm2i2_J1ocBYCcerNntr55bbuGKcuSw_ySMupAjNCq6Kl4DcwQl8ldbKszDeT2q55TXMyu3RoA/s320/CIMG5995.JPG" /></a><br /> Ryan<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376174923010655842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpV99WDBNg_qu2q2GlrhMtuQTku8kNSUtTEsgW6WgghuznG-P3trDtbNulBUhcnvNfh3OsIeAnpwEaynJLCFsi2iij2OEJ9KNi25H0htdGWKxooQcEAXh5ma5Uo1XP0lsDs63ie3PjJlA/s320/CIMG5987.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT6dBby22e47kpYgAV-SntoF7V2okv6eQNhGYGjL5NWv99dmh9Na9r79e31JL8FfwbYNFmO0AIwL-Y55NjdANeux6QiZDPFy9b7w_a-iupD9G8yDprlmUingnUGGZoksdCo2qdTR08MlU/s1600-h/house1.jpg"></a><br /><br />And for the record, I've had the HARDEST time with this post!

I am keeping my fingers crossed though.<br /><br />Last Monday I started my new job at University of Washington Medical Center. So far, I am really liking it. (Dang it my cursor jumped!!! Problem NOT fixed! Rawr rawr rawr rawr) It was sad to say goodbye to Edmonds Family Medicine. I'm grateful for the experiences and the friends that I've made, but I think in the long run that this new job is going to be good for me and my future career.<br /><br />Still do not have a lot of pictures put back on the computer and I think that I will hold off until I can get this stupid cursor thing fixed. I'm about to freak out!<br />...so I was going to add pictures but I now HATE MY COMPUTER WITH A PASSION!!!!!!!! and therefore am not going to be able to. I will try again later once I have calmed down.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-54498845653365662902009-04-14T17:44:00.000-07:002009-04-14T17:52:28.017-07:00I'm Working On It.......Yes, I am still alive. I've been off the blogging path due to some camera and computer issues. Brandon recently reformatted my computer so I have yet to put the pictures back on and don't like posting without pictures. AND, when I type my cursor thingy jumps around everywhere (and yes, I am careful to not hit the mouse thing on my laptop but it's still being a pain in my butt and I can't figure out how to fix it!!!! Rawr rawr rawr rawr) so I have been mad at my computer and trying to protest using it. But, seeing as it has been about 5 months since I've posted anything new, I am now trying to get my rear in gear and update the world on life. Patience darlings, I will be back soon. <br />BTW, it has taken me 11 minutes to compose this post because of stupid computer cursor issues!!!Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-16861812999564152392008-11-08T15:04:00.000-08:002008-11-08T15:57:16.691-08:00Been Awhile.....<div>So, I got a new camera for my birthday (thank you hubby!) but it is broken already so I haven't wanted to post blogs without pictures. Thus I am lacking in posting....I will try to catch up.<br /><br />My birthday was fun! I had that nasty crud though so I was pretty out of it. It was still a good day though. We went to the Seattle to tailgate before the game that day (as always) and as we were getting set up Shawn, Nick, Bryan and Ashley surprised me and showed up and it turned into a mini tailgate/ Katie birthday party! So fun. And Todd's wife Melissa was there too which was fun. She is great and I love her! And yay for the Hawks winning against Josh Brown!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3w3PPobaDt0LkKJvKxcv9hlzbMavdtUIQCmM12ynZDcfZC-_6XWWKMwVhNWme3vdxNYZio8V6HmbhOEcnBTJFRXP8wwmbeCY-A4TS_TY4LQSnS5HIfV9qihrNMinZ3fT_j0ELMu5iAsQ/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266428600642672290" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3w3PPobaDt0LkKJvKxcv9hlzbMavdtUIQCmM12ynZDcfZC-_6XWWKMwVhNWme3vdxNYZio8V6HmbhOEcnBTJFRXP8wwmbeCY-A4TS_TY4LQSnS5HIfV9qihrNMinZ3fT_j0ELMu5iAsQ/s320/014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><p>My Hawk family</p><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIcaSFYW5K0kMV9ZOcCDEixH-XqG_QDlZB6eysiFSNdLkq2-Gil4MEnIh1uY_0WCj5ywzg7OQILYR6Y_eWolcisteuMrGqDI6JXDh8rNS3Cr_v90ep0iTHnYs5s35CXv9x4nprsKRDvs/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266428591459753714" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIcaSFYW5K0kMV9ZOcCDEixH-XqG_QDlZB6eysiFSNdLkq2-Gil4MEnIh1uY_0WCj5ywzg7OQILYR6Y_eWolcisteuMrGqDI6JXDh8rNS3Cr_v90ep0iTHnYs5s35CXv9x4nprsKRDvs/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I love my husband!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1Bk-6IwvxjNdXjVkAC1aEba7e9Q2bgfwjTKVKBlcH7HrTjCeDJ-kO-dhh7A1x_dpSinCFPd6XwptgDun3BA4Eq9RsLjxj-6EBQ9ThdVD9nVeyvvR2ysxtix2glRAYjwYpR24i0joQ6E/s1600-h/032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266428592123377730" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1Bk-6IwvxjNdXjVkAC1aEba7e9Q2bgfwjTKVKBlcH7HrTjCeDJ-kO-dhh7A1x_dpSinCFPd6XwptgDun3BA4Eq9RsLjxj-6EBQ9ThdVD9nVeyvvR2ysxtix2glRAYjwYpR24i0joQ6E/s320/032.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Awesome cake that Shawn and Ashley made for me<br /><br />I started school again the day after my birthday and I'm working my way through that...... the quarter is almost over thank goodness but that means that my final papers and projects are coming up.

