Dry fruit...yummy!

After a weekend with my friend Bucky, I was determined to get a food dehydrator and make yummy, healthy snacks just like she did! It came in the mail this week and I immediately got to work. I'm very excited to see how it all turns out.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We celebrated at The Blarney Stone in Seattle. Good band, yummy beer, and a great date!

Motorcycle Diaries

I helped Paul "bleed the brakes" on the motorcycle. Yes that's right, I helped with the motorcycle! But of course I couldn't help snapping a picture while I helped.

Our very active weekends

As I type this, my entire body is sore...it hurts just to breathe. We went snowboarding on Saturday and I took more runs than ever and actually rode down the mountain like a real snowboarder! Then on Sunday we put the bikes on the car and headed to our favorite mountain biking spot. Being sore is totally worth all the fun we had, it was great! Here are some of the highlights.

Mmmmm....beer!

We took a road trip to Hood River, Oregon for a beer tasting weekend with some great friends.

Our first stop - Full Sail!


Then a drive across the bridge to local brewery with shuffle board and yummy sweet potato fries!


Back over the bridge for wine tasting!


Somehow I didn't get a picture at the last brewery, but I did end up with a nice sweatshirt from there! Thanks to wonderful friends for a memorable weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day this year, we made home-made wontons and fried rice, yummy! And of course, sake to go with it. It's a perfect way to spend Valentine's Day.

Our First Anniversary!

Out to dinner at our favorite sushi restaurant, then a romantic night at a hotel downtown Seattle.

I can't believe it's been a whole year since our wedding! Everyone says the first year is the hardest and if that's true then bring on the rest of our lives because this year has been incredibly wonderful!
