So Chris and I have spent the last two weeks in Seattle with my Family. It was lots of fun. here's what we did:
-went to two Mariner games (against two of Chris's favorite teams, the White Soxs and The Angels)
-went to the zoo and the aquarium
-went shopping in downtown Seattle (my favorite place to shop!)
-spent 3 days at Baker Lake Lodge in Northern Washington (we hung out, watched movies, went out on the boat and hiked, all while getting eaten alive by mosquitoes)
-went to the Seattle temple (it was our first time back since we have been married)
-went out on lake sammamish (the water was actually warmer i think then the air temperature)
-Chris became addicted to the Wii (especially this game called mario strikers, but he will tell you he wasnt addicted it was just something to do while I wanted to read the whole time)
-speaking of reading I finished the first book in the twilight series and am halfway through the 2nd one (thanks to the many recommendations.. Thanks Janelle)
All in all it was a great time, the weather was actually perfect it was sunny most of the days and just warm enough but cool enough to offer some relief from teh horrible hot weather we have had all summer in Utah. We were so excited to be able to put a sweatshirt on at night! hah!
But Chris just left this morning to go back to Utah to meet up with all the Jones Family Boys for the first BYU football game, lets just say he is FULLY INVESTED! While I leave Issaquah to go to Walla Walla to my grandparents to celebrate their 50th anniversary. So this is the first time that Chris and I have been apart since we have been married. It was Sad to see him leave but I just had to tell myself to suck it up because it was only a couple of days...thats the newlywed side of me coming out!
We are sad to have summer end, but it has been such a wonderful one with lots of visitors and some trips. It was great to end our summer on such high notes with getting to spend time with both sides of the family! But I think Chris and I are also a little ready for school to start so that we can have a more steady routine and have a little more time to spend together since Chris wont be gone working full time now.

Sounds like you guys had an awesome time! I love all the pictures. The wii is pretty fun! We hope to get one maybe for Christmas. Good luck getting back to school! Love you!
What a great summer you had. Dad wanted to thank the Mariners for allowing the Angels to sweep them and for keeping their losing streak going. Dad, Chris J., Wes, Franciso, and Chris N. had a great time at the BYU/Arizona game. The only thing hotter on that field than us were the Cougars. We are looking forward to you two joining us as they take on the Bruins this saturday in the Rose Bowl. See you. All our love.
Tell me what you think!
