Happy 40th, Mom and Dad!

Happy Anniversary to my parents! They have been married 40 years, can you believe it? (I can't even imagine LIVING for 40 years...that's about twice as old as me, so crazy!) I am so glad that I have such amazing parents. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for everything you've done for me and for giving me a family of best friends. You are the best examples anyone could ask for. I hope you have many more to come. I love you!

Oh, Seattle

Well, we did it! We went to Seattle this past weekend and it was a blast. We both loved it up there and it didn't even rain the entire time! It was actually really hot. But we really really enjoyed it. Luckily our hotel, the Ace Hotel, was located right in downtown, so we got to walk everywhere. (By the way, if you are ever going to Seattle, I would recommend the Ace. Cheap, affordable, and the beds are incredible! The only downside is that it is European style, which means you share a bathroom. It wasn't a problem at all and the bathrooms were clean and always open. There are rooms with bathrooms in them, but they are more expensive.) Anyway...where was I? Oh yes, most of the downtown attractions were within a few blocks of where we were and also right by the water. Just perfect.
