Play by Play
After our exciting night of winning on Saturday, Aaron and I took to the big city for a tour on Sunday. We had to park in the north forty for two reasons; 1) Parking is free 2) Seahawks had a game. I wish we would have looked into the schedule I was so jealous and felt bad we couldn’t go. Watching everyone in their jerseys, listening to the guys talk about the players, smelling the hot dogs and kettle corn, I was ready to go to an ATM and pull out however much was needed to buy a ticket, good thing I’m married to such a good man to keep me in line!!! The Mariners stadium was open for a tail gate party so we took a peek inside. Aaron’s been to a few games and said there isn’t a bad seat in the house. That’s good news for the people who were going to go to the first concert every held in that stadium, The Beach Boys!!!!
We walked about 5 miles from the car, through the city to the market, and back. Along the way I could help but be amazed at the sky scrapers, they are soooooo big!!! The streets remind me of San Francisco, all though I haven’t been there yet. We found a cute little pizza place along the way and were in need of a pit stop, I was impressed with the food and how clean the city was. I thought it was funny to see people on bikes with a little cart on the back that would ride you where you wanted to go. A few times I considered it.
I loved the market place. The first thing we saw was the water out the big windows in the back. To the right was a cruise ship, now those are HUGE!!! I’m still not sure I want to go on one, guess I’ve got a few years to figure that out (wink). On our way back up we saw the fish market, where you first walk in, and saw the guys throwing the fish. That is a good time. The fruit and vegetables looked so good and the flower arrangements were beautiful.
One our drive home we crossed a bridge that sits on the water (no joke) went under a city, and through a tunnel. This is by far the most excitement I’ve had on one trip and look forward to when we do it again.

Seattle
Aaron and I took at trip to Seattle last weekend, my first, for a Casino Night with MetLife. It was a blast!!! We played Black Jack for the first part of the night and had a lot of help for the dealers ;) Aaron ended up with $1,956,000!!!! They then had an auction with great prizes. When Aaron and I moved in and got the office set up he said all he was missing what a mini fridge, I told him the only way he would get one of those was if he won one... as you can see he did just that. The fidge went for $1, 800,000 and the biggest smile to go with it.
Working Man
Aaron Started work on Monday and l-o-v-e's it!!! Bryann and I use to look through the JC Penny's catalog and pick out our husbands, looks like I didn't do to bad....

Fun New Start
Aaron, Mom, and I set off August 29th and made the long, l-o-n-g journey from Montana to Washington, Aaron and I the day before drove to Mom and Dad's from school. We arrived about 15 minutes before help from the ward arrived to unload the Uhaul (we had planned to be there about an hour earlier, my how time flies when you having fun...). Aaron had called the biship to see if we could get some help to unload and five guys came and had the truck unloaded within an hour.
Dad and Buddy came later that night and we all worked till about 1:00am setting up, the next day we slept in ( I think it was about 9:00 am when we got moving). Saturday Dad and Aaron enjoyed putting together a book shelf and hanging all of the perfectly straight pictures in the apartment. Brooks, Mom, and I made ourselves usefull by staying out of the way.
I can't tell you how nice it is to have two bathrooms and space to move around in. There is so much storage in this place I need to get more stuff to fill it all, Aaron is going to get back with me on that one. Having a garage is a huge plus for storage and makes it feel like a real home. There isn't a light in the front room so during the day its a little darker then I'd like but I'll soon find the right lamp.
There is a deck off the front room which is so since to let in all the fresh air and fun to sit out on in the morning and evenings. Aaron has proved to be a wonderful BBQ'r and we've enjoyed a few meals. Aaron starts work next Monday, I've really enjoyed the time he and I have had just to hang out but all good things must come to an end....
