scenes from our weekend


We spent a beautiful weekend in Coeur d'Alene basking in the sun. We also threw a surprise birthday party for my grandma that went off without a hitch! And, had a lovely Mother's Day hanging out by the river. How was your weekend!?








Have you ever played Kuube? It's a Swedish lawn game that is awesome! Though I really have no idea how to explain it...so you're going to have to resort to google.







 The drive home...crossing the Columbia River.

video voyagism: mongolia

In keeping with the theme of Mongolia, I came across this awesome couple's super short edit of them taking Polaroid's for the locals (it is super sweet and short, so watch it!). To say that I am jealous is an understatement!

Anyways, this is it for posts this week...sorry it was on the light side! But, Brian and I are road-tripping down to Oregon's Willamette Valley for some amazing food and wine. We are also planning on hitting the coast and spending a day wandering around Portland! I am so excited for a little change of scenery!

Happy Easter you all and hope you have a great weekend!

seattle sessions number 3



Sorry for the belated weekend post...I started watching The Forsyte Saga last night in an attempt to cure my longing for Downton Abbey.  Speaking of TV shows, have you watched Homeland yet!? I know there was a bunch of buzz about the TV show during the Emmys (because it literally won everything), but it is totally worth watching!  The show is suspenseful and it is hard to stop from watching the whole season in a sitting. The weird thing is, we started watching Homeland a couple of weeks ago and the main red head actor is also the protagonist in The Forsyte Saga (which is also worth watching if you love Downton Abbey and all things Masterpiece Theater).

Ok enough about TV shows! Here is our weekend around town via my iphone:

The popsicle stick is not the only weird thing about the building that holds my new job. The building was designed to represent batman...it has two black peaks and looks straight out of gotham city!
 

Friday was uneventful and we made up for that on Saturday. I finally tried the much talked about sammies at the Other Coast Cafe and a new San Pellegrino flavor, pommelo. 







































We also crashed a little kid birthday party (we know him) and it was awesome. They had confetti
filled eggs that you could smash on people!

We finished Saturday with a drink at Essex, the bar situated right next to the great pizza restaurant, Delancey. Both are run by Molly Wizenberg and her husband, the bloggers behind Orangette
Sunday it was a southern breakfast with friends at Bitterroot and then we wandered down to the Ballard Pizza Company for the "Toss like a Boss" competition. They brought in Pizza chefs from around Seattle who competed in categories like thickness, width, and generally tossing abilities. It was awesome, there were score cards and all you can eat free pizza.

a guide to the norwegian jade


Part of the Norwegian Cruise Line, the NCL Jade is a sight to behold. Designated ‘jewel class’, you’ll understand why if you embark on one of the many Mediterranean Norwegian Cruises aboard this majestic vessel. Holding over 2400 passengers, it’s certainly not a small ship, but with the contemporary design and plenty of room, there’s little chance of feeling crowded.

Destinations include ports scattered around the Med, throughout the year, including Egypt, Italy, Croatia and the Holy Land. With a firsthand view of the spectacular coastlines, you will feel on top of the world from the safety of the NCL Jade. Whether you decide to head for Italy, Greece and Turkey during the spring and winter months, or you decide to sail from Venice to the Greek Isles during the height of summer, you can be sure of an unforgettable experience.

With two nightclubs, award winning restaurants and a casino, you your evenings are well and truly covered, while by day, you can sample the swimming pools on board as well as the numerous activities that the ship offers on and below deck.

As a child friendly ship, the NCL Jade is a perfect ship for families opting for Norwegian Cruises. You could take a seat in the enormous Stardust Theatre or try your hand at the Nintendo Wii on a two-storey screen. Teen discos are available during the cruise, to keep the tweens happy during the early evening, while for the grownups, there are plenty of cocktails and alcohol to be sampled in the plethora of bars on board.

