Full weekend

G'day all,
This weekend was a great weekend full of family, friends and rain.
Friday night Jillian and had dinner over at her parents house. Jillian hungabout there for a while and I went home to work a bit. Saturday was the grandest day.
We went to the Seattle Sounders professional soccer game curtoisy of our grind Charlie. So Jillian and I got to watch the game from great seats with two great friends Charlie and Trevor.


a coworker of mine gave me this star wars keychain so I took a picture of it as if it was on the feild. It is the only photo I have of the game. Our Team Lost but it was a great time. We walked around the city with Trevor and Charlie for a while then I went home to have a nap and Jillian went with Charlie to see Hillary(Jillian's great friend Charlie's girlfriend) play lacrosse. They only got to watch a bit cause it was raining so hard they had to leave.
Later that night Jillian and I took her mother and father out to a delicious dinner at a place called "Cafe Juanita" the Chef there is really really good and is nationally recognized. We had a great time. After dinner which ended around 11 big poppa(jillian's dad)and I headed into the city to go to a siff(Seattle independent film festival is the most attended film festival in northen America) movie that started at midnight. The movies great if you get a chance it is called "Tucker & Dale Vs evil" it is so funny. The main actor and director was there and did a bit of q&a at 2 in the morning. Quite a treat.




Sunday I slept in Jillian was productive as usual. After I woke Jillian and ran some errands then we chilled out on the couch til the Sunday dinner.
All in all a great week end.
Much love

Fun times, good news and a bright future ahead

As most of you know Jillian and I have been given a great opportunity and that opportunity comes in the form of a new house. After 10 months of many ups and downs of this short sale we finally took ownership not possession though, we don't get to move in until the July. Due to the owner needing to stay there to figure out their next accommodations. Other than that little snafoo Jillian and I are very very excited and are looking forward to moving in, painting and doing some touch ups to the place. 

Other than that ginormous thing we have been hanging out with friends and family every opportunity we get. Personally I have been skating as much as I can, sketching, loving work and still trying to be rad not successfully though.

Jillian has been working her but off and has been trying to see her new nephew as much as possible. 

Our plates are very busy at the moment, but it is how we like it. 

Just to give an adoption update Jillian and I will be putting in our application as soon as we move into our new place. Because when adopting your house needs to be certified for the adoption as well and as much as we like being busy we don't like it enough to do that twice.

Also so a shout out to Kevin and Christy who had their second wedding anniversary on Monday. Yay 2 years down only forever to go.

Here is refresher pic a of our new place..

Another Place To Rest Your Heavy heart

One big week

This week started out with a big bang.
Natalie and Hodgie Gave birth to an 8 pound 22 inches healthy Beautiful baby boy. 
Natalie Was wonderful through the 29 hours of labor, yeep I said it 29 hours. It was really intense. The whole family pulled together taking turns rubbing shoulders, getting water and doing what ever Natalie needed and deserved. She was great.
Okay most of you know that ranga's, ginger ninja's or just straight red heads what ever you want to call them are not high on most Australians list. And most of you know that I was well in that group(mostly in gest mostly). Well a few years ago I had niece "Charlie" and she is very Ginga Ninja. Well Charlie took a huge chip out of my anti ranga wall. But with my new Nephew Henry's head redder than a match stick I think the wall has broken down. Well how can you not flip for a ranga when you have two adorable family members. With the newest one looking like this.

Keep it REAL Ginga everyone..
