One Year Older and Wiser Too

So yesterday was my 20th birthday! What a wonderful day! My first birthday as a married lady. As soon as I woke up I opened the presents from my parents then I crawled back into bed and snuggled Travis. Then he pulled out his present.

It was a diamond necklace! Oh my it was stunning! A past Present, future type of setting. I love it so much. It was something I wasn't expecting at all! Travis' dad told him that he was setting the bar really high, so early into the marriage. Haha

Anyway we got ready because Travis had a full day planned. :D Now you have to understand I am major dork, I love museums and books and learning and such. Anyway Travis had planned to go to the Pacific Science Center! Let me tell you what I was so excited.

After we got ready we hoped into the car and we went out to Winger's for lunch. One of my favorite restaurants! Anyway lunch was delicious!

It took us over 2 hours to get from Tacoma to the Seattle Center! So much traffic! So I decieded to take some pictures! It should've only taken us like 40 mins!


As soon as we got there we had to find a place to park which was murder! haha We finally found a place for only 8 bucks for 10 hours! Which was amazing because last time we were up there it cost us over 24 bucks to park! And it was only 2 blocks from the Pacific Science Center!



The Pacific Science Center was amazing! So much to do we couldn't do it all. But we did get to see Lucy's Legacy. The oldest remains of a human, 3.2 Billion years old! It was so awesome.
We also got tickets to see Madagascar 2 on their giant IMAX screen!
We also went to the Butterfly house! That was so cool. There were butterflies everywhere. One flew right at me and I screamed... how embarrassing.



The museum closed at 6 so we had 3 hours to kill before the movie started. We walked around the square for a while, I took some more pictures haha.

Anyway after my barrage of pictures we tried to eat dinner at the Space Needle. But since it was Saturday night there weren't any openings till 9 45 ( which was when our movie was) So we couldn't go, but Travis promised that we would go in December so we can go ice skating too. :D


Anyway we found a fantastic East Coast Pizzeria called Bambinos. Oh it was amazing! Everything tasted so fresh, nothing canned. We loved it so much and it wasn't very expensive at all. Not like it would've been to eat at the Space Needle. A couple hundred dollars!

After dinner it was time for our movie. Oh man Madagascar 2 was so funny! We loved it so much! I highly recommend it!

So it was a perfect birthday. It didn't rain at all and it was even supposed to!
Best. Day. Ever.

Dreams are like movies; Memories are Films About Ghosts

It is a rare occasion that Travis have days off together. Yesterday was one of those days. Since Travis' parents are out of town we decided to have some fun.
So Travis is restoring and hot rodding a old 55' GMC truck. Its going to look so amazing. Now many people don't this but 55' GMC's have hood birds. It is an amazing little car ornament:
Anyway he got it Chromed a few weeks ago and that was our first stop on our wonderful day. It turned out awesome. ( this is not the actual picture of ours)
After we picked up the misc. chrome pieces we decieded to go to Seattle. It was such a wonderful day (sunny but cold), nice enough to go walking around Pike Place Market.
I have never seen any place so adorable. What a wonderful place! I have never seen so many cute and quant shops. We definalty didn't have time to look at them all. But I know we will be back.We walked around for a few hours and then I saw it! The infamous fish throwers! Haha They weren't throwing any fish when I took the pictures but it was neat to see them all there.




Since Pike Place closed at 6 we needed to find a place to eat. After staring at all the fish booths all day, we were both in the mood for Sushi. I hadn't been looking for places to eat, but Travis had been ( thank goodness for his stomach) and he saw a lovely Japanese and Sushi restaruant.
Dinner was wonderful! We were stuffed!
When we left the restaruant it was raining....a day in Seattle would not be complete without rain.
We were grateful that it did not rain earlier.

Our day was wonderful. I love my husband.

Downtown and Sweet Nephews

Tuesday was a wonderful day. It has been super rainy here lately and I've been unable to do a whole lot of things outside. Since I just moved here with Travis I don't have a lot of friends, the ones I do have work in the food court with me and we don't have corresponding days off. Anyway I thought it would be fun to spend my day off with my sister-in-law and her two wonderful boys.

So I went over there around 11 when Henry was waking up from his morning nap and to pick up Joesph from preschool.
After I surprised Joesph we went to downtown tacoma. Our first stop was lunch. We were all starving; Heidi and I were in the mood for a little Cafe. We found the perfect cafe on the corner of the street:
Grassi's


After lunch we were all in the mood for a little desert. So we stopped by Heidi and the boy's favorite cupcake shop. Happy Cupcake. If you ever get a chance to roam downtown tacoma I highly recommend this boutique. It was a cupcake frenzy;the boys had more on their face than in their stomachs. After that fiasco we took a ride on the train. It is Joesph's favorite! We went up and down the avenue, to pass the time Henry and I played peek-a-boo over the seats.






After a long day for the boys it was nap time for the boys so we rode the train one more time back to our car.
Needless to say I had a wonderful day with my nephews and my sister in law.

I love them so much.

Holidays and birthdays

So since Travis and I started our new jobs we have no vacation time. Its awful because I am dying to spend time with my family. But I think I am just going to spend time with them about a week before christmas, which I am really excited about. I am just sad that Travis can't come. Costco is a little more easygoing about having time off then Travis' work.

I love my family so much! I can't wait to see my little brother! He just had to get contacts, he must look so adorable.

It was Travis' birthday a few weeks ago and we went to the museum of flight in Seattle and it was so much fun. He got to see his favorite airplane- F4U Corsair. As soon as I get the pictures from my card onto a CD ( my card driver is broken on my laptop) I will post some pictures.

EDIT: I finally fixed my card driver in my computer! Yeah!
