Thanks for the Ride

Last Sunday Oley and I finished something we had been working on for 7 years.  One of the best television sitcoms of all time.... King of Queens.  

 

When I first met Oley he told me about his favorite TV show and I kind of brushed it off as though I didn't want to have any interest.  I finally gave it a couple episodes and I came to like it more and more and I couldn't quite figure out why I was liking it so much.  When we would talk to others about it they would say
"oh my gosh that is totally your life, you are Doug and Carrie".  Oddly enough as I looked at our lives and compared it to theirs it was more true than I ever would have thought.  Sadly we finished the last episode of the last season and after many laughs and tears we are glad that we spent 7 years watching this sitcom, we will miss it! 

 On a lighter note the week was so busy, I had to go to Seattle a couple days for a conference for work, and Oley was working 12 hour days starting at 5 AM.  So not a whole lot to write about.  We did have our home study Friday afternoon and that was a success.  Forced us to have to finish our bedroom.  

Okay so I lied the bedroom isn't 100% complete, but looks much better than it did 2 weeks ago.  Hopefully by the end of this week we will have the bed frame put up there and get the rest of the pictures up.  Then on to the office and baby's room.  Promptly after our home study we hopped in the car and headed up to Everett to spend the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa.  It was a great little get away. While there we watched the opening ceremonies.  What a disappointment they were.  

On Saturday Oley helped Grandma a bit in the yard and then she was itching to go for a drive somewhere so we hopped in the car and let them take us to La Conner, Washington.  What an absolutely awesome little tourist trap.  I was extremely disappointed that I forgot my camera at home, but I guess that gives us an excuse to have to go again sometime. Lily loved Grandpa's car!  

 We got back to their place on Saturday evening, we had planned to go home, but after Oley cooked us up some pork chops and cobbler with the fresh berries Grandpa treated us to we were inclined to stay one more night.  We love going up and visiting with them and can't wait for our next visit. 

Once we got home we finished the mountains of laundry awaiting us, and Oley so lovingly hemmed my pants.  I am lucky to have such a domestic husband able to cook and sew!  

Seems as though the weekend just begun, but yet again it wasn't long enough.  Off to work bright and early in the morning as we prepare for yet another busy work week!
