Tracy and Sherri Visit

Tracy and Sherri came to visit and help us get some house work done. We got LOTS of work done! We completely redid the bathroom and laundry room. They look fabulous!

First we had to tear out the floor in both rooms. Andrew managed to drop our drill down into the walls while we were replacing the subfloor, and Tracy somehow fished it out using two bungee cords.



We laid new tile in both rooms because the bathroom was carpeted and the washer had rocked enough to break a hole in the linoleum.

We also painted the living room and put new trim throughout almost the entire upstairs. It made a huge difference. Unfortunately my picture don't do it justice because of the sun coming through the windows. Sherri did a great job of not painting the ceiling. I wish I could say the same for Tracy, but he really struggled.

We are also putting up a desk in the loft and work bench in the garage, but I don't have pictures of that progress yet.

One Year!

Today was our one year anniversary. We drove up to a town called Anacortes, the homeport to the San Juan Islands. They were having an Arts Festival in the streets which we didn't know about until we got there.


We shared a chocolate turtle crepe.

Then we went to the State Park nearby and went to Rosario Beach to check out the tide pools.



We also ate our wedding cake and drank wine that Tom got us, Ethos from Chateau St Michelle

Megan's Parents Visited!

Yay! Granny, mom and dad came to visit from July 29 - August 3. Granny took a train and mom and dad flew in.

Visiting Snoqualmie Falls.


We ate lunch at Mike's Chili Parlor from "Diners, Drive Ins and Dives." Dad was thrilled and Granny got to be the first person to visit from Oscoda, Michigan.



Granny and I made pirogi.


We also visited Pike's Market, Ikea, The Space Needle, and went on the Duck Tours.
