Another beautiful wedding!

This weekend was Megan and Sam's wedding and we had such a good time. It was a busy but fun couple of days spending time with all of the bridal party. We had a pumpkin carving work party for the reception, spent Friday with Megan doing nails, lunch and the rehearsal dinner, and then had an awesome day on Saturday despite all of the rain! They got married at the Fir-Conway church and then the reception was at the beautiful Tazer Valley Farms. We wish the new couple a lifetime of love and happiness!

Dog's Life Festival

Jodi, Krisi, Patti and I went to the Dog's Life Festival at Edgewater Park this weekend and had so much fun! We started off the morning with a 2 mile fun run along the dike and then came back to enjoy all of the booths, demonstrations, dog dancing, parades and off leash areas! The dogs had so much fun but were definately pooped by the end of the day (as were their owners!)


Such a ham! :)

John's Surprise Party

Nick and I went down to Tacoma for a surprise party for John. He is being deployed to Afghanistan this month and his wife, Gina, wanted to throw a goodbye party for him. We all met up at BJ's in Tacoma for some good food, drinks and fun! We had a great time! We will miss you John! Good luck!

Mr. and Mrs. Movius

Hello everybody! Sorry it took us so long to post something new but we have been a busy pair! We are officially married and couldnt be happier!! Our wedding was so beautiful and fun and we are so greatful for all of our family and friends who were able to come share our special day with us. We had the most amazing day ever! We have not gotten the professional pictures back yet but here are a few that people took during the day.





After the wedding Nick and I took a few days and went to Las Vegas and Priest Lake, Idaho. We traveled around a lot but had fun getting away for a few days. We came home very tired and immediately got sick. The both of us were pretty drained and we just took it easy and got some much needed rest.

Unfortunately Nick was in a car accident about three weeks ago and his car was almost totaled. We have been fighting to get all the insurance taken care of, rental cars, and getting his fixed. It is all working out, however and he should have his car back soon. It has been a pain because Nick just started school again. He has a great classroom with great kids. He thinks this year will be great!

Almost there!

Hi everyone, wow its been crazy! We are only 4 days away until the big day!! We have had plenty to do and with this crazy 90+ degree heat, its been nearly impossible to get the much needed beauty sleep for the wedding! :)

We have had many meetings and shopping trips to try to get everything done for Saturday. We cannot believe how the time has flown by! We both are in disbelief that we will be a married couple by the end of the weekend! Monday morning we will be heading to Vegas and Priest Lake for the week so we are looking forward to getting some much needed rest and relaxation.

Jen came home from South Korea on Saturday and it was so great to see her. My mom and I picked her up from the airport and then we went on a mini shopping spree in Bellevue. Then that night we celebrated my bachelorette party which was a blast. Thank you to all of my friends and family who attended! Addy and Lydia's birthdays were also celebrated this month and both parties were great fun! Happy birthday to my favorite "nieces!" :)

Here are a few pics from my bachelorette party...just a few "highlights" of the night :)

Mariners Game

We had a really fun Saturday spending some time on Safeco Field meeting some really cool players and getting some autographs. My parents won tickets to go on the field, meet a player and get our pictures taken. Jamie Burke was the only player available but he was really nice and friendly. We have professional pictures coming in the mail soon.

Nick got his autograph as well as Lee Tinsley's. He is a coach but the experience of being on the field with them was really fun. We wanted Griffey's autograph but he wasnt playing that day. He was pretty close to us and we got some good pics. The seats were amazing too. Check out the pics!

A weekend in Winthrop

Nick and I decided to get a way for a couple of days and drive over to beautiful Winthrop. Nick had never been there before so it was fun showing him around the old western themed town. It was super hot, about 97 degrees on Saturday. I got a nasty sunburn from being in the pool at the campground. It was amazing how deserted the town was because usually its a huge tourist trap in the summer and its hard to get around.

We took Annie with us and she was surprisingly pretty good for her first camping trip. She discovered how fun swimming can be and she did anything she could to find any type of water to play in.

Finally finding water at Diablo Lake!


Nick and I rode these bikes all around the campsite
