i'm back

after a very long hiatus, i am back into the blog world again.
we spend two excellent weeks in seattle celebrating my little sister's wedding.
highlights of the trip include
  • being a part of my second most favorite wedding - my own being the first
  • watching my own hubby officiate the wedding
  • rejoicing that my little zoom DIDN'T steal the show, but walked down the aisle as if he were a shy little boy
  • hearing him say that "dancing" was his favorite part of "the wedding show"
  • getting some serious landscaping done in my parents 35 year old overgrown garden - it looks fab!!
  • hearing zoom boss the dog, "jake, stay on sIDewalk", "jake, come HEre"
  • welcoming hubby back from a successful summit of Mt. Rainier (and then hearing the hairy story)
  • having four plus adults to one very active toddler
  • sleeping in, nearly every morning
  • not overbooking
  • getting a night away, just hubby and i! first time since zoom's birth
  • coming home with mostly clean clothes (thanks mom for doing our laundry the entire time!)
  • coming home to find all our plants alive!
  • coming home to find the businesses survived us being gone for 2 weeks!
the lows:
  • every one of us getting sick at least one day of the trip
  • zoom arranging his sickness during his birthday party
  • coming home to find a sub took off with the down payment and some of our tools

It sounds like a lovely time...

But a sub [sub-contractor?] taking money and tools -- yikes. Do you know who it was and/or what course of action are you taking?? You can email me this, if you'd like. Sheesh.

But the trip...it sounds wonderful. Don't you love the luxury that a full 2 weeks provides? I love how relaxed it is.
