Father's Day

This post is obviously a little late...but we had a wonderful Fathers Day weekend.  Andy's dad and mom came up to celebrate with us.  It was great.

Friday night Andy and his Dad went to see the Mariners beat the Phillies at Safeco Field.  They had a great time (and were even on ESPN)!  One of the players hit a home run and you could see Andy and his Dad in the video highlights.  I now have a famous husband, in case you were curious.  ha. What a great way to celebrate Fathers day.

I had been originally wanted to get Andy a rotisserie cooker - but decided that since I would probably use that more than he would (you know, it's like getting a woman tools for Mothers day)...I would get him something else.  Today he is spending the whole day with the Emerald Water Anglers learning how to fly fish!   He has been talking about wanting to learn to fly fish since before we moved to Washington.  I was so excited about this gift...and I hope that he really enjoys himself!

Isn't this beautiful??

Emerald Water Anglers

Who knows, maybe he will find another hobby (as if running, golf and other sporting events don't feel up his time).  Hopefully he will catch us some fish!!  

Happy Belated Fathers day to all the fathers out there! 

Day 23: Fifteen Facts About Yourself.

This is going to be harder than it seems...but here goes.

Day Twenty-three:  Fifteen Facts About Yourself

1. Sometimes I buy chocolate and hide it in a cupboard so only I can eat it (for those really rough days, you know). 
2. I consider myself to be a good housekeeper, for whatever that's worth.
3. I will sit through most any (clean) teeny-bopper movie, no matter how bad the acting is.  (Just watched THIS one the other day). haha
4. I waist too much time on the computer.
5. I have nice handwriting.
6. It really bugs me not to have my toe nails painted.  They have to have color on them ALWAYS.  I won't go without it.
7. I am afraid of deep water.
8. I love BBQ chicken, and most any recipe that involves BBQ chicken.
9. I am the only child in my family who is not named after a family member.
10. I love to bake.
11. I really dislike feet. There are few peoples feet I will touch, and two of them are my children.
12. My least favorite chore is mopping the floor.
13.  I use to enjoy writing poetry and one year gave my parents a book with all the poems I had written in it.
14.  I love to buy furniture and home items.
15. I love the 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzel packs.  Eating them is like a disease, but I just can't help it!
