Earth day weekend (Apr 20-22) was very nice!  Friday evening we met up with some friends for some drinks and snacks.  Saturday several of us all headed down to a park to do some clean-up for Earth Day.  We spent about four hours pulling out weeds and grass.  Other people at our location were removing other invasive plants (like blackberry plants), placed mulch, and removed a fence that was no longer needed (the fence previously kept geese from eating the newer plants that were placed there).  After we finished up there, we headed to our friends place.  He lives on a popular lake in Seattle, and it was a beautiful day!  We had some seafood, walked around the lake (which was very active with people, it was so fun people watching), and then enjoyed some ice cream and a movie.

This past weekend was fairly uneventful, but very nice.  We met up with friends for sushi and a movie on Friday.  We watched Puss 'N Boots... Carlos and I were having trouble staying awake, so we had to leave before we got to see the movie we really wanted to see (the latest Mission Impossible film).

We are in the process of house hunting, so Saturday we spent some time doing that.  We didn't really find anything that stood out for us though.  Unfortunately, around here, the market has already become more of a seller's market, although prices still haven't gone up much yet.  So wish us luck and blessings during our hunt!  :)

March Through April

I know, I know, it's been too long since my last post.  So I'll have to sum up.

The time with my husband's family in town was a lot of fun.




A couple of weeks later we celebrated Carlos' 28th birthday by, once again, playing laser tag.  This year I made a tiramisu layer cake.

The weekend after that we went camping/backbacking!  It was my first time camping out of NM, and my first time ever backpacking into the camp site.

Last weekend we went to a party in the space needle and then went to the Seattle Sounders game (soccer game, for those who don't know).  The party was neat, particularly because of it's location.  The game was a lot of fun, and the crowd had so much energy!




 This Sunday is Earth Day, so we will be volunteering on some rehab/cleanup down in the Seattle on Saturday!
