Thanksgiving Trip 2008

We are back from our Thanksgiving Trip to Seattle and we had such a fun time!! Besides all of the great food and hanging out with family, Kris, his family and I got to see the sights of Seattle as well. We went to the Space Needle to eat lunch, saw Pike Place Market, watched movies and just had an all around fabulous time! It was soooo fun to meet all of his family and get a chance to hang out for 5 days. Below is a slideshow of our trip that I had to post separately. I want to thanks Kris' Uncle Scott and Aunt Bonnie for letting us take over the top floor of their house. But really thank EVERYONE for such a great time.

WWWHHHAAAATTT???!!!??? (ahahah....that was so funny Allissa, I put that in there for you!)

It was great to make memories with everyone and hopefully we can make it tradition and visit each other more often!

Thanksgiving Trip 2008

Back we go...

To SEATTLE! We are headed to Seattle for Thanksgiving. Hope you all have a happy one. Maybe this time I can go to Pikes Place and just relax!! We will be watching football on the TV instead of live this time! We will probably stay a little warmer too. Here are a few things that I am thankful for this year:

Em's "thankful for" List:

1. My health

2. My job

3. My family (this includes Kris' family....the one's in Washington too...looking forward to seeing you all. We will have so much fun, Kris is already rolling his eyes!)

4. My wonderful, comfy house

5. My TRUE friends....I appreciate you so much.

I could keep going but the list would be too long. (Hug your moms this year if they are still with you and tell them that you love them...I miss mine.) I TAG you to make a list of the things that you are thankful for on your blog. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

SEATTLE:)

Back from SEATTLE!

We had a great time in Seattle this weekend. The HAWKS lost but it was fun anyway! We had LOTS of good food and relaxation time. Just wanted to say THANKS to Allissa, Kevin and Roxanne for a GREAT dinner on Satruday nite after we flew in. It was so nice to finally meet them and get to chat. I am looking forward to spending more time with them this Thanksgiving. ABOVE are a few pics from the trip:) ENJOY!

Well it has been awhile....

Since I posted something besides a tag. WE are headed to watch the SEAHAWKS play and to have a weekend AWAY. It is going to be SOOO nice. So here is my plan.....

A little SEATTLE:

A little FOOTBALL:

A little Pike's Place:

And who knows what else......think of us.....don't be jealous.....wait for pics:)

I AM: EXCITED!

Jen's TAG....I'm goin in too!

Jen, thanks for this productive TAG, although I just switched purses so it should be fairly clean. That and I don't have any kids either so that should help!

GOIN INTO THE COACH to find:

1.Tylenol

2.Nail glue (just in case of emergency)

3.GUM...but no wrappers

4.checkbook (who writes checks anymore?)

5.wallet with cards. (coffee, bank cards, drivers license etc.)

6.An "I VOTED" sticker

7.3 kinds of chapstick (depending on my mood.)

8.Orthodontic wax

9.dental floss

11.a spare key to my JEEP

STOP....you are UNDER ARREST!

SO I KNOW that ALL of you have been wanting to see the pics of the HALLOWEEN PARTY since I revealed what we were going to be in the last post. I am going to post just a few pics and if you want more send me your email address through my email....

Kris had to work HALLOWEEN night but he got home just in time to make it to the party. There was LOTS of great food and drinks and just enough people to make it fun but not over the top. First things first.....I got a new HAIR~DO....had to go dark for the winter.

Andrea at Shear Bliss in Reno does my hair and she is GREAT...what do you think?

After he got home we loaded up our bevs and the mini meatballs that had been simmering all day and we were off. You can get a little dose of the costume in these pics but they do NO justice to the costume.....let me assure you that when the night ended, the party goers got to vote on SEXIEST, FUNNIEST, SCARIEST and MOST ORIGINAL costume. That's right my friends you guessed it....KRIS got funniest and I got sexiest. We make a great team. The coveted prize was an emmy-like skeleton trophy with title, wine, crackers and cheese along with a couple wine glasses. How did they know that would be the PERFECT gift for me?? Kris got cookie dough:) He also won the brain teaser game....pretty smart convict I would say! ENJOY!

Good thing I am a FRIENDLY cop.....:)
