The Big One

Matt & I are celebrating our 10th year of marriage. In fact, this day 10 years ago was our big wedding. Cheers, babe! On 10 years, 4 kids, & 1 spectacular life spent together.

2 weeks ago we got away for a special anniversary trip to Seattle & the surrounding area. It would be a monster post, so this is the 1st edition.

Shopping in the University District. Loved this sign, who carries a cat in a purse?

Yum! Pomegranate frozen yogurt. Sweets with my sweet.

A lot of funky art around this part of the city. I dreamed up another life where Matt & I got to go to college together. He said we'll do that after the boys are grown- yay!

Not all fun and games, littering is a serious issue 'round these parts!

Kind of a random thing to do but Matt & I wanted to take the opportunity to see one of our favorite pastors in the flesh. Mark Driscoll heads up Mars Hill, he is pretty much da bomb. We felt like he really echoed our major goals for our family for the year. Very inspiring.

Greek food experience. When we arrived on Saturday evening the Seafair parade was in full swing. Pirates everywhere. Awesome. We worried everything would be maxed out but we found a great Mediterranean place along the parade route. We enjoyed lamb dishes & the best plate of hummus ever!

Good food makes everyone so happy.

Of course we wandered downtown to the market, I will share more soon.

One more, this is how they get it done in Seattle. Matt would look good on horseback, don't you think?
