Lets make Memories

Just a few pictures of our wonderful happy day!

Traveling with Turkey on our Minds

The days have finaly come to an end in Long Beach. It has been so hectic with getting everything finalized and packed. I was so happy to pick Raul up at LAX on Monday night. The airport was crazy...it was crawling with holiday travelers. But we safely picked him up and headed for or last night in our little LB house. The next day the movers came and loaded all our life in the truck while Raul and I finished the last bit of cleaning. With one last stop to In and Out, Raul and I were headed on the 605 N at five o'clock LA traffic. It took us a lot longer to get out of LA and on to the 15 headed to surprise Raul's family for Thanksgiving. We got all the way to Mesquite, NV and stayed at the negative 5 star hotel called the Virgin River. Last time we stayed there I won $30 on Black Jack....but we got there late and had to get up early, no gambling for us. The next day (Wednesday) we were on our way to Rupert. It took us about 7 hours...the dogs were champs and Raul drove the whole way. I took a nap, sang some songs and told funny stories. We rolled into Rupert at about 4ish and surprised Mary and the rest of the bunch. It was so fun. The next morning me, Raul and a few of his cousins ran in the 5K turkey trott...where you can walk, run, wiggle, or waddle your way through the town. We had great food and lots of laughs for Thanksgiving and shared stories and memories for years to come. I had a blast and a full belly.

I made a Discovery

Last night my friend Myrna and I cleaned my house and I discovered how amazing Bleach is. I love it! It is the best thing for cleaning. I got a little carried away last night when I was cleaning the walls in the kitchen, the top of the fridge, the door, dog door, stove, corners of the floor. "Bleach, my new Best Friend." It worked so well and even though the smell is so strong, I like it because it is bleachin'clean. Thanks Myrna for all of your elbow grease. We are getting pretty close to moving day!

Mission Accomplished

Things are busy as normal around here. I went up to Seattle this weekend to find a place to rent. Raul had picked out a few places and we ended up picking a cute house less than 2 miles away from the University. It is in a really nice neighborhood. Three bedrooms, two baths, nice back yard, DISHWASHER, and a cute living room. I feel really good about our decision. This house hunting was difficult for me. I hate making decisions like this. I had it made last year because Raul had our placed picked out before I came out to Long Beach. So the pressure was on for me to make the final decision. Like I said, I feel good about it. We will really enjoy it and so will the dogs.

Raul was awesome this weekend. He had so many things planned and took such good care of me. Some of the stuff we did:
House hunted
Pike's Place Market -downtown where they throw the fish
Columbia Building-70+ stories high to see the city
Ate lunch at the Sleepless in Seattle place on the water
Went for a beautiful run along the water
UW Football game vs ASU
Romantic dinner at a Thai restaurant
Met some new friends
Had awesome complementary breakfast in the hotel every morning

The Internet was really slow and I wanted to post some pictures but they will just have to wait. So basically the mission was to find a place for us to live....Mission Accomplished!

Halloweenie

I wanted to post a few pictures of my halloween weekend. I had an event of Saturday and dressed up as Olivia Newton John on Saturday and Friday at work I was a tennis player. It was a lot of fun. I wish that Raul would have been there. My friend Mayra is going to kill me for posting this picture...Sorry hun. The othe pic is of my other co-worker Melissa helping me pack popcorn hands for the event.
