So, Vegas was good. Megan was sick the whole time and Paul was in need of an emergency root canal but otherwise it went well. We gambled a LOT. Needless to say, we are all absolutely broke. I think we lost a combined total of about $5000. We sat out by the pool one day, went to Margaritaville another. It was not your typical go-crazy trip to ( Read more... )

Friday night we starting celebrating Paul's birthday (which was actually Saturday) by going to Olive Garden for some fine Italian food. Yum ( Read more... )

another one bites the dust!

My friend Alisa got engaged yesterday! Man this summer is going to be jam-packed with weddings. She's planning a Memorial Day weekend wedding. (Kati, I told her she was on crack for trying to plan in such a short time!) Anyway, congratulations to Alisa!

A piece of useless trivia: Today would've been Chris Farley's 42nd

This weekend was an absolutely beautiful Seattle weekend. The sun was shining, it was about 60 degrees. We sat on our front porch swing and basked in the heat.....ahhh...and then in true Seattle style it dumped rain this morning on my drive into work. And they're even saying it has the potential to snow this week. Lame ( Read more... )

I am totally exhausted! This has been the longest week of my life! It didn't get off to the best start with the Superbowl party and two hours of sleep Sunday night. Now with baby here I've spent most of the last two nights at the hospital. Megan's coming in tonight, yea! But unfortunately that means another person staying at the house. I can't ( Read more... )

He came at 10:05AM yesterday morning. 6lbs 15oz, 21 inches. His name is Nathan Conner Hedrickson and he is absolutely PERFECT! My mom got in at about 7:00 last night and we went straight there. We both got to hold the little man and take a bunch of pictures (I'll try to get some on Flickr is the next day or so). I'm going back to the hospital as ( Read more... )

I'm officially going to be an aunt today for the first time! Jen went into labor this morning at around 3:00. My mom is flying in this afternoon and then we're headed straight to the hospital. Megan is going to try to fly out this weekend. Should be exciting! Can't wait to see the little guy!

I can't believe how lame the Superbowl was. The poor Seahawks got shafted and anyone that says otherwise must of had their head in their ass the whole game. I don't think I saw one flag thrown for the Steelers! Anyway, enough about that, it will only make me more angry ( Read more... )

Holy Cow this city is crazy! With the superbowl being just two short days away you would think the world is about to end! The state has officially declared today "Seahawk Friday" encouraging everyone to wear their Seahawk attire in support of the team. You can't find a Seahawk hat, shirt, or jersey at any store in the city, they're completely ( Read more... )

This is the newest addition to the family...his name is Gizmo (previously named of course). He's from a kennel and he's only 3 months old so I figure he's probably still pretty impressionable (I hope). Kati, the beagle we went to look at last night was already adopted. Paul has alway wanted a Jack Russell but I've been a bit aprehensive having ( Read more... )
