This is a picture of me at almost 28 weeks and the day of our anniversary.
For our anniversary we went to Portland City Grill which is where we had our first date! We love it when we save enough to go there. The sushi is amazing! I was sad that I was limited to just the roles with smoked salmon but it was still good. They are super cute and had a table with a card signed by the staff that said happy anniversary and then gave us a delicious dessert on the house. The restaurant is on the 3oth floor of the US Bank building in Portland and it has amazing views. Its a special place for us and we love to go.
News years was a blast this year. We went up to visit Ben's sister and her fiance in Tacoma Washington. They recently moved into a cute place that I LOVE. It had original hard wood floors and glass door knobs. It really made us want to move again... I go through the urge to move about once a month and I quickly hopped onto craigslist to see what was available. On the way home, Ben and I switched back into logical mode and since a move to a house would be at least $250 more a month we decided to add that extra amount to our savings account every month and see how well we handle the budget cuts to our extra spending. If we really want it then we will cut some things out and be extra thrifty! We decided to revisit the moving idea in a couple months after we see how we do.
Ben has been obsessed with the idea of a Nerf gun war ever since he heard the idea from my older brother Isaac and his wife. Her family has one every year during Christmas. So I picked him up a Nerf gun for Christmas and we made plans to make it a New Years tradition. It goes something similar to this but with Nerf guns instead of knives and no pills.
We actually watched this clip before and did the jammie shuffle. Well... Rachel and I did. Then we turned off the lights and turned on some ambient war sounds. It was a blast! Of course we had to stock up on ammo and guns so we made a trip to Target and spent waaayyy too much on Nerf guns. So much for trying to limit our extra spending :) Actually this was before we decided that so I guess Ben is off the hook.
We couldn't find glow stick necklaces so we made our own.
Josh was self named the Mole.
