Don’t Give yup Yet…

Sporadic blogging will continue until after August 18th.  Until after I get back from my honeymoon.  Until after I become and MRS instead of a MS or MISS. 
Last night we were working on making reservations for the honeymoon.  We’ve decided to take a trip up to Victoria, B.C. for a few days of fun and relaxation.  We found this odd looking place to stay that isn’t too expensive, and we’re going for it!  I think we are both excited about heading up there.  Neither of us have ventured to the Island, and it looks like a great place to visit.  Yeah for vacations!  I realized, as we were registering for the trip, that it was the last time I would be registering for a trip under my maiden name.  I guess it is one of those bitter-sweet kind of things.  I’m happy to take his name, but at the same time, I have had this one for a really long time.  It seems like a really strange thing to do to a person, take away the name they have always had.  Oh well. 
Until the honeymoon, though, we will be doing nothing but hectic running around.  We’ve got so much left to do, so many little things to start thinking about, so much shopping to accomplish!  And 45 (or is it 44?) days to do it all in!  I can hardly believe that 6 months have almost gone by. 
This last weekend was good.  Mark and Breeayne had a two day layover in Seattle, so we picked them up from the airport and went out to dinner.  Breeayne really wanted to visit a sandy beach, so we trucked down to Golden Gardens and walked the beach a bit before dinner.  Friday we took them to the Locks and I think my brother was in heaven.  Big, beautiful boats going by, salmon running through the fish ladders, the sun shinning.  If he had his fishing pole it would have been perfect.  We met up with mom and dropped them off with her. 
The sun was shinning all weekend so Freeman and I went on a bike ride Saturday.  There was an exhibit at the MOHAI that I had wanted to see for awhile.  None of my friends could seem to make the time, so we just took off and went together.  I’m glad that we did.  The exhibit that I wanted to see what nothing like what I expected.  There were tons of miniature outfits, complete with shoes, purses, hats and gloves, on little wire dolls.  Theater de la Mode is what it was called.  It was really cool.  There was also an exhibit for a Seattle P-I photographer, Phil Webber, that had passed away.  That was VERY cool.  Seeing his photos from the last 50 years were incredible.  Freeman and I had a great time at the museum and then we rode our bikes home.  It was a great way to spend a Saturday.
