It's been a wonderful week.

This week started out wonderful. Pastor Tommy is preaching through Revelation and he is doing an amazing job. I could have listened for another hour and it would have been awesome.

On Sunday evening Paul got off work at 5pm and we all (my mom, Paul, and I) drove up to Seattle to take my little bro out to dinner for his 19th birthday. We went to a small Italian restaurant

Paul and I got our rings re-rodiumed (more white gold put on) this last week as well as got them cleaned. We have lifetime warranties on the rings so can get this done whenever we want. I must start doing to more often because my ring looks brand new!

This is my view at work, well part of my view. The rest I probably wouldn't be allowed to take pictures of. I answer that phone about a million times a day.

Yesterday Gabe and I went shopping. It was a fun girls day out. We started with lunch at Panera, then Gap, Nordstroms (where Gabe got danskos and I am jealous!), Romy, and many other places, it was awesome. Oh we went to a scrub store and I got new pants and one new top. :) OH and I FINALLY have a pair of jeans that fit. :) Then before after all of our shopping we stopped by Krispy Kreme. Fabulous!

Last night was wonderful. I rushed back to my house because Steve and Kathy were coming over for dinner at 5:30. I got home at like 5:20, started preheating the oven, mixing up pizza dough in the mixer, defrosting ham, cutting up olives and lettuce, slicing a cucumber, and by 6 dinner was on the table. I forgot to take pictures! Then after dinner Kathy and I made pumpkin scones while the boys put up a new garage door opener. :) I added about 1/2 a cup more flour (maybe even more) and just made a simple glaze of powdered sugar, some pumpkin spice mix and some milk. So so so good.

After Steve and Kathy left Paul and I went straight to bed (at 9pm), turned on the fire, and watched Broken English while the kitties snuggled in front of the fire. Pure Bliss.

Yesterday Gabe and I also went to Tacoma Boys. I got a ton of fresh fruit and vegetables for an awesome price. We had a giant grapefruit, kiwi, pumpkin scone (and Paul had the Krispy Kreme I got him), and a chai tea latte for breakfast. Oh heaven.

After breakfast Paul and I laid in the sunshine in the living room and watched the kitties play. Eric was being adorable under the kitchen table and Eleanor was being crazy and watching him.

Then Paul and I went swimming. Paul told me to pack warm clothes because we were going somewhere afterward but wouldn't tell me where. He didn't want to cooperate for my pictures on our mystery drive.

We wound up in Renton and were going to find a subway to eat at since we have a giftcard, but there weren't any close so we went to a Pho restaurant and it was amazing! We got bubble tea afterward for dessert. So yum.

Then we went to Lake Washington and walked all around the trail. It was 59 degrees out, the sun was shining, and it was so so so beautiful! My husband has the best ideas!

I saw this sign and could help but squeal inside a little, how sweet is that! Oh and I have a picture of me posing in front of this same statue forever ago, and so I made Paul take one today. :)

I love pictures, my new phone apps, and making collages. I have had the most wonderful day with my love and plan on the second half being just as wonderful. We are currently laying on the couch with the show White Collar playing.

And that my friends is my day. I have loved reading all your updates!!
