She's getting Married in the Morning!










I know, I know. I can't believe she is getting married either, she is just a kid!! But I think one of the ways of helping kids to grow up is letting them make their own decisions. So today I have decided I will finally allow Bryan to marry Dylan (I hope this decision has nothing to do with the fact that I found out Dylan's Family has connection to London-hook me up!)

Also I slipped that little number in of my mom, priceless.

How Seattle Went Down (our last moments)


LDS Mariners night with Seattle cousins




BBQ at some friends who happened to live close and had the most killer view





Free kissing lessons downtown. . . I'm in!!



Sam purchased me some fresh flowers from Pike Place Market



Spending time with family



Almost every night we watched the sunset



Feeding my friends' turtle




Me and Sam are attempting to hit up the top 10 donut places in the USA, ranked by Bon Appetite. We are officially 1/2 way done.



We would go check out homes and this one was one of my favorites. So cute!! I know you agree. I just know it.



Leigh and Ali come up to visit and we went blueberry picking.



We went Kayaking a couple times. This one was with Sara Argyle.



We had a last FHE with some couples from Sam's old ward that he grew up in. I learned a lot about Sam's Seattle life and how much the Nelsons impacted that ward.



These are the sexy wives of those old dudes.



Us girls went to Port Townsend to set Leigh up in her little apartment. Lots of cleaning to do.



Then we went to Victoria, BC for a day. Hello BC parliament.



Another beautiful sunset.





On our boat ride to Victoria Aly was accusing Leigh of have probably 18 lipsticks in her purse. So Leigh took them out to count them and we found out there were exactly 18.



Empress Hotel in Victoria with our sexy (and single ;) ) model Leigh Lauren Brown



Buchart Gardens in Victoria.




Secrets.



One last Kayak adventure.



The troll under the bridge.



We went out to Sushi our last night in Seattle with Leigh and Aly. Leigh was looking over the bar to see the chef at work and just happened to dip her hair in this little candle. Her hair caught on fire and the half the restaurant reeked like burnt hair. We were all laughing so hard. Leigh reeked for a couple days after the event.



My last view of my city.



Just a little glimpse for those interested in what a miraculous beauty can be created when I pose with flowers.

Bite of Seattle!

This week I realized that we have only 3 weeks left in Seattle, and I panicked a little bit. I lived the Seattle area for 12 years, but barely got to experience the bajillion things that make it the city it is, so Reagan and I are making darn sure we get to see all we can. This weekend's featured event: Bite of Seattle


Each summer all the crazy foodies of Seattle come set up a booths and showcase what makes them famous. Among the showcased was Mighty-O's doughnuts, which is on the list of top ten doughnut shops in the country (we've now been to 3 of the 10).


Another favorite was Outback Jack's Australian Road Kill Grill. Normally I would advise against eating anything with Roadkill in the name, but I made an exception.


MaxiMus MiniMus wins the award for the best food truck ever, though the pig-themed truck didn't quite convince us to eat there.




And of course, what would the event be without a few ridiculously cool cover bands, and weirdo's dancing to their music. (I couldn't figure out how to flip the video, sorry)


I think the jean jacket is coming back... you'll see.
