10 years!

Matt and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary on Thursday (April 7th) and it was a beautiful day. It was actually 11 years ago today (April 9th) that Matt took me to Palouse Falls and proposed. We had not been back since that day so we thought it would be a special place to share our day together. The river and falls were roaring and a spectacular sight!

Then....


Now....







In order to get to the spot where Matt proposed, we have to walk into the bowl area (top right) and along the upper ridge. Then we climb down to the lower ridge and the little hole in the wall (lower left hand side). I do know that after 11 years, I was a little more timid in my hiking/climbing adventure, but we were safe and it was an incredible day. Matt and I feel so blessed to be celebrating our life together!

Spring Break in Seattle

Andrew turned 7 on Sunday, April 3rd! How is that possible? We decided we would celebrate and get out of town for a couple of days. Though Seattle was rainy, we still managed to walk everywhere and have a great time. It is a fun place to visit and gives you a true lesson in humanity and culture.

Sunday...Andrew's Birthday! A morning of travel, a stop at the Lego store, lunch and birthday sundae at Red Robin, Space Needle and first ride on monorail for the kids. Uncle Hans even traveled down from Bellingham to spend the afternoon with us.










Monday....Started the day off at Top Pot Doughnuts with Chad, Suzie, Jacob and Nick, walked down to Pike Street and then to the Seattle Aquarium where we met Baltzells and Humphreys, walked back to the Camlin in the rain and had dinner up in Everett at the Humphreys. Thank you everyone for a fun day!







Tuesday...Museum of Flight. What a spectacular place, probably our favorite Seattle attraction that we visited!
