I've expanded my love for all things scrap, and have started to dabble a bit in the world of card making. I bought a card making kit a number of months ago, and just sat down this evening to make John a few cards for the love fest that is Valentine's Day. Yes, I realize the day is a commercialized mess, so that is why I'm making the cards instead of supporting another Hallmark Holiday. Making cards is like making miniature scrap pages, and who doesn't like miniature stuff, right? Mini-cheeseburgers from the Maritime Ale House, Hershey's chocolate miniatures, those mini-cans of soda that grandma used to stock in the fridge, garden gnomes, puppies, babies, hobbits, I could go on.......Great things can come in miniature sizes.
John flew in to Seattle on Friday night. It has been sooooooo great to be with him the past day! Last night we went to Oaxaca in Ballard, John's all time favorite restaurant in Seattle. The place is always packed, and luckily there was a table for two open when we arrived. Perfect timing. Saturday morning we took a walk to our favorite neighborhood coffee shop, Cafe Fiore. Best coffee in town. It was nice to go for a walk together, something we used to do on a daily basis when he was still living in Seattle. Then we went down to Golden Gardens and walked around, took some photos, enjoyed the scenery and eachother. We had lunch at our favorite sushi restaurant in Ballard, Sam's Sushi. John's friends Nathanya and Ryan met up with us, and we had an awesome visit with them. John's just taking a little nap at the moment, then we are going to head up country for the evening to visit Rik and Shelley. I can't wait to be down in California with him full time! Especially now that we found a place to live! We'll be living in a 3 bedroom townhouse in Valencia. I will of course post photos once we are all settled in.
