Jake's company party was Friday night and I look forward to it every year. I especially anticipated it this year because Lori and Marlin were coming up for the weekend to watch the kids, allowing Jake and I to stay two nights in Downtown Seattle.
I bought a pretty party dress for Friday night, complete with shoes and jewelry to match. I honestly could not tell you the last time I wore a dress (or nylons)... it's literally been years! I actually didn't even own one that would fit me anymore since I lost so much weight after Adrian was born. Too bad I didn't take a picture of myself all dressed up. It was such a treat to feel grown up and girly.
The party was fun. I met the knew guy in his department and his wife Kim. They have two boys 6 months older then Allie and Adrian. We got along really well and I hope we can get our kids together later for a play date. Otherwise, the party was a lot of small talk, eating really good appetizers and drinking some really good wine I forgot to get the name of.
We had such a great time all day Saturday walking around Seattle and were really lucky to have such great weather for it. I think we probably walked at least 5 miles which was nice, and did almost nothing. We visited the Seattle Library which I'd never been to (crazy building!), ate at a Mexican restaurant overlooking Harbour Steps and did a little shopping. Every few hours we would go back to the hotel we were staying at so Jake could recuperate (he wasn't feeling well) so I even got in some good reading time.
Then we went to a friends housewarming party for a couple hours. It was nice to see everyone, but I was honestly tired of small talk after Jake's company party. I was happy to see the kids Sunday about noon when we got home. I loved having time for Jake and I but really missed them a lot too! I think Adrian even grew a bit.

Creepy alley we walked through with a few scary people doing drugs.
Crazy but cool fencing. I think it's supposed to be flowers.
My first Mexican meal (my very favorite food) since I was diabetic while pregnant with Adrian.

YOU LOOK GREAT! Could you please send over the extra enchilada I saw on Jake's plate, there are people starving for any kind of Mexican food in India. :)
