Sunny and I had two Thanksgiving dinners today! In the afternoon we ate at Idamae and Khai’s house. That evening we had dinner at Laurie and Scott’s house. We ate so much we had to roll ourselves home!

We celebrated Mike’s Birthday at Laurie and Scott’s house.

Sunny and I carved pumpkins at my parent’s house. This has become a small tradition for us, and one we really enjoy. We had purchased two perfect pumpkins two days before and with our family gathered around the table, we began to clean and carve our pumpkins. My design was a cute face while Sunny carved the word love. They were two beautiful designs. Afterwards we gathered the pumpkins together outside, lit the candles, and took photos of the scene. Since Sunny and I were low on space we decided to leave our pumpkin at my parent’s house.

Sunny and I had a free facial from Gene Juarez Salon. We had a great time relaxing while we were pampered.

Brook is married! We had a great time at Brook and Charlie’s wedding. Sunny and I walked onto the Mukilteo/Clinton ferry where we met Katie, Graham, and a few other party goers and traveled to Clinton. After debarking the ferry, we were met by a golf cart that drove us to the wedding. The wedding was right on the beach under a big white tent. We were met by Brook’s Mom who gave us each a big hug. We met John and Jessica and were later joined by Andre and Carrie. Later we would run into Eila and Mars and Alvin and Nora. The Frontier Bank crew took photos with Brook and Charlie on the beach before their first dance, which was to “At Last”. I’m sure Brook meant it when she picked that song!

I’m planning the party of a lifetime. I was never the little girl with the pre-planned binder of ideas that followed me throughout adolescence. However, now I’m finding that I’m getting into the entire wedding game of planning one of the most important days of my life…so far! Kevin and I are fans of Parisian influence. As most of you know that’s where we were engaged. Therefore we will be incorporating the French theme into as many of the wedding details as we can. We can’t wait to share our special day with you. xoxoxo

Sunny and I spent the evening together on July 4th. After dinner we walked along a park on Magnolia Boulevard where we asked tourists who had been bussed to the park by their cruise lines to take our photo. The park is directly across from Alki Point and overlooks the Sound. Sunny took me to one of her favorite places to sit and enjoy the view.

Later we drove to Sunny’s Grandma Minty’s apartment to watch the fireworks. The view from the 10th floor of the building was awesome, the show must have lasted an hour! We are definetely coming back next year!

Sunny’s sister Jessica graduated from the University of Washington! In honor of Jessica’s hard work, I’ve posted a few pictures from the celebration dinner at Sunny’s Mom’s house…

Sunny and I ate brunch with Sunny’s Dad and Julie at Palisade for Sunny’s birthday. It seems amazing to me that I was just meeting the two of them at Palisade one year ago. Now Sunny and I are planning our wedding… The food was amazing. Sunny had Seafood Joe, Gary had Seafood Louie, Julie had the Country Breakfast, and I had a rib eye steak and eggs. We had a great time. I posted a few photos below.

Voula’s Offshore is one of my favorite restaurants for my favorite meal of the day, breakfast! Voula’s is located on Lake Union in Seattle and serves American with a Greek twist. This morning I ate pork chops and eggs, while Sunny ate Voula’s famous Hobo. Their food is outstanding and the coffee never ends!