Whatever your budget – whether you opt for the affordable cabins or the exuberant suites, there is bound to be something of interest on board the NCL Jade. With a whole host of Mediterranean ports to visit, on a range of different itineraries, you can be sure of a cruise to remember.

have a wonderful weekend

I'm designing our friend's save the dates and I couldn't help but share one of their gorgeous photos that Brian shot while we were all in Chelan.  
What are you all up to this weekend? Besides designing save the dates, i'm hoping to give my "travels" section (to the right) a much needed update!
Here are a few wonderful links for your weekend

Last Day in Playa

After the wedding festivities were over, we easily settled into a routine of doing absolutely nothing.  We walked around, found the best places to eat, laid in the sand, swam, and played countless rounds of pickle ball (which I learned that I am terrible at!). Here are some of the last remaining photos from our time in Playa del Carmen...

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday you all! We have another bachelorette party this weekend...mine!  Almost all of my girlfriends are making the trip from Seattle (and L.A.) to Coeur d'Alene and I am super excited to see them all! We are going to get our cowgirl on at a country bar on Friday and then Saturday, we are hanging on the lake and then it's bachelorette party time...don't worry we are going to border on "classy."

Bon Voyage Mr. Chace!

Today my favorite man takes off for Alaska to go commercial fishing. He stays up outside the towns of Ketchikan and Craig (still not sure where those are at), fishing for salmon.  When I first met Brian, I was convinced that what he does was straight out of "the deadliest catch," but rest assured, it is a lot more mellow than the TV show (those guys are fishing in the dead of winter in the Bering Sea).  One of the only benefits of our little summer separation is the fresh and smoked salmon Brian will be sending home.  It's a good thing that I love fish, because i'm pretty sure that will be all we eat for the next year! 

Yesterday was the last time will see each other for ten weeks, while he and four other crew members fish aboard the Ariel! I'm getting pretty nervous about it and know I will probably miss him more than I can stand. And as much as I love summer, I can't wait for it to be September. He gets back around Labor Day weekend, and then a week later we take off for Mexico to get married! It will be a hard summer for him to be gone, but I am going to have to really preoccupy myself with blogging and wedding planning!

I would love to hear about your long-distance relationship tips!  

Blogging is already such a great outlet and I am thankful for all the amazing people I have met through it! All of you have such fantastic blogs!
 If you have a blog, or tip, leave me your name and blog address, I would be thrilled to meet new blogger friends and have more blogs to keep me company for the summer!

Happy Friday


What do you all have planned for the weekend? I see actual sunshine today so i'm praying june gloom (juneuary) is over! Anyway, on Saturday we are going to walk down to the Solstice Parade in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle.  It is basically a very crazy and very strange hippie/ artist/ nudist parade in celebration of the summer solstice, i'll post some photos next week.  On a sad note, it's my last weekend with my salty fisherman, so i've got to squeeze in a date for us amidst packing up our apartment, so wish us luck... Hope you all have a great weekend!

Photo Friday


Happy Friday you all. This week seemed to fly by, which is always a good thing (unless you are on vacation). What do you have planned this weekend? We have a crew bbq to go to for Brian, who sadly leaves in two weeks :(. He's a salty fisherman and heads to Alaska to work on a commercial boat catching salmon, so now the countdown is on until he leaves. I feel like we need to do a bunch of speed dates to make up for all the time we will be apart. Any good date ideas?


Here's some links to love for your weekend...

Happy Friday you all! Any exciting plans for the weekend and Cinco de Mayo?
 I've finally finished gathering addresses and labeling my save the dates (literally took me hours!) so I am excited to just relax this weekend and possible run away from my computer. 

Anyway, i've been busy this week, so not a lot is on my radar, but here are a few links for your weekend:

Filmography #8

A week or so ago I finally developed film from my Holga camera...Here is the result:
Some of the first pictures are from two years ago when we sailed to the San Juan Islands and then the rest are a hodgepodge of times and places.
*I realized that I need to tilt the camera down because I have a lot of half-head shots!
