Welcome to Washington :)















Paul and I spent an AWESOME weekend in the beautiful state of Washington.
Paul served his mission here (his "back for one year" mark is next week).















A family that he helped to teach and baptize were sealed this weekend!!!
This is us with the Katende's They are so nice, and their girls are adorable.
They are wearing their sweet Ugandan clothes.





























(Mt. Rainer from an airplane...
the plan is to hike it next summer)

I loved meeting all the neat people in Puyallup and Lacey. I can tell Paul was the bomb missionary because everyone just loves him so stinking much.

We also got the chance to spend an afternoon in Seattle,














This is us with the Puget Sound.















This was the Fish and Chips we ate on Pier 66.















This is the new rage in Sunglasses. Apparently.















Lots of Marajuana Pride going on down there.















We went to Pike Place- and the famous Fish Market
however, we didn't go to the SeaHawks pre-season game... Paul was way sad.

We stayed with the Roberts- they are so kind and generous! They have lots of fun, cute kids.
It was such a great weekend :) It was even SUNNY!

The Married Life

(and Marian- YOU are our sunshine!)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

So... the wedding did happen- i'm a married woman. :)
My photographer hasn't gotten our pictures back to us- that's why i've been holding out for a "married" post. but i decided that i'll just put those up when i get them.

This is us on the "skyride" at SeaWorld. we had SO much fun in San Diego-
we also went to Seaport village, the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Temple, Pacific Beach (we love the initials PB) and even fit in some shopping.

It was so fun to get to spend all my time with Paul and not have to be on any kind of schedule, which is so different from normal life.

We just bought a NEW CAR on Saturday!!!!
And I was just about to run outside and take pictures of it... but Paul took it to work. Those will come later.

Our adventure for this weekend- flying to Washington (state). A family that Paul baptized is going through the temple! I'm very excited.

Lots of fun in our new married life. I have fun hanging out with Paul's mom and Ellie and Will and Abby during the day, and finding things to do. But I love 4 o'clock when Paul comes home. :)
