A *Long Overdue* Update...
People have asked me to update several times and I always think about it, but obviously never did it...
So, we will focus on some key things until now...
* Trestin and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary
back in October by going to Seaside. We're now approaching 4.5 years now, so it's been a while since that occurred. Things are still as great as ever and we learn new things about each other constantly. I wouldn't trade my life with him for anything <3
* Trestin had a birthday and is old now. :) Kidding! We had a family birthday and a birthday party with friends/family for him.
* We also made a trip down to Hilsboro, Oregon to visit Roloff Farms (we = Me, Tres, Sara and Krys). It was awesome and the sun was out. Plus, we got pumpkins for Halloween. Woo hoo
Here's us with Matt's parents, Molly and Zach Roloff
Me Krys and Sara :)
and us with our pumpkins!
and us with Matt Roloff!
* Trestin went to Space Camp in Alabama. I was not a fan of him being gone for a week, but absense makes the heart goes fonder, right? I also made a trip up to surprise him at the airport when he arrived back home. I liked being the surpriser since he often surprises me, so it was fun to do the same for him.
* Trestin and I spent Thanksgiving out at Fox Island with my family and his combined. It was a fun change in tradition and we both really enjoyed having both of our families together for the holidays. :)
* We hosted a "holiday party" at our house with a bunch of friends and family in December and a lot of fun was had. We always enjoy hosting events like that and sharing our house with others.
* The holiday season was hectic but a lot of fun. Tracy and Pony were nice enough to host Christmas Eve at their new home and it was a lot of fun. We then spent Christmas day at my Nana's house with all the family and then we hosted another Christmas party with my Dad's side of the family after Christmas.
with Santa!

Trestin teaches cousin Corine how to play piano <3
* For Christmas, Trestin and I decided to do less gifts and go on a trip together so we picked La Conner, Washington. It was absolutely beautiful
sun
love
our amazing room
and we stayed at the most awesome Bed & Breakfast - The Wild Iris Inn. We also went up to the Anacortes area and watched the sunset over the San Juans. It was amazing and my new favorite vacation destination.
* SUPER BOWL PARTY AT OUR HOUSE! My favorite part was the food, commercials and the awesome 3D glasses
kitty likes hers. :D
* Valentine's Day was spent at Hood Canal and it was wonderful. We made a point to do just about nothing. We played a ton of Mario Kart on the Wii and watched movies and just enjoyed some relaxation time. We don't do that enough, that's for sure.
* Trestin and I met Les Stroud
(Survivorman) at the REI in Seattle. We waited in line forever after his talk and were towards the back of the line. He was very friendly with everyone and was willing to answer questions so it was a slow process but it was also nice compared to the "hi, picture, bye" meeting with Boyz II Men (although meeting them was a billion times more awesome still ;) ...) Trestin decided to bring a harmonica for him to sign (he plays a lot during his show) and he played it for us and signed it. Everyone who was left in the room thought it was really fun. He's a very nice guy. Afterwards, we met up with Melissa and Danika in Seattle for some hang out time and it was nice.
* Hang out night with two of my best buds - Danika and Tyler! I had a little too much fun that evening.
* We did the Engineering Banquet this year and got to see old professors and friends and it was pretty fun. We also went out on the town with Danika afterward! <3
* Sara's birthday
She turned 22 so we had a birthday party for her at our place which involved dinner, going go-playing with the new breathalizer and playing Qwelf. It was an adventure! Aries got a party dress
and Rion got a hat
for the event. lol.
* Hang out with Bill & Becca!! Becca and I needed to destress after rough times at work so wepartied
not from Kirkland trip but from trip to Seattle with Kim, Trav, Sara, Trestin, Bill and Becca - I love this picture
it up at their place in Kirkland and it was a lot of fun.
* Trestin and I celebrated Pi Day on March 14th by making twopies
and delivering them to family. It was awesome.
Other than that, there have been random hang outs, house working, work, family dinners, etc. Life has been stressful, but we're hanging in there. My work laid off several people so it's essentially me and my two bosses plus a part time administrative assistant and manager. We're hanging on for dear life, but all keeping our fingers crossed that things will pick up and so far we're doing okay. It's been rough watching co-workers go though...Family is doing well and my cousin is in remission. The doctors are so impressed with her recovery and all her check-ups are crystal clear! We're so proud of her. And in other awesome news - my cousins are adopting another baby. She's 18 months and super cute and we can't wait to meet her at Easter. :D
I'll try to update a little more often now since me and Twitter are not friends (and no I will not be getting it - sorry! lol)
