The "Best Man"






We had a fun wedding to attend a few weeks ago. Jordan (Derek's best friend for the past 15 years) and Brittney (his beautiful bride) were married at Marine Park on Sept. 12. Derek was the best man, he looked so handsome in his tux and did great.

Dinner in Maui





<















We all flew to Maui for dinner the other night and had a fabulous time. You probably noticed the palm trees are missing in the pictures, you're correct, it's NOT Maui, the warm summer night felt like Maui, we had a Maui sunset, the dinner tasted like "Kimos" in Maui, but instead we drove to Birch Bay and had a lovely dinner at my good friend Janelle's beach house.
She is a wonderful hostess, her home/patio was inviting, and music had everyone dancing. Once again, I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful place in the world and to enjoy it with friends.
Travel tip - Janelle rents out her beach home during the off season in Birch Bay - it is an awesome home/patio and you can see the view! www.vrbo.com/162809

Sit Back and Enjoy!





Sometimes our family gets so busy we forget to sit back and enjoy the beauty of summer in our own backyard. Sunday afternoon is a great time to relax. Our patio/yard is in full bloom and it's time to enjoy the moment. Movie night on the patio last night was great too, the temperature was perfect.

Summer Adventures






A few weeks ago we went ocean kayaking along Chuckanut in Bellingham. I had a great day with Jeff, Wyatt, and Alex. I was amazed by the beautiful beaches and scenery, and it included a yummy lunch and a good workout. The 2 foot swells were just like a roller coaster at Disneyland (splash mountain that is!).
