Ah, finally

Tomorrow evening, at approximately 6:30pm...Andrew and I are free!!
(Well, for the next 5 days at least!) 
SO excited. 

We have been wanting to plan a lil mini vaca to Seattle for quite sometime. 
Then we had the privilege to hang out with some truly awesome people on Sunday...and they just so happen to live in Seattle. 

So we are taking advantage of it! 

 Our "tentative" agenda
 Mariners game -- happy late bday hubby!
A lil shopping (ah, makes my heart go pitter patter!)
 Pike's Place Market 
Thrifting 
Lots of coffee drinking (Seattle is the hometown of Starbucks after all, ya know...) 
Kerry Park, which we have heard has the best views of the city 
A fancy date night (so excited for this!)
A Ferry ride and...
probably a little people watching thrown in there, too!

25 years

And he's still got it! 
Yesterday was Andrew's 25th (wowzers!) birthday. 
Doesn't he look pretty darn good for being a quarter of a century old? ;)

Sadly, we both had to work, so I got up extra early and made the birthday boy blueberry pancakes w/ blueberry syrup and a hot vanilla chai in bed. He loved!

I didn't have to work until 1, so I dropped Drew off and headed for the gym. After, I came back out to the car only to be greeted with Clover plus some...gah! That dog! There weren't any trash cans in sight, but luckily I had a spare diaper in the car from the boys I nanny for, so all was good. Hehe!

We headed over to Drew's office after the gym and went on a quick walk during his break. 
There is a beautiful path behind his office and we love to take advantage of it on sunny days!


(Just a lil side note -- because I am just so proud of this guy... Yesterday he was called into a meeting that he really had no business of being in, they just wanted him there for a "young mans/Gen Y" perspective. During the meeting Andrew made several suggestions. The company has also been struggling with a name for their newsletter. They wanted something that incorporated their brand and name already but haven't been able to come up with anything that has stuck...and what does my amazing husband do? Oh, ya know, just blurts something out and they absolutely LOVE it. Later that day he was called into the office. His boss went over a few things with him and then also said that they would be giving him a $1.50 raise. That's $200 more per month! PTL, happy birthday! This good news couldn't have came at a better time. He.is.awesome.)


That evening we headed out to Le Bistro Montage and then to our absolute fav, Salt & Straw. I am not exaggerating, Salt & Straw is THE BEST ice-cream in the entire world. I know I haven't been to every single ice cream shop in the entire world, but I am certain S&S would top them.  I could eat it for dayssss. 
Lastly, Andrew really wanted to see the Avengers. I had no idea what the Avengers even were. Which apparently is a big deal... 

It was a lovely day celebrating an even lovelier person. 

Happy 25th birthday my sweet husband! 
You make me so happy to be your wife each and every day!
