criminals are jerks.

while we were in vancouver, b.c., someone got into our car and went through the glove compartment and center console. s/he only got about 50 cents from the ashtray since we don't keep anything valuable in the car. what really made me mad was that then the jerk, who was smoking, so now our car smells, extinguished his/her cigarette on our light tan center console!! it cleaned up most of the way, but we will always have a small charred reminder.

by the way, more on our vancouver trip coming soon. it was great!

guess what?!?!?!?!?!



WE FOUND OUR LOST HONEYMOON PICTURES!!!!!

well, we didn't really lose them, our ipod, where we stored them while we were on the trip, decided not to let us take them off. they have been there for 2 years and we have had no access.

more to come.

goodbye, secret passageway

the city of renton is making "progress." brian and i are excited for most of it, except of course, the demise of the dinner train and of our secret passageway. this tunnel has been the main thing that prevents our little neighborhood from having a bustling arterial. it is only wide enough for one car, and you can only go into it from certain directions.

a few weeks ago there was a sign put up saying that it would be closed for construction starting august 1. we learned that it was to be taken out and replaced with a two-lane tunnel. while this shouldn't directly impact the number of cars passing our house, we do expect the streets surrounding us to become much noisier. much to my dismay, they started construction before i got a chance to take proper pictures of our historical, 5 cattle wide tunnel. (its original description).

we'll miss it.

brian took me on the train for my birthday! he started off the evening by giving me a HUGE boquet. then we meandered over to the train ans sat down. we took pictures of our car, yard, and chimmney from our seat on the train, had delicious food and a wonderful time. brian even had given them a smaller arrangement of flowers for our table!
