Run Away!!

Monday January 23rd, 2011

Of course we got some ridiculous fog!

I was only scheduled to work the morning flight so I could head home and get ready for our trip.

Little did I know that it would end up being such a big deal.

Our flight ended up sitting in the originating city until the fog cleared.

Long story short after a lot of complaining and arguing with passengers,

 the plane finally landed around 11am, when I was scheduled to be off by 10am..

Finally left at 12. To where Jason was sitting on the couch waiting for me!

I finished packing and we were out the door by 12:30!

Headed out and had to get gas and Jason forgot his wallet...

So in real truth I think we got on the road around 2pm!

We were honestly worried about the pass because we knew it had been hit pretty hard, and been closed.

But we went anyways(:

This is what it was when we got there!

Clear!

Yay us!

So we plowed on through.

With Jason's new tires on the tahoe it was a breeze!

We got to our hotel and checked in.

Yes I'll admit its not the normal hotel we have stayed at the modern, hip ones.

We stayed at the Edgewater which was still a 5 start hotel just a different feel.

I think Mom and Dad would have loved it!

It was more of a cabin feel!

All of the rooms had stone bathrooms, walk in showers, and fireplaces.

This was our view from our room.

We were right on the water, our balcony was hanging above water!

CRAZY!!

Anyways we dropped our stuff off and headed downstairs to go shopping(:

We hit the streets and I swear went to ever store possible!

I made my biggest haul at

Three floors people! 1, 2, and 3!!

We headed to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory!

It was actually really good.

I've never eaten there so it was better than I thought.

Of course we got cheesecake!

After a few hours we headed back to the hotel.

And saw!

Next morning we took our time waking up and getting ready!

Jason LOVED the fireplace, he kept it on all night long.

But he sat in his robe by the fire, eating his cheesecake, watching Yogi Bear(:

Isn't he so cute!!

Finally we got ready and it was lunch time!

So we headed down to the restaurant in the hotel called 67

It was so pretty! It looks over Elliot Bay.

Lunch was pretty delicious too.

The Raspberry Lemonade was probably my favorite!

After lunch we headed out. 

Went and saw the Space Needle!

Haha! The ride up felt like a ride almost and it made me sick!

Once we got to the top although it was foggy it was super cool!

You could see everything!

You are wayyyyy high up there!

I've never really been scared of heights but its just so weird to be that high and not be inside!

 After that we did more shopping!

And took my favorite the Monorail

And got some delicious Chocolate at Godiva

and I got make up and Sephora.

And Jason got a new coat from Columbia!

After hours we went back to our hotel room and dropped off our goodies and headed to dinner with one of Jason's friends who lives up there.

Actually the same one who owns the Helicopter Jason took me up in!

We were going to go up again, but it was broken!

We ended up at PF Changs.

It was fun, we talked for hours.

After dinner we headed back to the hotel and I finally got to hop into..

The best bathtub ever!!!

While eating this..

Uhm? Perfection!!!

Haha(:

We got up the next day and packed up, checked out, and headed to Redmond.

Mostly to Carnation and Duval.

Jason used to live up there and his family had farms so we went down memory lane.

Drove aroumd looking at what used to be his stomping grounds when he was young.

Seeing where he used to wake up every morning to feed the baby calfs at 4am before school!

Now it's all gone, their houses, barns and friends homes are all gone and rebuilt on with horse stables and trees. It was really nice to get out of the city and see where he grew up.

Talk about his elementary school, and how everything used to be.

After a while of driving we headed to lunch at Canyons.

And made our way towards North Bend..

where I did more shopping..

And yes Jason wanted me to say that yes I did get down on myself in the dressing room because I tried on 6 dresses and none of them fit right, and nothing looked good! So yes! I was upset!

So, he took me to the candy shop and got loads of goodies and ice cream!

Man, he knows how to cheer me up!

(:

And we made the stop at the summit to check out all the big cabins,

and decided next year we'll have to rent one for the weekend or two.

But we finally made it home!

It was a blast!

And words will never thank Jason for all these perfect little get aways we go on!

Makes our love stronger, just to run away from the world for a few days!

When he works 18 hours straight each day for 4 days straight.

Its nice to have our time.

(:

Thank you once again baby!

Never Ending

Since yesterday was Jason and I's day off he decided to surprise me and take me on a little get away!

Although everything didn't go as planned it was still a blast!

We were on our way out of town and drove past one a Jason's friends house so we picked him up and brought him along for the ride!

We headed up to Snoqualmie Pass to go tubing and play in the snow!

The line was outrageous!

There was no way I was going to pay money to stand in line for three hours and get to go down the bunny hill once!

NO WAY!

Jason had the bright idea to head to Seattle for dinner!

Since we were exactly dressed for the occasion we stopped in North Bend and picked up a new outfit!

(:

Then we made the short drive to Seattle's downtown.

We decided on a fun place..

Gameworks!

For those of you who have never been..

It's like never ending fun!

It's a huge arcade for big kids!

But it is still kid friendly..

You pay to put points on a card and you go around swiping the card at the games you want to play!

So much fun!

