autumn in spokane

aaron and i decided we would send out a christmas card this year...we didn't last year for some reason. having a good christmas card involves having a GOOD picture to put on it...so we attempted to take our christmas picture this year using a gorillapod and our camera. we walked to franklin park, which is 2 houses down from our house, hooked our gorillapod to the tree branch and set the 10 sec timer on the camera...here are a couple pics that we didn't choose for the card :)


it is SO hard to take a cute picture playing with leaves...as you can see, we tried and failed plenty of times. i was determined to try to get a good one though :)




by the end of our "photo shoot," our hands were frozen and i was DONE with taking pictures...where is ryan when we need him!

tuba man

if you are a seattle sports fan, then you have at one sporting event or another crossed paths with seattle's iconic tuba man. his sudden and tragic death puts a stamp on this year in sports for the pacific northwest...

Toilet Bowl 2008

its been a tough year for washington sports. with the start of the nba season i had a hard time trying to pick out the players on the oklahoma city thunder... for those of you who dont recognize that name or know what the heck im talking about, no, that is not a wnba franchise... even though it sounds like one. no, that is in fact the new name of the once and former seattle suuuuuper sonics. sad i know. even sadder is the idea of now turning south on i-5 to the portland trailblazers to get my thug on. actually having b-roy on the squad helps a lot, but i think im going to check out those underachieving zags now that i am on this side of the mountains. a team who sleeps through a weak a** conference year after year and tanks the big hype in the big dance, year after year. but home games are like getting into lambeau field, your not getting in unless you know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody.... so... yeah. im still working on a solution.

now where as the disappointing seasons from the mariners and hawks are tough to stomach, they are edged out by this years toilet bowl for 2008. im actually taking deep consideration about packing down for this record setting season... take a look. this is truly an historic event.

cabo wabo

hi, this is megan. just this last week, my good friend sarah and i just got back from a week vacation in the sun in cabo, mexico. aaron graciously allowed me to use a companion pass to take sarah with me for my birthday (aaron didn't go because he had school...and because he would have hated the HOT weather in mexico). we had been planning for over a month to go to mazatlan...we had our hotel booked and everything. well the joy of flying standby...when we got to LAX to catch our flight to mazatlan, the flight was oversold and we didn't make it on. there is only one flight out of LAX to mazatlan a day, and the flight the following day was oversold also. so sarah and i were sitting in the LA airport trying to decide what we were going to do when these two women approached us and said that they overheard us talking about our dilemma. to make a longer story shorter...they had a timeshare in cabo that they had already paid for and were not using. they offered the timeshare to us for a great price and there was a flight leaving for cabo in an hour. SO we hopped on the plane and landed in cabo 2 hour later! it seriously felt like we were on the amazing race!
