Crazy Week

Tried a couple of times yesterday to post this so it would be "on time" for Sunday, but my phone wasn't cooperating. I go the title to save but nothing else....wouldn't let me type.


It was kind of a crazy week, starting with a major fender bender for me. This is what my Honda looked like after the crash and this is what their Volvo looked like. Both are 2001 vehicles...

Wednesday my aunt Verena dropped into town unexpectedly. She called me and we decided to meet for lunch. Then we shopped for a bit and spent most of Thursday together also. It was nice to hang out and have girl time...I even introduced her to Magdalena's Creperie in Fairhaven. Yummy!

Friday was my hubby's birthday and the plan was to spend it with some friends at the Silver Reef Casino, having a nice dinner. If you've never eaten at the Steakhouse there it is worth the trip. Yummy!

So in preparation Grace & I headed into town to get our hair done. A trim & some cute curls for Grace and a color, cut & style for Mom. Felt so much better afterward. Then we stopped in at a cute Cupcake place downtown to check it out. Grace had a Red Velvet and I tried a Vanilla Coconut cupcake. Very nice. Next up was the YMCA for some volleyball and then off to home to get packed up for our night out. We had a great fancy dinner, steaks, prawns, lobster all around and lots of good wine & desserts to go along with that. Then some of us headed to bed while others decided to give Lady Luck a spin. I had tried my hand at Craps once before, with the help of a friend. This time my buddies Beka & her hubby Simon helped out. After about an hour I had tripled my money and decided to call it a night. What a fun way to finance our new stroller. LOL

Saturday was spent recuperating after a late night. We had a nice breakfast at Diamond Jim's and even ran into a friend from volleyball who has recently moved out of town. Naps were in order all around. Sunday we watched Football and lazed around a bit more...all in all a successful week.

Early Morning Happenings...

if you read the local paper The Bellingham Herald, you would've heard about us this morning. Well, technically there was no mention that this happened in our front yard, but that's where the whole thing took place.

I got up after my alarm went off around 6 AM to get ready for my 7 AM Boot camp class at the gym. When I walked to the bathroom I saw someone parked in front of our driveway gate who's car I did not recognize. No biggie, it's happened before, someone pulls over to talk on the cell phone or to take some picture of the eagles in the trees by the river behind our house... But this time it was a little different. Upon closer investigation I found this in our front yard:

What the heck????
I guess someone was driving a bit too fast, or was asleep at the wheel, cause this darn truck just slid right off the road, into the field in front of our house. Luckily no one was hurt. Just imagine if this guy would've missed the corner by a few less feet, he would've ended up taking out our little rental house where Ryan was sleeping. Pretty scary!

When I got home from work at around 5 PM this is what I found:

They are just finished unloading all the lumber that was in the back and have some huge tow trucks trying to pull it out of the field. Looks like it's back on it's wheels now and they are trying to load it onto a trailer.
