Happy Deuces

June 18th 2017-

Awesome day!! We spent Father's Day celebrating with the Grandpa and Grandma Wegley and Jill and Michael. It was so good to see them, even if it was only for a few hours. Dinner was yummy, and the wine was delicious. 

Sunday we finished getting Val ready for Counselor Training week at Camp Gilead. Charlie hung out with Grandpa and Grandma all day instead of driving all day with us. We even celebrated Father's Day in the car with Mark. The kids got him Cthulu Shoes and socks! He loved them. We even videoed him opening his present because Charlie had to miss it. Before we took Valerie to Camp for her summer job we headed to Redmond to drop Ethan off to see his girlfriend. They went to youth group and church together while we took Valerie to Camp Gilead for counselor training week. It was a long week without her but we all survived. She learned so much during this week and showed such a kind loving heart, this mamma couldn't be prouder. While Ethan hung out with Caitlyn we were able to carve out a few moments to enjoy our 23rd Anniversary. We ate at a wonderful sushi bar called Raw Bar 89 in Kirkland. We ate during their happy hour so we split three rolls, had some wine, and a bowl of edamame for super cheap. We talked about our plans for next years anniversary and there was some talk of taking the kids to California next year and possibly traveling abroad when it is safer to do so.

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
