WSU vs. Hawaii

I was able to go to my first Washington State University football game! The Cougars played against the University of Hawaii in Seattle at Quest Field. Bryan scored J and I free tickets to sit in the student section. The weather was great and it was so much fun going to a college footall game! GO COUGS!

End of Summer Update

Sorry folk's I have been completely out of the blogging world lately and realized that I have not posted the last months of fun summer happening's! I hope you enjoy scrolling through what I have been up to!

August brought us to Deception Pass for our yearly camping trip with a bunch of family friends. We only spent one night camping this year but still enjoyed our quick overnighter!

We went to the Evergreen State Fair with John and his family. This is an annual tradition that they have been doing since John was a baby. We did not have to much of a crowd to deal with, a little rainy weather, but it was a fun night; and I was able to get an Elephant Ear!

Jen was able to score us some GREAT box seats at the Mariner's game. It was a fun night spent with friends and watching some baseball!

I hope all of my friends and family had a great and memorable summer! Now let's fall in to Fall.

~Engaged~

I have some news to report! I am ENGAGED! At the end of July, John and I went down to Cannon Beach along the Oregon Coast and he popped the question. I of course said "yes"... Thanks for all the happy wishes, we are so excited!

Happy Birthday Ashleigh!

I know this is a little late but I had to give her a little birthday shout out. We were not able to spend Asheligh's actually birthday with her so we had a little party fun with her at Redhook this past Friday. I just love my friends!

::Slip 'N Slide::

Jen and Hallie had brilliant idea's to take advantage of the Ballard waterfront house and have a Slip 'N Slide party! About 25 of our friends headed out for this enjoyable party which was an absolute blast. The Slip 'N Slider participants impressed everyone with their skills, they found every possible way to make their "slide" the best by using plastic bags and of course eco friendly soap. Shamu, the giant whale was even used for the adventure! The weather was great and the entertainment couldn't of been any better!

Stay Hydrated Seattle

I am a true, decicated, obsessed, in love fan of the sun and hot, hot, weather... but my gosh Seattle what is up with your forecast. Remeber we are not a state that prepares for crazy snow storms like we had this past winter and we are definately not ready for a heat wave like we are having right now. Our non-air conditioned homes are never ready for this kind of heat, and its scary to say we will probably have much, much more of this to come... its not even August yet! Stay cool, drink lots of water and if you are able to stand the heat for a little while..lay out and get a tan because this sunshine is not going away!

♥ Shauna and Joannes ♥

What a beautiful wedding J and I attended Sunday night to celebrate the marriage between two amazing, giving people. Shauna- my old manager from the HW pool- married Johannes- a man from Germany, she met in Australia doing mission work- at The Lakeside Event Center on Lake Union. The venue was so pretty and you could just feel the happiness radiate off of everyone sharing this special moment with them. Congratulations Shuana and Joannes!

4th of July Weekend

I had such a fun, long, three day weekend. John had his good friend Joe in town so we were able to do lots of fun things with him as well as accompany us to my aunt and uncles to celebrate the 4th! As always, the Rose family put an excellent fire work show!

On Sunday, J and I were able to go on a little hike around St. Edwards Park. It was hot and humid but we were able to enjoy being outside!

The Sights

I was able to take some fun pictures of some georgous sights while I was in Mexico!

~Sea Breeze~

The boat has docked, the last of the alcohol finished and the sweet smells of sunscreen slowly fade away but one thing that remains in tact is the memories from my family vacation to Mexico. We set sail on June 21st and enjoyed a relaxing 7 nights at sea and stopped in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Ensenada Mexico. All these stops were so different than the one another but each had many highlights. The food on the food, entertainment and boat were so amazing! I cannot wait to go on another cruise! Thank you Mom and Dad for this great vacation!

Walking on the railroad tracks

The nice weather continued to delight us this weekend. We made a trip out to Sultan on Saturday to go to a birthday party. There was plenty of property to explore which was fun to do, minus the allergy attack and getting stung by nettles! I was able to snap a few neat pictures on our walk to the river! 

::Busy Weekend::

What a busy weekend I had. Luckily all of my "being busy" consisted of doing things that were enjoyable and were spent being with the people I love most!

My dear friend Nicole's sister Dani went to her senior prom. I was able to stop by and get a few pictures of her before she left for the dance. She looked absolutely amazing. I was glad I was able to see her. After capturing a few shots of Dani I headed off to our church to help John's parents caterer our 1950's themed auction. It was lots of work but it was a lot of fun as well!

Sunday was spent in Seattle at the Mariner's game with my parents. I think we were more intrigued with the woman in front of us dancing and chanting during the game. We still can't figure out where she got her pants??!?!?!

Clothes and Coffee

One coffee stand in Bothell that has finally gotten it right! To many bikinii barista's around. Put some clothes on, show some class and make some coffee for goodness sake! This sign did make me smile and I am sure it promoted some good business!
