i would like to propose a challenge...

so you all (t, mer & ragan) have the privilege of posting to this site and i have to say i'm disappointed. i give you two weeks, that's it...two weeks from today until i split and start my own adventure. let me know who's in and who's out. if i don't see a comment or independent blog within the alotted time, you will see my future posts under "the sweet sorrow of champagne bubbles."

happy birthday matt!
so, it's a day late and a dollar short here on the blog...but i want everyone to see the pics. we all started at zig zag cafe and then moved to the alibi room after matt did the loft tour. a night filled with drinks, dancing and pure class. thanks to everyone for coming out and making it a great time.

ragan inspires many, loses to few
ragan competed in a thriathlon in snohomish, rocked the vag tennies, finished strong and won a wetsuit. we are so proud of you girl! i would also like to add that she swore she would never do another one that day...4 days later, she asked me if i wanted to train for one next summer. silly bean!

pub race was a success
(i'm sorry i meant disaster)

i guess for a moment i wanted to feel like a winner and not a fool, but it turns out that marques and justin won, i got left behind and rescued and we all got kicked out of deluxe bar & grill. it was a ton-o-fun. check out all the fun stuff...

Some incentive for all participating in the Pub Race. Trophies are in!

the last chance

although many believe in "winter whites," it is a long standing fashion faux-paux to wear white after labor day. so ming took it upon himself to take the last saturday before the dreaded date and give us all one "last chance" to wear our whites. no red wine allowed.

witness our style

ani makes me happy
it's just been too long, so here are some quick pics from the ani concert at marymoore. it was a great show and time altogether. between sammies and beer and rushing the stage, ani filled the night with the usual set list and inspirational stories about patriarchy and feminism (not just for women anymore).

i would also like to add that her opener took us running through memories of d.a.r.e. and oregon trail. do you remember oregon trail? oh how i looked forward to fridays in fifth grade!

our house was so warm

thanks to all that showed up and enjoyed the beer pong, sparkling concoctions & good company!