Our place is beautiful and we love it. It has a huge kitchen that I love and a large attached garage that Brandon loves. I still need a dining room table and I found the one that I want but we don't have the money for it yet. I'm just glad that we have some of the same tastes...it makes for less of a discussion about things. I'm still a little upset with the 12th Man flag on our living room wall but hey, go hawks. I knew we should have gotten a 2 bedroom so that Brandon could have had a room for all his man-stuff but for the next year, I'll live with this. I could have used the extra closet space as well. I would love to add pictures but because my camera is broken and we can't figure out what's going on with one of the lenses on Brandon's I fail to have pictures to put up so that you can see our domain. <br />I know most thought that we'd be buying a house after our wedding but with me going to school full time I can't work full time as well so we're still saving and hopefully we'll have more money to buy a place either next year or when i'm done with school. We'll see where the market goes.<br />We finally have internet (thank you husband) and cable so that we can watch the Seahawks games and i can watch my girlie shows. I'm still trying to convince Brandon that we need DVR or TiVo so that I can just record them and watch them when he's not around instead of being held up in our bedroom while they're on but I haven't won this battle yet so we'll see how it goes. I don't like missing my shows =)<br />So again when I get a new camera I will take mass amounts of pictures and post them.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-1544186252042636102008-08-20T18:56:00.000-07:002008-08-20T19:18:35.695-07:00Wedding/ HoneymoonI am finally getting to this after a couple of months of constantly being busy! Our wedding was beautiful and we had about 200<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ish</span> people show up. It was gorgeous (thanks friends for helping set up!) and the food my mom made was excellent. Everyone looked beautiful and we received some really great gifts. I basically cried the whole freaking day though. Something I now wish that I wouldn't have done. And I'm not very happy with the pictures. But I can't take it back so I'm done being upset about it. Bottom line is Brandon and I are now married and we love it. That night after we left the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">reception</span> we checked into our hotel (he took me to the Silver Cloud hotel right next to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Qwest</span> field <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">yay</span>...go hawks!) we realized that we forgot to bring food with us so we went out to try to find a grocery store. We have no idea where one is in Seattle and we ended up in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Renton</span> highlands at a Safeway! We ended up getting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">tv</span> dinners, strawberries and chocolate to melt. Then had to find out way back. We had fun. The day after the wedding we had an open house at my aunts down in Maple Valley and opened all our presents and ate left over food with most of the family from out of town. It was nice. It was a crazy weekend and then we both had to go back to work on Monday. The cruise line cancelled our original cruise (we were supposed to leave the day after the wedding) on us in April and we had to reschedule to leave a week later. So we went back to work for a week. It ended up being a good thing that they took the ship out of the fleet that we were supposed to be on because it was an older and smaller ship.<br /><br />Honeymoon was SO SO SO great! We went on a cruise around the Hawaiian islands and it was beautiful! We did a ton of stuff!! We went on this zodiac raft and snorkel adventure and we saw whales and tons of dolphins in the open water! It was crazy and so much fun. We had a great great time! We both want to go back. And we found out we love cruises! Hopefully we will be able to plan another one soon.<br /><br />We have been married for almost two months now! It seems like we've been married for awhile. I have a great husband and I'm loving being Katie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Karr</span> =)<br />-I will add pictures when I get <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Internet</span> at our new apartment.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04443366823849537338noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902415421139694553.post-8846733573282943822008-07-31T21:58:00.000-07:002008-07-31T22:03:06.321-07:00Lake Tahoe June 2008<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPw3o6VQerIX_YaF6wviDcu7fVG_5xgpshq4xBn4c5S2TIfPa7NQavDbfRAywLukeB73Ls-fjPH-4TveNDooNILtHlWbFZtcHCAWs9h-mAdfxQEOJD9b2Iiu1h-aa9sJRf-sA8qvd9KLI/s1600-h/046.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229410044163709154" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPw3o6VQerIX_YaF6wviDcu7fVG_5xgpshq4xBn4c5S2TIfPa7NQavDbfRAywLukeB73Ls-fjPH-4TveNDooNILtHlWbFZtcHCAWs9h-mAdfxQEOJD9b2Iiu1h-aa9sJRf-sA8qvd9KLI/s320/046.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHYOGKPFzlPt4BQomMJMoMhi3tfCYQsK8EFa2bOo3G-JvcJA5Q_gbWo8vkHePLp-sMO9nhODoLg6SheOLdRKeU2mkVlFzBNSvLUwnzc4lbvjaYmfEm_LCQVjP9S0haYPY0kYONw80YwM/s1600-h/071.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229410072739677650" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" height="240" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHYOGKPFzlPt4BQomMJMoMhi3tfCYQsK8EFa2bOo3G-JvcJA5Q_gbWo8vkHePLp-sMO9nhODoLg6SheOLdRKeU2mkVlFzBNSvLUwnzc4lbvjaYmfEm_LCQVjP9S0haYPY0kYONw80YwM/s320/071.JPG" width="312" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Some of my best girls and I went to Lake Tahoe a few weeks before my wedding.
