I just wanted to let you all know that Chad's surgery went fine. All of the nurses just kept saying that he did so well, and Chad (still a bit drozy and out if it) kept replying by saying how hard he tried. I think the after affects of the anesthesia just made him very tired and his humor a little odd, but mostly he was himself. I was a bit disappointed because I thought he was going to be all loony, but he wasn't and therefore I have no funny stories about the postop.
I'm so happy to have a healthy husband, and that we had the insurance coverage to be able to get the operation, and Chad, taken care of. He will still be in a lot of pain for the next couple of weeks, so your thoughts and prayers are still appreciated.
We love you all!

The Aurora Bridge Troll
Chad and I have heard about this Troll under the Aurora Bridge but still hadn't seen it since we moved up here... so we decided to go on a little adventure. I wanted to look online to see where this was (because Aurora Avenue is a long, main road in Seattle and has many bridges) but Chad just wanted to go and find it, and it was actually pretty fun checking under all of these bridges.
Bridge #1: No troll.
Bridge #2: As you can see, no troll but a nice bit of artwork.
Bridge #3: We started to get excited when as we were coming down the pedestrian walkway we saw a few people standing around with cameras :)
Meet Seattle's Troll.
We had a lot of fun finding the Troll, and then climbing all over him.

The end of summer 2009
This is a bit late to be posting these but I guess later is better than never!
We'd been wanting to go camping just us two all summer but never got the chance... or I guess we just never put the thought or effort into it before it was too late. So when the neighboring Blasers went to California Chad asked if we could sleep out on the trampoline and said that it could kind of make up for the lack of camping. I said ok (trying to be brave but I was a little terrified of the idea). We watched a movie and I started to feel more comfortable, but Chad was the one who wanted to head inside. Did you all catch that? CHAD was the one that asked ME if we could go inside. That's right. I'm extremely brave/reckless :)
... I'm sure Chad would want me to tell you all that it was because of mosquitoes and not because he was scared.
That weekend we proceeded to act like children. We had to drop by a drug store to get some allergy medicine and saw this paddle ball game on sale so we got it and it was GAME ON! We put our swimsuits on to try and soak up any last bits of sun that we could for the summer (before the 9 months were the sun goes into hiding). It was so much fun... I wish I could've gotten a picture of us both playing... but it's a bit difficult when it's just the two of us. Chad also refused to be photographed.
We also got this little Fun Ferret. We had seen a demonstration of it (or one like it) in the Malls last year for Christmas time and hoped that we could maybe have some fun with it and our nieces and nephews. It turned out to be REALLY lame. :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!
To my mother dearest...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Haha, these are some of my favorite pictures of mom and I. We took them with the original intent of teaching her how to keep her eyes open while being photographed... and then things got a little crazy :)I love you mom. I hope you realize just what a wonderful mother you are. You are truly a blessing to everyone around you. You have taught me so much and I could never fully express just how much you mean to me. I love you, and I miss you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY -- and I'll see you soon :)
