Beautiful Day

Yesterday was Angie and Steve's Wedding and it was an absolutely perfect day. It started out with a trip to the Market for fresh flowers and we found the most wonderful orange and red bouquets for the tables. The weather was also great, blue sky and sun, a lucky break in Seattle to be sure. The ceremony was at her Dad's in Arlington and it was a beautiful simple ceremony in a tent on the basketball court :) After that it was time to eat some food, sit in the sun, cut the cake and sign the marriage certificate to make it legal! Hey we were surrounded by lawyers so that shouldn't be hard right? Here is a pic. of Angie and Steve putting up with all of us wanting to take pictures of them on this great day!

Angie, Courtney and I had a moment of remembering that we are approaching our 10 year anniversary of meeting at the University of Washington, amazing!

After the ceremony and reception it was off to bowling! That's right, they had rented out 6 lanes at a tiny bowling alley in the next town over and so it was off to bowling, nice outfits and all. It was a total blast, everyone joined in the fun and it was a perfect ending to a perfect day. Here are the girls in our bowling shoes and colorful "not socks" provided by the bride!
After bowling Angie & Steve, Court & Sean, Jannine & Andy and I headed to the Tulalip Casino. They had a room there for the night, but first we all grabbed dinner at the buffet and then did a little gambling. We all came out either even or ahead so it was a fun time. I took this pic. of Angie and Steve outside of the casino, notice the matching Hawkeye clothes, Steve's dream :)

Now my friends are off to Greece for their Honeymoon! I wish them all the best on this new adventure and all the happiness in the world!

Pedicure!

What better way to end the day than with a pedicure and thai food! Today was another great lazy day, there is nothing better sometimes than staying in PJ's till the afternoon and just running chores in sweats and flip flops. So this afternoon during a period of sitting around Angie decided that today would be a great day for pedicures! My first one actually. She was sweet enough to get me a gift certificate for a pedicure for my birthday and who would have thought I would be using it this soon. So at 6 we headed down to the little nail place in downtown Edmonds. We sat in big overstuffed chairs and chatted while my feet were soaked, clipped, buffed, puffed and painted! And yes Ang, I am now hooked on it after only one time. Especially with cute flowers on toes :)

After that we headed over to Thai Cottage for some yummy thai food to finish off a great lazy Sunday in Seattle!
