New House

My husband and I closed on a house here in Washington!  We got keys on Friday and moved in on Sunday.  It was sort of a chaotic move, but all in all successful.  We are still doing some cleaning up and packing of misc items at the apartment, but we will be done by tomorrow afternoon.  Here is an image of the new home:

If you'd like to follow the progress on us unpacking, settling in, etc.  you can do so on my other blog here.

We're Having a Baby

Yes, the title is correct!  We our expecting our first bundle of joy in February! I am 14 weeks 1 day along today, and all is going well!  The first trimester was rough, but it could have been worse.  Most of my posts related to pregnancy will be on my Home and Body blog located here!  Feel free to follow.  :)

Seafair and Deception Pass

This month has been full of recreation: game nights, hiking, a new book club, and the Seafair.

The Seafair was basically a big air and water show with lots of people and lots of booths selling stuff.  I didn't manage to get any photos of the planes but here is an image from the hydroplane race.

Last Saturday we went to Deception Pass, and like most places around here, it was beautiful!

July 2012

I really really keep wanting to get back to blogging more often (at least once a week), but if I'm not going to do that, I may as well update when I do think of it.  I last updated about June; I will now summarize July 2012.

We spent the 4th of July here in WA.  It was cold.  That's my first recollection, haha.  We did have fun though.  We had a friend invite us over for an all day affair complete with day time fireworks, a cookout, and an incredible evening firework show.

On the 5th we headed to NM!  We spent the weekend in Albuquerque for a family reunion.  Then Carlos went back to WA and I headed down the state to spend over a week with my parents and sister.  My brother also drove down to visit.  We did a lot of things:  cookouts, camping, bingo, played wii, etc.  I got to see my parents' and sister's new houses.  It was a very nice visit.

 On our way to NM we got some great news.  The offer we made on a house was accepted!  So since I've gotten back to WA we have been working through the process of purchasing the house.  We've fit in some fun times as well such as volleyball at the beach!

June 2012

After that sunny weekend in May we still haven't had too much sun.  Supposedly with June was supposed to come mostly sunny days and temperatures in the low 70's.  We've been lucky if it gets to the high 60's.  I don't mind that though.  It's more comfortable than the 100 degree temperatures I'd be getting in NM.

In the first week of June my parents came to visit.  It was a nice visit and we fit in plenty of fun stuff.  Some of the things we did were a food tour in Seattle, a whale watching tour, hiking, and a red enchilada night!

Fun things we've done since then include a Washington Brewer's Fest and a Pro Wakeboard Tour.  Soon to come will be a trip back to NM.  I'm looking forward to being back there.  Not looking forward to the heat, but looking forward to being able to wear dresses and shorts.  :)

Fun in the Sun

This weekend was so sunny and warm here (and by warm I mean 75 degrees).  We spent most of the day at a park/lake on Saturday.  While our friends were playing volleyball I jogged around the lake.  Most of us got sunburned (oops).  We then got food and relaxed at a friend's place while watching the Sounders game.  This weekend also included watching the Avengers and Skyping with my mom on Mother's Day.

Cinco de Mayo

We decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.  We had some friends over at our place for tacos, beer, and margaritas.  Then we headed to a block party in Seattle, followed by more fun and a pinata at our friend's place.

Here are some photos:
