And Then There Was Light

Well, this past weekend the clouds and rain here in the Seattle area parted and gave us some beautiful weather! And, fortunately, we had nothing going on and we were feeling great so we took advantage of the wonderful sunlight and warmth.

Saturday we went on a drive to Bremerton. (We made a detour to Cabella's to look at all the things we'd love to have, but can't have right now.) At Bremerton we hopped on a ferry ride to Seattle. (There is a little bit of picture overload coming up from our weekend!)

Mt. Rainier off in the distance

 

Yes, we are wearing sweatshirts/jackets, but that's only because as soon as we got on the ferry the clouds found us, and with the wind it was just a little chilly. But still, it was a beautiful day!

We then stopped in at little Italian bakery/shop and Matt got very excited! He's hoping he found some pesto sauce he loves and been wanting to try for a while. I guess we'll find out tonight. :)

Sunday was even more lovely! So, we headed out with our good friends for a little drive to Snoqualmie Falls. It was SO beautiful at Snoqualmie Falls and even on the drive there and back!

I like this picture because it has Matt's reflection :)

Snoqualmie Falls

Matt made me do a little photo shoot, this pose was all his idea!

 

It was so great being able to get out and see more of the beautiful Seattle area. We have enjoyed living here, but we realized on these outings just why people love it here. When the sun comes out, it's just fabulous! We just wish it would happen more often. :)

Today, unfortunately, we're back to clouds and rain. But at least we had a weekend of fun to hopefully last us till our next adventure! :)

*p.s. less than 50 days till baby's anticipated arrival!*

And There is No Queen of England!

So, maybe we haven't been completely strict with our money like I kind of mentioned in the last post. We recently made two movie purchases.

Two weeks ago I was at Target (making my first pregnancy clothing purchases), and Matt was at Fry's (an electronic store like Best Buy). He calls me and says, "I'm going to get you a present". I tried to tell him not to, but he rarely listens to me. ;)  Well, he saw Tangled playing on the TVs and we've heard lots of people say they really liked it, plus it was a good deal. It was really cute and we both enjoyed it! You can't really go wrong with a Disney movie.

Our second movie purchase just happened this Monday. Last weekend we got Megamind in the mail from Netflix. I LOVED it. The Mr was slightly disappointed that I seemed to like it more than Tangled, but I couldn't help it. I thought the music in Megamind was great! And I just haven't learned the songs to Tangled yet; so maybe with time I'll like it more. ;) So, on Monday we decided to just purchase it, and we've already watched it again. This is a clip of my favorite part of the movie:



In the movie Megamind's best friend's name is Minion. Matt has decided he's going to refer to our children as minions now. :)

What's on Your Mind?

Love this show.

*last night I got a text from my sister-in-law and my sister, seriously back-to-back, saying "Guess what?!" that's right, we're all in love with Chuck and we've all got it on our minds. if you're not a fan yet, i bet you'd like it :)*
