Back in Seattle

Well, I am back in Seattle after a fun time back home. Not much has changed since getting back. Just going back to work and hanging out with Tyler. Tyler made a really good meal of corned beef and hash for me on friday night. It was so good! We then went to Gameworks downtown and played some old school games like pacman, frogger, basketball, and more. We didn't get to play too long because of a special event for middle schoolers that night. We are definitely planning on going back. That's about it for now.

Weekend Fun

We headed off to church this morning. Only about a 1/2 hour late!! Whoops! Nick and I got to see a bunch of our old friends. The remainder of our day will be spent playing nintendo wii and sleeping.
Yesterday we headed to Sears to get Benny's 1 year old birthday pic taken. He was dressed up as Santa, a birthday outfit and a nice sweater outfit. We then trucked over to the mall and just went shopping for some socks. Yeah right. I ended up buying a new pair of brown heels and my sister got a black pair of heels. I also got some socks. Anyway, afterwards we were supposed to head over to some mexican's house who invited us over to dinner and we get over there and nobody's home except all the men. Apparently, they had all went to the mall. My mom was feeling very frustrated with her friend. So, we headed home and mom made some sloppy joe's and mashed potatoes and green beans. It was super delicious!! Well, it all turned out in the end.
