just a little game of catch-up

well, well, well... look who decided to blog again. ha. its been like 2 months or something crazy like that. we havent been doing much around here, but a lot has been going on, so please be patient with this very unorganized story.

part I:
so, about three weeks ago, will and myself went to go see Mogwai in seattle with our friend tony, while our other friend, shayne, house sat and watched the animals like he usually does. as soon as we got to seattle we met with some old friends and went to some neat bars and got all good and day drunk. the show was awesome and then went to go see our friend james' band play at a different bar. here are some pics!

part of the agreement of me not having to drive was that i had to sit in back the whole time and not  talk at all. ha.

pit stop.

i love seattle!

me and annie. she is gorgeous and so great!

anyway, blah, blah, blah, long story short we didnt get back to our hotel room until about 5 am. at approximately 5:45 am i woke up to will's phone ringing and it was shayne. apparently someone had thrown a brick through our back window, stole his wallet and keys off the counter and then stole his car. I WAS IN SHOCK!!! we were 5 hours away, completely helpless and probably still drunk. eeeeep. anyway, we ended up driving home after sleeping a little more and came home to find this:

glass was everywhere, and they ruined my green onions. 220 dollars later we got the window replaced and shayne ended up finding his own car four days later, and now those jerks are in jail. hallelujah! 

part II.

the weather in good old spokane has finally gotten a little bit nice. weve been mowing the lawn and weed wacking and pulling weeds and discussing what on earth to do with the gardens. we even splurged and bought one of those blower/sucker/mulchers, (the "thats what she said jokes and endless), and its been really great. we even got ambitious and hung some outdoor lights in our backyard. 

dont i have the cutest husband??? :]

i also thought it could be cute to hang little odds and ends on the fence.

so far all weve got up is a thermometer and two suns from the dollar store.

we picked up these two beauties yesterday and i am thinking they need to go join the party.

part III.

our tax return came last week so did a spur of the moment run to portland. we got to see some of our favorite people!!! 

james, sloan and charlie. i cant get enough of them!

but of course we couldnt go to portland without making a stop at ikea!!! (nothing gets me more excited than a day blown at ikea!!) pretty much we just picked up some decorative items and candles and new sheets and desks. most of this stuff isnt even unpacked but the big accomplishment was the tools for the 98% completion of the frame wall. ahhhhhhh!!!!

we need to do a little more moving around of the frames, but all the frames are finally filled, except one.

so thats what weve been up to. when i get everything all unpacked i will show you all my new treasures and go a little more into detail of what made the cut for the the frame wall.
