Hello all! Sorry for the gap in Blogs- it has been a busy weekend!
Saturday Jonathan and I went on our Seattle date. We started at the EMP (Experience Music Project) and saw many cool displays. There is a sculpture made of over 600 guitars that rises up like a cyclone in shape. 40 of the guitars are mechanized and work together to play music- it takes 6 guitars to make one chord as each guitar can only play one string at a time- it is quite phenominal! There was a Beattles display as well as a Jimi Hendrix display. There were workshops to play various instruments in and play with sound mixing and foot pedal. All in all it was very cool!
Next we went to Outback for dinner, we split an appetizer of Coconut Shrimp- one of my favorites and Jonathan had The Rock Hampton Rib-eye Steak and I had the Victoria Fillet- YUM!! We opted to skip dessert as we were quite full and wait till we went home for some ice cream:)
Sunday we went to The Morning Service at church and brought Laura with us, then I left Laura and Jonathan to meet Aleen to carpool up to the Alderwood mall to meet Kirstin and do some Bridesmaid dress shopping. It was quite fun, though a bit exhausting, it felt as if we tried on every option in the store! Kirstin's mom was there and 3 out of 4 Bridesmaids, so we had to please 5 people!!! Finally we found one that EVERYONE liked! It is really cute actually- some that we tried on were very typical "bridesmaid dresses" that you could never wear again, this one has potential. I am glad that we were successful on the first outing.
Today, being Monday was somewhat tiring, I go in early on Mondays to train for Emergency Payroll duty- incase Karrie is ever sick. It is quite extensive and requires about 3 hours, which puts me 2 and a half hours behind my normal schedule, which means that I will be playing catch-up till Thursday.
Today after work I freshened up Holly's cage and let her hop around the house. I belive that the freedom we allow her so often is going to her head. When I put her back into her cage she attmeped to destroy the walls to escape! Oh-my, I am not sure how to let her know that throwing temper tantrums is no the way to get extra hopping time.
God Bless!
The Up's and Down's, In's and Out's of daily life with a loving husband, a sweet boy, a fun-loving gal and a new life in the Philippines! God has indeed blessed us.

I realy would like to go to the EMP. Just the architecture of the building alone looks interesting. I am curious about The Beatles display as well.