We ended up eating there too.

It was really good food!

Jason won me a giraffe....

ADORABLE!

After that we hopped across the street to the

CHESSECAKE FACTORY!

Yummm....

Just couldn't help myself! I had to take a few bites on the way home!

The guys stopped at Legends Casino for a little bit and we were home by 11pm!

And now were  back to reality today..

Jason at work at 4am-8pm today

and I'm at home cleaning up from our fun till work at 5pm!

I love days off (:

Christmas

Christmas has come and gone! It's so sad! Everything we looked forward to all year!

Well! Only 363 days left!

Jason and I did a little bit of last minute grab and go shopping at Costco and as tradition states..

I get the honor of having these given to me (:

Aren't they gorgeous!

Christmas Eve

So because we got the privilege of having two Christmas's this year we planned out that we would spend Christmas Eve with Jason's dad Joe!

So we got all of our snacks together...

 And lucky enough this what we came up with! Man was it delicious!

We started digging in when Joe said we have to run to the store to grab one more gift..

Jason and I look at each other puzzled and say Okay?

So we all pile into the tahoe and head for Kennewick.

We end up at Lowe's and start getting this huge box moved into the tahoe!

It was a grill! Not just any old grill!

A Char-Broil 4 burner Commercial series propane grill!

Jason was so excited!

Joe said the only condition is that when he comes to town and comes for dinner we're grilling!

We happily agreed (:

As we moved on to eat Jason had made Ham & we had the good old fashioned dinner.

We decided it was getting late so it was time to open presents!

We thought it would be a good idea to get Joe a vacuum.

A robotic vacuum that it (:

For those of you who don't know Joe is the Lieutenant at Coyote Ridge Prison.

So he works nights so we thought it'd be a good idea to give him something that could clean the house while he was asleep during the day!

Yay us!

Anyways, Joe ended up buying me an awesome camera so I can take video and pictures all the time now! And Jason got to open the grill cover!

Since Joe had to head to work we sent him off with dinner leftovers.

We decided that it would just be better to open presents now than earlier in the morning because we had to get stuff ready for Christmas Day at the McGarys!

Of course Jason makes me go first.

This guy is amazing. It's ridiculous!

And just to start naming things off!

Christmas Day

We got everything ready to head over to McGarys and loaded up!

Started out by getting all of the snacks together and ready to go.
In which the Ottleys arrived!

Opened all our presents (:

I got some under clothes essentials for the cold!

Muchly appreciated!

 And an awesome giftcard to Hobby Lobby

I think they must have forgotten I'm not too good at math!

 Jason got his favorite game

And an ihome that we can put our iphones on and the ipad2 on!

Coolest invention ever!

And he got a video game for his new xbox360!

Jason and I decided to give a little something extra this year.

Yes, we drew names and we got the present for them!

But we decided that we'd give the parents a lil something!

Decided to give Curtis the Kindle Fire

and Julie a Paula Dean kitchen pots and pans set!

And we couldn't resist getting Gav some Cars stuff(:

 We all sat down for food and man was it good!

Prime rib!

You never can go wrong!

Huge feast of delicious food. We were all stuffed.

Played with our new toys for a bit then did Gingerbread houses!!

I think we won the cutest category!

We were lucky enough to get to help Katelyn make her house!

Aren't we cute!!

After we cleaned up that huge mess it was time for the big kids to go to work!

Blaine was headed to the airport as well to take off for Stephen's wedding this week. But we were off in a flash!

I love Christmas! This year was amazing.

Better than any other(:

Fun Filled Day!

Yesterday consisted of work, food and fun!

I got the lucky chance to get up at 7am to be to work at 8am.

We finally got done with our flight at 11am.

So I raced home and threw on some decent looking clothes and Jason and I

headed to lunch at Olive Garden with the parents!

Aunt Terri was even in town so we "drug" her along too!

It was great to see her! We talked about the McGary family Christmas Party coming up!

Besides the salty water, and the power going out, it was delicious.

After lunch we headed on a road trip to "E-Burg" as everyone but me likes to call it I guess,

 Jason and I got in a discussion how, why is it "e-burg" and not Ellensburg.

I mean come on, I didn't walk around and say, "Yay! R-Burg!!" When I lived in Rexburg!

Just seems weird to me!

Anyways, it was a lovely ride jammin' out to our favorite songs!

Went and did the highlight of our trip at the Kittikas County Courthouse

and headed back on the road when we saw a Yamaha Store.

Oh the toys!

Jason loved it!

After we left that great place we headed down the road and the Chevy Dealership caught his eye!

So we stopped and looked  at the dream...

After we drooled a little bit we headed on our merry little way.

Jason surprised me by taking a quick stop at

MINERS

And let me tell you!

About the word

DELICIOUS!

Grabbed our food and raced back to Tri-Cities for us to both go back to work!

Yay us! It was a fun filled day!

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Where are you Christmas

We finally got in the Christmas spirit today and set up shop!



The stockings hung up

Tree bought and decorated

Even Shadow and Mater got into the action

Now to celebrate the day, Jason's cooking dinner(:

Happy Holidays!
