see ya

Sorry it has been a bit quiet on the blog this week. It has been kind of an obnoxious week. We are still under construction, which means our kitchen is totally torn up and a mess, and we are forced to do dishes in the bathtub. Sigh. I'm taking a break from it all and heading to Daytona, FL to meet up with family for a week at the beach. My family has been traveling to the same resort every year since I was a kid, which is just sort of a funny thing. Pick any time of the day, and I can tell you what we will be doing! 8am...donuts and coffee. noon...burgers from the food truck. 1pm...most likely a volleyball game followed by an immediate cool down in the pool. 7pm dinner on some outdoor patio with a guy playing Jimmy Buffet cover songs. Repeat for 7 days and you've got yourself a Florida vacation. It's a very predictable trip, and it's glorious! See you soon!

a house that makes me happy

Stumbled across this AMAZING house in W. Seattle the other day. It is covered from head to toe in flowers. Do you think they'll let me move in?

I'm in love.

I can't decide if it's really sad that it is surrounded by big, modern condos or if it just makes it that much cooler. I love the shot of personality and hope they never sell!

Hope you all have a colorful Monday!

happy anniversary

Today is our 4 year wedding anniversary! It's so fun being married. I love that I always have someone to hang out with...especially when that someone is always willing to play along when I make him take photobooth pictures or spin on his back or jump just for fun or harass our dog together or dress ridiculous. I'm so lucky! 

If you need us we'll be celebrating with anchovy pasta at How to Cook a Wolf.

ballard seafood fest

The Pike Place Fish guys were at the Ballard Seafood Fest last weekend slinging cookbooks. Naturally I tagged along because I don't miss a good street fair opportunity. I "helped" at the booth but also found time to take pictures, play with the pups at the booth next to us, eat a scallop burrito, drink wine and listen to live music. Success!

(the booth next to us was for a pet store. They had a kiddie pool filled with water for the hot pups. It was better than people watching)

down one wall!

Our contractors busted through our kitchen wall the other day! Eep! It's crazy how much more space we are going to have. It's not even close to being finished and it already feels so good. I'm liking this project more and more.

We are testing out a new wall color too. 

It's not every day you get to sit in the middle of  a wall!
