~Mosaic Monday and my busy weekend!~

Happy Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?

Ours was great!

Busy as it was, we also had some relaxing time to re-coup . . .

 And dream about sunny weather . . .

Oh I can't hardly wait for some sunshine and warmth!

Anywho our weekend:

*Watched several movies (Wallstreet Never Sleeps, Inception)*

*Girl's Breakfast!*

(Met with 6 of my girls Sat morning for some good old catching up and chatting)

*Matinee with the hubby to see "The Rite"*

(kinda freaky!)

*Happy Hour with the hubby at Lot No. 3*

The food and drinks were good! AND we actually ended up getting all of our food FREE! Yup we saved like $40 b/c we were patient while it took an hour to get our food.  Funny thing was . . . we didn't even notice! Good drinks, and great discussions and the time flew by.  But hey I'll take free food, thanks!

*Church*

Was soooo good.  So I'll admit, we're not the best at going on a regular basis.  BUT it's funny b/c I feel like when I do go, it's just what I need to hear.

*Remodel project with the In-Laws*

We're helping the in-laws remodel and spruce up their house.  Many trips to Home Depot, and discussions on what to do.  I feel like I'm a host on HGTV! Will post pics of our many projects, and we are excited to be creative and help!

Can't wait to paint this brick, tile the bench, and rip out the gold and get a new fireplace screen, etc.

*Finished Jane Eyre*

Yup finished my book, now on to the next classic! Looooove how classics are FREE on the Kindle!!!

*Made and shipped recent orders from Etsy shop*

*Made some fun items for my Valentine's Swap, so many ladies participating this will be fun! My very first blog swap, and many more to come!!!*

Now it's your turn to share your weekend!

Hope you all have a great start to your week!

~Weekend Fun Extravaganza~

WOW!!!

That's all I gotta say.

What a fun, eventful, SUNNY weekend!

This post will be full of photos galore!!!

***More substinence later this week lol***

~Friday~

*Went to this new restaurant in Bellevue called

Earls

with the hubby for our date night!

We arrived with the door opened to us (aww), and a complimentary glass of champagne (yum yum!) while we waited for a table for about 10 mins

(not bad)

I order spicy chicken tacos and a margarita

Andy ordered a club sandwhich and a beer

Food: decent but over-priced like many places here in Bellevue.

Service: Great, they kept checking in on us every couple minutes. Bonus points for complimenting me on my hair:-)

BUT 

I felt kinda like we were in a club?! The waitresses all had on short skirts and boob white tops. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those "hater" girls

If you got it flaunt it right? ;-)

Just don't flirt with my hubby the whole time and not even look at me, k?  Just saying:-) ha ha

Overall we had a great date night. Love it.

~Saturday~

*Gym- ran another 3 miles holler!

*Went with the fam (hubby, 2 dogs) to one of our favorite places: Discovery Park

The weather was like 60 and sunny all weekend so we had to enjoy it right?! LOVELY views up above Puget Sound, and the hike was nice exercise for us all:-)

We took MANY pics . . . here are a few:-)

Then off to the In-laws for pastries from Bakery Neavou (AMAZING! In West Seattle . . . seriously they are to die for)

Then home to our hammock in the sun for some reading/cuddling time.

Finally to finish our day . . . off to our FAVE place, George and the Dragon.  This super fun English Pub in Seattle.  We're HUGE English Soccer (futbol) fans and have been going here since we first met;-) Awwww. Ha ha.

Mmmm Strongbow (cider, our fave.  If you haven't tried it, DO!)

~SUNDAY~

*Gym again (on a roll!)

*A few hours of gardening/yard work

(I hate when I start this b/c then all I think about is everything I need to do! Yikes . . . having a decent yard is hard work lemme tell ya.  Fun but time-consuming.

*Doubles Tennis match with our friend Chris and his girl.  All I can sayis we had a blast, a great workout and lots'a laughs.  We haven't played on a team yet and my hubby is a ball hog lol.  We came SOoooo close but lost ;-(

~MONDAY~

Vancouver!!!

Ummmm yeah how cool is it that the 2010 Winter Olympics are like 3 hours away?!  I know what you're thinking, and no we didn't make it to any games:-( BUT we hung out, ate, went to Stanley Park, shopped on Robson Street, and saw the whole town decked out in red and white!

So glad Andy took the day off, thanks sweets!!!

Here's a crazy amount of photos, sorry!

The Canadians are so proud, GO CANADA!!!

The torch is above his head hee hee

I think Curling is purdy cool:-)

Mmmmm Crepes!!!

Shopping at Zara:-) (Pssst . . . that's my car no worries my booty's not scratching anyone's car)

AND that concludes our "us only" weekend
