Sitting on the floor

We had a naughty dog last week. He decided to tear through the amazon box and then proceeded to open 6 protein shakes. Dark chocolate mind you. He also chose to do it on a night we were given tickets to a play.

Since the shakes were dark chocolate I had to force him to puke. With hydrogen peroxide. Piece of cake. He slurped it right up!

I wasn't sure if Jeter had any so he was up next. I had a feeling he wasn't part of the mess. Sure enough, he was just miserable when I forced him to puke :( Nothing.

No play for us. We had to keep an eye on our dogs and think about new carpet.

Tonight, we sit on the floor watching tv. Our furniture is in the garage because we are getting carpet installed tomorrow. I keep reminiscing about the days when we moved in. This place was bare and we were giddy about making this place our home. It is our home!

I can't wait for the furniture to be back in place. The floor is kind of hard and this does not feel like home! I want my cozy :)

Couples Retreat

In August we met the Turley's at Flathead lake for some R&R. It was much needed and so so much fun!

Last year we had the siblings with us, but this year it didn't work out for them so we kept it just the four of us. :)

I had the boys do some testing for me for a photo shoot. 

I am so thankful they are good friends like Jaime and I!

Beautiful MT sunset

The newlyweds!

Nate and his dogs!

Poor Nate had a case of his trigger headaches while we were there. :(

We LOVE the sun!

This is the only way I get in the photos. So attractive, i know.

There were some more crazy boating photos that aren't WORLD wide web approved. 

I'll keep the bikini photos private :) Just know we had a ton of fun!

Naughty dogs! 

We went out for a stroll and this is where they thought their bed was. It was too cute not to take a photo before I disciplined :) My heart melts when they cuddle. 

Can't wait for next year. We've made it a two year tradition so far. I DON'T want my Turley time to end!

Golf Tournament

I found pictures from the golf tournament. It was an overcast day, with the sun peeking in for a few minutes every hour. Typical. For some reason there were lots of swings that day...and they weren't practice swings ;)

Jaci and Conrad

{our friends from Wyoming. They miss their homeland too :) }

The sun, Nate and Me!

Thankful

In the spirit of November and thankfulness I thought I would share one thing we are thankful for-- the free tickets. We enjoy doing activities in the area, mainly sporting events. With them being so costly we can't go to all the ones we want to, but we have generous friends and know a few people with connections.

We are thankful for our connections and generous friends in the Seattle area!

Nate and I golfed with our friends in a tournament. Unfortunately we didn't win the grand prize or any door prizes. (I would have won the longest drive for women, but they didn't have a stick for the women. There was a playful disput with all the women and the guy in charge :) ) Our friends did get their name drawn for Mariner tickets! They invited us even though we didn't finish with a win.

Her company has had season tickets since 1973ish...they are really good seats!

thankful smiles :)

Can't remember if we won or lost. The game was in July :)

We also received tickets to the Sounders game in a suite from Nate's company! 

Free food and drink, num!

Soccer isn't bad. A quick 90mins and then you're outta there. If only we didn't sit in traffic for an hour that day. That was the day of the little league championship. We watched it on our phones to pass the time. 

 I think the Sounders won :)

Hunting Beard

It's that time of year that the winter, hunting beard starts to grow.

Nate made a deal with two of his friends/co-workers to start growing a beard for the company Christmas party, Dec. 10th. He was jacked and hasn't shaved since that day. He also told my dad {the best, fastest beard grower}  he was embarking on the winter beard journey. Dad didn't want to feel left out and decided he was going to grow one too starting that day.

Here are their week 1 beards.

Who's winning? :)
