FIRST...On Thurs morning (at 6:00 am - sorry Ben for making you take us!) we leave for the Bahamas! I am so excited. Yesterday (after re-painting the bathroom - same color, just a new coat and a new white ceiling) Steve and I started making a list of things we needed and started piling up things in the guest room to pack. I have 3 reading books, two crossword puzzle books, 1 sodoku book, 1 photo hunt book, 1 ipod shuffle, 3 magazines, and some sun block. As long as I throw in a few bathing suits, I think I could be ready to go! :)
SECOND... Everytime we leave for extended periods of time, it seems to be the exact time that Beth's dad (Peevo) makes plans to come to the Pacific Northwest. He was here while we were in Greece and he will be here again while we are in the Bahamas. We are totally sad that we will miss him and are hoping we can make plans to do breakfast before he heads back to the East Coast. I know it doesn't seem like that big of a deal... your friend's dad is coming to town... and you will not be able to see him... SAD? YES! Totally sad. Peevo is awesome (even though he says he feels bad for Steve for having to put up with Beth and my antics). We are sad that we will miss him, but are happy that he took us up on the offer to stay at our house instead of a hotel. The empty green house will be happy for the company!
THIRD... Right now, while I blog, Steve is hand painting one part of the bathroom above the shower. The "paint line" between the shower and the wall wasn't straight and he is humoring me. I love him.

Vitamins
We had sunshine today!!! It is true. We woke up to a strange light coming through the bedroom curtains. We rubbed the sleep from our eyes and took a few minutes to register whether or not we were dreaming... but low and behold... WE HAD SUNSHINE!!
It was a perfect Sunday. The weather was low 70's. Beth and I started the day with a walk around Greenlake, a trip to central market for organic strawberries, and some good catching up. (thanks Bethie!).
After walking for my health, Jen and Owen and I headed South to the "Rain Cafe." (More commonly known as the "Rain Forest Cafe.") We saw the monkeys, the birds, the elephants, fish, butterflies, and, most importantly, the aligator that opens and closes its mouth while growling. Owen stroked my hair and said, "Don't worry Noni. It is not real." Next we headed to Macy's for the clinique bonus (Such a cute little pink bag!) and stopped at Ikea for a few choice items - one which included a plant for Owen that he loved so much he cried real tears when I tried to take it out of his sleeping hands in an attempt to save the plant from falling to the floor.
After the outing with Jen and O, Steve and I sat out on the back patio and played cards. Steve started watching tv, but reluctantly agreed to come outside and play games with me... just until the sun went down. I got some well needed vitamin D and absolutely loved today!!!
