&BABY: I love you!

Thank you for making me feel special on my big day

and creating memories I will never forget!!

Save the Day!

I honestly feel like I don't give this girl enough credit.

She is a GENIUS!

No words can describe. I know it's kinda ridiculous.

I hate to say it.... But she might be my new KESHA!

Her new song "Domino" brightens my day.

It's one of those songs you grab you're girlfriends, hop in the car, with the windows down, sun shining!

...................................................

 Helps me get through those long work days!

I catch myself singing on the tarmac..

Embarassing?

How could you be? With a brain like hers!

So thank you Jessie J.... THANK YOU!

Oregon Coast

Well, since the only people who really read my blog were with me this weekend. I think I'll just post my experience through my pictures!
It was a blast! Thanks to everyone (:

seattle #3

Trip started out Friday night, Jason and I left after we got off work!

Its so nice having him pretty much work the same schedule as me, so we both already know each others schedules, and we get off around the same time!

PERFECT!

We spent the night at the hotel murano. I am so spoiled.

Yupp! Thats my hotel!

We woke up Saturday and headed to Covington, with Jason's friend Greg.

We watched the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Races.

(National Hot Rod Association)

Let me tell you! These things are loud!

Everyone had ear plugs, and I was like Oh whatever, I'm around planes all the time. No biggy. Right?

NO! These things made my ears hurt with ear plugs in!

It was loads of fun! I mean, fast cars, the smell of fuel, and burnt rubber?

Dream come true!

Especially with this guy next to me!

I can't lie! It was something new for me. But I was suprised at how fun watching cars speed by could be.

Ya, talk about loud huh! Loud and fast!

We ended up going back to the hotel. And taking a nap!

I love nap time!

We later went to dinner! In Seattle.

Quickly grabbed something on the Pier and headed to bed!

Did some walking around watching the sunset.

Woke up & headed home!

... Because we both had to work!

Yay Work.......

We had two back to back flights.

And the first one ended up being an hour late.

So I got no dinner break!

And THIS WONDERFUL GUY!

Brought me and my whole work, Pizza &breadsticks!!

How amazing is he! (:

Overall ended up being a great weekend!

And the next day!

I woke up to this!

I can't complain!

Upcoming weekend:

OREGON COAST WITH THE FAMILY

stay tuned(:

seattle #2

Okay, Okay, so yes. I am officially spoiled. I'll admit it.

Jason and I had our second weekend in a row in Seattle!
This weekend, we hit the road around 7pm on Friday night and I'm sorry to say, we I forgot the backstreet boys cd.
So no singing at the top of our lungs this time!

We had planned on staying with Jason's Aunt and Uncle who live in Seattle, but we got the "no room at the inn" phone call about an hour in!
Luckily we got a room in Bellevue....
(This is where you hold your breathe.)
(Drumroll please.....)

Yes people! We stayed here.....
Hotel Bellevue.
5 star hotel!
The REAL DEAL!
I felt like royalty!
WeI had loads of fun acting like a giddy school girl running around looking, and touching everything!
We woke up the next morning and went outside to get the car from the Vallet.
......

this lovely vehicle was outside.
I told Jason I would gladly drive that instead of the Tahoe!
But I think he likes his Tahoe better!
We started to drive off when we noticed this beauty next to it..

Hmmm! Yupp, you still want the Tahoe Jason?
I was starving and instead of getting breakfast delivered to our room.
I decided it would just be better for us to go and eat somewhere else...
I ended up choosing Dennys...
Talk about going from one end of the totem pole to a low!
It quickly got eaten and we went to get the Tahoe washed.
Because after two trips to Seattle, she was looking kinda messy.
When we got a text from Mom saying the crew had made it to the Safeco Field.
We met up with Grandpa McGary, Dad, Mom, Brent, and Alexis. Brent's girlfriend.
It was a little chilly in the shade so we went and got sweatshirts and sat down!

Like Father like Son!

Cotton Candy fun(:

Finally some sunshine!

And yes! The Mariners did win 3-2 (:
thanks to the McGary/Ostrem/Torres support!
After the game the other crew headed on back home while Jason and I went to enjoy some more of Seattle.

We went down to the pier and walked around, went to the AQUARIUM!
& yes Gavinn, I thought of you the whole time!
I thought I had fun! You woulda loved it!

Had a total blast!
Walked down to Pier 66. Which is where we had dinner... At Anthonys.
Never been before! So I can officially say now that I have been.
Probably the best food I have ever had in my life.
(Next to my mom's of course!)
I had Salmon and Jason had Steak.

Then we headed decided to head back to the car!
I guess there was a huge parade going on because they had a whole bunch of streets blocked off, and duh...
TRAFFIC WAS CRAZY!
It took us forever to get out of town!
But here I am sitting in the passanger seat thinking, we're going home... already...
Jason! Being the suprise guy he is. Decided he'd take me to the Snoqualamie Falls.
Right at sunset....

HOW PERFECT HUH!
It was a gorgeous site!
It was nice just to stop and stare at the water fall. It was so cool!

But we finally got back in the car, and started on the road.
When once again... we stop at North Bend.
And yes all you women already know whats in North Bend...

Yes.. This is where the I'm spoiled part comes in..
Jason bought me, not ONE, but TWO BAGS!

How pretty are those.... You can't even lie!
We finally got on the road and headed home for real!
I felt horrible because.. I fell asleep again.
I told him all the suprises tucker me right out!
Haha (: but it was an amazing weekend!
Everything turned out perfect.
I haven't had that much fun in a long time!
And even when I got home and opened my bag to get my toothbrush out.
I found...

A whole bunch of sour punch straws!
Jason had stopped while I was asleep and snuck them into my bag!
I mean this kid never stops (:
Thank you for an amazing weekend!
Stay tuned.
Possible Weekend #3 in Seattle!
