a true bellingham weekend

we had another full, but relaxing, weekend. it was perfect weather - and a great mix of naps, yard work, friends and lots of celebrating. here is a run-down of what we did:

a bike ride to the junior ski to sea parade on friday night, followed by ice cream with friends



saturday morning yard work


then attended our next-door neighbors gorgeous wedding in the afternoon, along with the neighbors from across the street


sunday we remembered tyler's dad, dave, passing 3 years ago AND celebrated six years of marriage. wow! what a day for us. kind of icky they are both on the same day, but that is how life goes and we have no control. maybe someday we will know why, or maybe there is no reason. but regardless, we miss him and think of him all the time. we wish riley could have known him. he would have gotten a kick out of her! she shares his same passion and joy for life. he loved riding his bike, and so do we, so we like to remember him by doing that. sooo....we rode our bikes to the mt. bakery and basked in the sun while devouring a wonderful breakfast. i think dave would have loved to do that with us.




after breakfast we made our way up the hill to church, back home, naps for all then out to dinner for tyler and i to giuseppe's to remember our wedding and celebrate our marriage. six years is really getting up there! kind of at that point where you start to lose track, haha. but what a marriage we've had. we have seen very bright and sunny days and have also had our fair share of dark and long valleys with only the tiniest bit of light shining through. we are sure thankful to have each other. as well as our wonderful family/friends.
