It is rare for Nate and I to have the same day off…about every 3 months we have 1 day…maybe.  So imagine our excitement when we planned our WHOLE WEEK of vacation to Seattle, WA!  We hadn’t had a whole week off together since our honeymoon, so this vacation was much needed.  We named offContinue reading “Se@tle Trip 2011”

In the past few months, I’ve become fascinated with blogs.  Having a blog is a great way to keep family/friends in the loop and record yummy recipes… with out wasting paper!  I’ve started blogs in the past, but have failed at keeping up with them.  So no promises, but I will give this my bestContinue reading “Going to give this a try!”
