Minnesota Vike what?

We learned the expensive way that watching the viking lose in person is no better than watching the Vikings lose on TV. Good thing I follow college football and am able to cheer for players that belong to the Seahawks. Thanks Russell Wilson for making the Vikings look even more terrible than they already are. Oh, and thank you Percy Harvin for not playing for 1 1/2 years and then coming back to play for the Seahawks, making your first appearance against the Vikings, and looking really good. Nice Strategy.

We spent the weekend of November 15-18 in Seattle with all of Andy's good friends (Dustin, Donny, Kip, Kyle, Tim and Beth) from high school and also our friends Ryan and Jessica Gaard from Billings. This whole trip was a celebration for Donegan's Birthday (supposedly whatever Donegan wants Donny gets). 
 

Highlights from the trip:
1. Gum Wall (Isn't it one of the wonders of the world?)

I have been waiting to see this for a long time, Check off  the bucket list

2. Crab Pot
3. Lots of beer drinking
4. Loudest Stadium
5. Chihuly Glass Museum (my favorite).
6. Watching Kip hit a pole (almost penetrating his spleen) while yelling "Shake n' Bake" at Dustin
7. Seeing Tim's apartment
8. Seeing the Space Needle
9. Going to the Market
10. Riding a ferry to another town to of-course go drink some beer.
11. Hanging with a great group of friends. Making Memories
12. Oh, one more.... Getting cut off at the crab pot due to yelling "Donny" and singing "Happy Birthday really loud." 

Most days were raining and cloudy, hard get good pic

Peace, Love and Happiness.

Beautiful "big" City.

This Guy is Amazing

I first saw his creations in the Bahamas.

My favorite one.

Little did I know how amazing his work is. 

Dale Chihuly!

 

 

A few pics that highlight our trip. More to come, I hope. We all hope this is a trip that we can make every year. Did I mention Andy has the closest group of friends ever. FUN FUN FUN!!

Boo!

Yes, the mustache is real.

Judging by the following pictures, it probably isn't hard to guess that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. How lucky I am to have married someone who gets as excited about Halloween as I do (he wore is costume to work all day).  What made it even better this year is that one of our favorite bands, and our good friends, Jon Wayne and the Pain were playing right here in Bozeman. We started the night by going to visit the Romines and see little Stella (well actually, Maddie wanted to go see Stella). Maddie was in her usual Devil costume, but this will be the last year as she has grown a bit heavy and it no longer fits. We then made it downtown to the Zebra and spent the night with good friends Jammin' to JWP.

Ps. I loved our costumes this year :) Andy made a great trap also. Oh, and did I mention that I made my costume.
