Greatest Comic Ever

I saw this and immediatly knew it was amazing. For those of you who have ever raised cats, kittens...this one's for you.

Second (short) wave

So I got a few more photos in from my cousin Sara. As these come in I'll post them. Feel free to email this link to anyone who you think should see them, since I didn't email the photos out. Anyways, thanks again all for coming.

So, I'm getting used to driving Jed's car since mine has been confiscated in order to carry all the manhood that is headed for a bachelor party. Anyways, I'm learning that honda's are the easiest damn things to drive. I mean honestly! I actually like them now. Oh and since the wonderful mechanics fixed the door on Jed's car after it was broken into the car no longer snaps your finger when you open it. Which I also love and so do my fingers.

Today I think I'm going to hit Freddy's and get one of those inflatable kiddie pools. It's supposed to hit 95 this weekend. Since we're having girls weekend I thought we could all sit around the pool, drink margaritas, frufru wine and be girly :) I can't wait. Anyways, enjoy the photos!

She's still raising kids after all of these years :)

I think one of them bit him and he decided to fight back

Graduation (the first wave)

WOOOHOOO!! I'm Graduated and SO IN DEBT YEAY!! haha We'll I'm almost graduated. I have one class left but this is damn close enough!! It was amazing. Simply amazing. I can't believe it came and went so fast! It's like a wedding or something else enormous. The time just FLEEEEW by. Actual graduation was a total out of body experience. It was just like "Really? Sure? I'm actually here????"

Friday was super fun. Jed's family, Sarah and us all went out to dinner and continued the celebration well into the night with many many bottles of wine :) As one should celebrate college graduation right :) Katy and Virginia gave me simply the most beautiful jewelry and I was so touched. Katy made me cry when I read her card too. It was super cute and I love them :)

Saturday was such a blurr. The graduates waited outside at 8:30 am. However, Jed had to come back because apparently you weren't allowed to bring your purse?!?! Hello! That should have been in the pre-emails. Do they know how many girls were graduating? Then I left my bagel in my purse so I was STARVING by the time it ended at 12:30. My parents said since I decorated my cap you could totally tell who I was :) Plus you couldn't see me very well from the ground so I got some pics on the big screen!

After graduation it was the Pikes Place Market, Pacific Science center and then to Kells!! It was awesome! I got to eat the best food, surrounded by family, drink Guinness with my dad in my favorite pub. Oh I looooved it. The next day we all toured my house, went to Bainbridge Island (which is the most expensive island ever! Geeeeze!) and had more fun. The goodbyes were said and I'm still smiling over the memories. It was truly an amazing vacation.

Thank you to all who made it possible, made me smile and made my weekend. I love you :)

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies whithin us :)

Finally the Amazing Camping Trip!

Okay so I know it took forever and a day to get all of the photos up. We went camping the weekend of memorial day. Simply put it was A-MAZ-ING! First of all we drove like three hours to Tri-Cities. The next morning we get up, get ready and get super excited about going. We clean the boat and drive off into the sunny day. We drove to about three different camping sites...all booked beyond all reason. Finally we find one that has overflow camping. We were asking where this was and the manager said, and I quote "see that green patch of grass? Now see the next on? Now see that brown patch of grass? That's the overflow camping. You all enjoy"...was he serious? As we pulled up to the sign we realized he was. Oh well, we were determined to make the most of it. So we loaded the boat into the water. We were all very excited to go boating. I even rented a wet suit to try wakeboarding. We started to boat...and the alarm goes off....so we try again. Same result. Finally after about an hour of investigating we've got nothin'. We decide that It's better not to chance it even though the boat ran. We have lunch and decide to map out any other possible camp sites. Finally we learn that there is an unmanaged camping spot not too far away. So we head out. After taking only a few wrong turns and adding about 30 minutes to our drive we find it. It was PERFECT!!! We camped, we ate, we drank, we got to shoot guns, we fished. Oh it was perfect. Everyone got sun and loved the whole weekend. I added all of the photos. Sorry there are a butt-ton of them. Enjoy! Man I love camping!!!

Captin Jiggles about to drive the boat.

Our Camping site! It had a private beach, camping space and a pre-made fire pit!!

These clouds opened up the first night. We all got soaked...and found out that you can put a rainfly on a tent upside down. That's stupid if you ask me.

The most beautiful sunset I've seen.

Marshmellows over an open flame makes me very happy.

It's like grease the pig...but with an ungreased Jiggles....

She was tired after playing chase. Jiggles couldn't take the heat :)

We had a wrist rocket competition. So Much Fun!! I fished :)

Jiggles and Jed. They're so serious!

Say Cheese!!

I caught the only fish the whole weekend! He went back, but it made my whole weekend!!

The view from our campsite! So amazing!

Possibly our Christmas card photo next year :)

I call this the "love tree"

I take photos when I'm bored :)

Jed and Jiggles. They love eachother :)

Apparently this is how they transport porter potties...who knew?

Jed made the BEST bugers I've EVER had. Mmmmm

We saved this toad/frog from the fire.

Jiggles was dead after the weekend. Too much fun for one little pooch.
