Loving the Sunshine!

Springtime has arrived, and we could not be happier. The past few weeks have not only been sunny but warm! Hallelujah! Get ready for a photo overload.

First, though, I have to dedicate a section to the wonderful weekend spent in Utah! As a Christmas present to Lindsay and I, Paul booked me flights to and from Salt Lake City. I miss so many people in Utah now that we're up here. It was so great to visit with my sister, grandparents, aunts/uncles, sister-in-laws, niece/nephew-in-laws (is that a thing?), cousins, a few hometown friends, and even my momma who was in town. 

 It was about a 40 hr trip-- quick, but perfect. I so appreciate Paul coordinating and sending me off to visit my loved ones for a few days. Thanks, Pabs!

I loved the quality sister time...

I love my seester!

CPK: our classic "sister date restaurant"

Pepperoni & pineapple...YUM! :)

And it was so nice to see some of the Moss & Avery clan. Can't believe we were around when this cute boy was born-- he's already so grown up!

In fact, there were lots of cute kiddos to see in Utah...including Baby Brynne! We were lucky to get to be there for her baby blessing. What a doll! Congrats on your growing family, Melissa & Justin! :)

Lee girls reunited + new addition Brynne Lee Weight!

Baby B fan club

I even got to stop by and see my dear fellow Kansan Melanie & her hubs Andrew! Love ya- come visit!

Ignore our creepster glowing eyes?

There are so many more friends & relatives we need to see in Provo, and we are in the midst of planning another weekend trip if possible- this time together! It was sad to leave, but the gorgeous weather + husband awaiting in Seattle certainly lessened the blow.

The sunshine has allowed for a few really fun dates & outings over the past few weeks. Here are a few:

The Mariner's Game: 

Through work, Paul scored some tickets for a Seattle Mariner's baseball game. It had been awhile since  either of us had been to a baseball game, so we were stoked. We also got free t-shirts...score!

Snoqualmie Falls: 

Paul discovered this gem on one of his long runs. One weeknight we both got off work while the sun was still shining, and we decided to take advantage. We stopped by Snoqaulmie Falls then ate at Herfy's, a local diner. It was a fabulous night of sightseeing and burger-eating. Don't even get me started on the chocolate milkshake. I was in heaven. 

Why yes, that is a rainbow!

And just last night we were able to stop by Kylie and Fayoz's wedding reception! We are so excited for the happy couple. Since we were dressed up, we made a date out of it. We stumbled upon this beautiful public park/beach area up in Kirkland called Juanita Beach. We were there just in time for the sunset.

He is so good-looking! I am a lucky girl.

I guess that is all for now. We're excited to see what May has in store for us. We are looking forward to summer, and a few visits from family and friends pretty soon here. Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday! :)
