SEATTLE!!

I know I haven't posted in what seems to be FOREVER! I know how disappointed you all are. It has just been a crazy couple of weeks. Jason even took off and went to Dallas for 2 weeks for a hail storm. But we managed to squeeze in some fun with a vacation to Seattle. We had an AMAZING time with AMAZING weather. I know what you all are thinking... Seattle...amazing weather?? I know-we could hardly believe it! The only overcast day we had was the day we left!!
We managed to stay pretty busy while we were there. We visited the market several times ( a day), took the Underground Tour (highly recommend) went to a baseball game (lost miserably), went to the Space Needle, visited the aquarium, rode "The Duck", ate at lot, walked A LOT, and shopped a little bit. All travel went extremely smooth and we even got switched from a 2 stop flight to a direct flight on the way home FREE!!

P.S.
And to top it all off, when we got home our neighbors informed us that they had torn down the broken fence, purchased the wood, and had started putting up a new fence!!

GO JAZZ!!

On Monday night Jason and I decided to go to the Jazz game. They played the Knicks. The Jazz have been playing pretty good lately and will hopefully make the playoffs. We sat in the upper bowl EXACTLY underneath the air conditioner vents. Needless to say we FROZE thru the whole game! (section 125 is a no-go!). Also in the 2nd quarter, some friends of ours showed up and actually had bought tickets right next to us without us knowing--seriously--what are the chances of that at the Delta Center?! Well at the half the Jazz were up 20 points, but somehow almost managed to loose the game! Either way, Jason and I had a good time.
