I had hoped to post a weekend update complete with pictures of our trip to Seattle but our internet is down at home and I have no way of uploading my pics from the camera. Don't worry, a new modem is being delivered today! (We were seriously going crazy without it ( Read more... )

This whole car issue has seriously taken us on a rollercoaster ride in the past two weeks. It all started when we realized that we would have to either get my car fixed to pass the SMOG test. The EGR valve is clogged and it has something to do with the emissions. We wondered if it was worth it and thought about selling it before getting it ( Read more... )

This past weekend, we joined some friends for a combined bachelor/bachelorette party in South Lake Tahoe. I was looking forward to it because I have been working so much in the past month and to finally get a whole weekend off with some friends in a cabin in Tahoe, having drinks and just relaxing seemed like the perfect weekend for me ( Read more... )

Stolen from quite a few people. I love this idea! Plus, it gives me something to do this weekend since I think I might be spending it by myself. Wilson is thinking of going on a backpacking trip. I have to work so I can't join him. This will definitely keep me busy ( Read more... )

Does anyone here watch "Grey's Anatomy"? What did you think of last night's episode and what do you think it is going to happen tonight? I personally am so thankful that they only made us wait one day to find out and not a whole week ( Read more... )

In the beginning of the year, we knew we had to get a new car pretty soon. We've put some money aside for it and started automatic deductions from our checking account to our savings to simulate a car payment. None of us have ever had a car payment and I'm not looking forward to it at all. We don't really have a time frame as to when we want to ( Read more... )

I'm going to be in Seattle in the beginning of June for my brother's graduation. Can any of you suggest a hotel downtown that is cute but also reasonably priced? I think I need to book soon because it is graduation weekend. My brother lives in North Seattle so anything in that area is okay too. Thanks!

One of the great things about living in Northern California is that an impromptu day trip to Napa can be taken at any time. Wilson's sister invited us to go to Napa with them for a day and we jumped at the chance to take advantage of the beautiful weather we've been having. We invited another couple that we are good friends with and it ended up ( Read more... )

It has been a really tough couple weeks for our little household as of late. Last week, Wilson caught a stomach virus and felt wretched for a few days. I felt horrible for him because I know how much he hates being sick. During that time, he spent an insane amount of time at home and watching over Koi, our dog. As you know, we knew we were ( Read more... )
