Playing House

Over Christmas break we were able to play house and fully embrace our "uncle, aunt" roles. The trip ended up being pretty affordable as the kids entertained us most of the time. However, the trip made us come to the realization that when we do have kids, we're going to have some stiff competition, considering the fact that our nephews and niece are pretty much the cutest kids ever!

For Christmas, we received baby clothes from Ryan's parents. I think they might be trying to tell us something. But as much fun as we had with our nephew's and niece, I think the trip made us realize one very important thing...parenthood can WAIT! (Sorry mom and dad.)

The Gooey...

One of our favorite things to do in Washington is visit the restaurant, "Dockside" at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. The restaurant has huge ice cream sundae's called "Gooey's." Now in the past, me and Ryan have always shared one of these over-sized deserts. However, this time we decided to take on the challenge of eating one on our own. I felt pretty confident about halfway through the sundae, but soon after I began to feel the wrath of "The Gooey." I honestly tried my best but despite my effort, I was unable to finish the last 8 bites or so. In my defense, I'm sure that I could've finished the rest if I pushed myself even more, but I feared that I wouldn't make it to the bathroom in time if I tried. So today I am sad to admit that I failed the Gooey challenge while Ryan passed with flying colors. While finishing a Gooey may not be the best new years resolution, it sure was a great way to kick of the new year! Then again, there's always next time...

Battle in Seattle


This year we cherished our Christmas break as it was our last official holiday break as college students. Vacations have become highly valued as graduation approaches and we face the reality that week-long vacations will be much more of a rare occurrence in the future. Now if you don't know this already, Ryan is a die-hard Gonzaga basketball fan. However, as much as he loves their basketball team, he's never had the opportunity to go to one of their games. As a result, for Christmas his family got us and all of his siblings tickets to a basketball tournament in Seattle where Gonzaga was playing. So this last Saturday we got up early and flew over to Seattle to spend the day in the city and attend the game. Although we didn't get to spend a ton of time in the city, we did get to go down to the famous fish market, Pike's Place Market. A little later in the day we attended the game and Ryan finally got to see his team in action. To Ryan's disappointment, Gonzaga didn't win the game but we had a great time visiting the city and getting to spend time with his siblings.

Family Pictures

Since all of Ryan's family was home for Christmas this year, his family decided to take family photos. Although I'm not a huge fan of pictures, I enjoyed this particular photo session as it allowed us to get our own family pictures out of the way at the same time. Figuring that we will be spending every other Christmas with each others families and our families will probably be taking pictures each time we get together, it looks as though the arrangement of family pictures will always be taken care of for us. Here's hoping!
