Catching Up
Let's call this the shotgun blog entry, a summary of life outside of work over the last few weeks...
We pulled out our pasta roller attachment (another wedding gift) and cranked out sheets of spinach pasta. The process was quicker than expected -- and the pasta tasted better than it looked. We froze the majority of it for future meals.
In stark contrast from last year's trip to Hawaii, we marked the first anniversary of our engagement (Feb. 22) here in Virginia. Flowers delivered to Missy's office were a welcome surprise (1-800-flowers.com is great).
After attending RaVae's funeral in Grandview, Washington, we headed back west for a rainy few hours in downtown Seattle. We explored Pike's place market, had dinner with Christine Wong (a classmate from my high school days), and lodged with Travis and Janae (Missy and Janae grew up together in Meridian, ID).
Following a warm winter, we marked the first 70+ degree March Saturday by purchasing household plants. Missy plans to employ a green thumb this year -- and brighten our balcony with flowers and plants.

Loved the update ... dear friends! Enjoy the week ahead.
That's not Janae Gifford you're referring to, is it? Or Travis Giarde? 'Cause if it is, the world is freakin' tiny.
I await your reassurances that the world is indeed large and yet to be discovered.
