Vacation is like a Coma

This is what I came up with this morning on my way back to the office. I went an entire week without watching TV, reading a newspaper, or talking with any of my aquaintences back home. I feel like i have been in a coma for the last week and am just now waking up. What happened over the last week!!
We had an interesting trip home... We sat by a 10 year old girl with some problems. Steph, I wish you were there to help diagnose. First i thought she was just a wild child and liked to talk. Then she started pulling back her already damaged cuticles and yelling across us for her mom to give her another bandaid. Her mom replied, "People aren't going to talk to you if you're bleeding!" She kept picking and bleeding for a while and ended up with most, if not all of her fingers wrapped. Yes, there was blood all over her clothes. So then, as she was watching a DVD on her travel player, she started talking along, and SINGING along at the TOP OF HER LUNGS. What do you think her parents did at that point? "shh" ...that's about it! oh my goodness. At the beginning of the flight all I could do was laugh. By the time Chicago arrived, I wanted to cry. And guess who showed up at our next gate?! Thankfully they were on the flight after us.

Trip plans

Hey all!

We land on Friday at 2pm. My sister is coming to get us on Tuesday morning to go to Vancouver for a few days visit. We don't fly out until Saturday night. We are so excited to get away from the drama our life has become. :) I'm so ready to see you all!!

Your friendly Seattle weathergirl

The weather forecast for the coming week is as follows:

our trip

hello ladies! Chris and I get in wednesday evening and get to visit with my 2 brothers thursday. I have to drop off Nobu wednesday afternoon and will likely cry when i have to say goodbye for a whole week! We leave thursday morning, 9:00. We are very much looking forward to getting a break from our day to day life. Can't wait to see you all!

4 days and counting...

I'm very excited to say that I'll see you all this week! Except for Liz, we'll miss you terribly.

I get in to Seattle late Wednesday night and Aaron comes in late Saturday night. We will be leaving for Portland via train sometime on Monday. We haven't gotten our tickets yet, but I'm thinking it will be sometime in the afternoon. We leave from Portland late Wednesday night and arrive home Thursday morning.

Anyway... Can't wait to see you all. This has to be short cause I have a lot to do to get ready for the trip on Wednesday.

See you soon!

Alright, already...

...I can't take it anymore! I look at the same page every day when I check the blog.

Can you believe it's only 8 days until the reunion?!? Liz, we are going to MISS YOU SOOO MUCH! You'll have to give us a good post so that we know what's going on with you. We'll try and call you, too. I can't wait to see everyone! When Kim and Julie were here for Josh's graduation, I felt so complete. I don't feel that way most of the time, so I can't wait to spend time with my girls again. It will be very refreshing!

I was hoping to have some of my wedding pictures by the time I came out, but I don't know if that will happen. I have a small album, but I have yet to go get the pictures that I've ordered. I'm still hoping I can at least get some of them, though.

When is everyone getting into and leaving Seattle? I am getting in Friday evening and leaving Tuesday morning. Just curious...that's all.

Ok, so that's about it from here! Can't wait to see you! :-)
