A Rant

A quick story, since it just put me in a bad mood. I drove Tyler to school due to the fact that it was raining today, and as I was about to pull into our parking garage I noticed that there was a car in front of me with a Utah license plate and a BYU sticker in the back window. I have never seen this car in our parking garage before so I decided to go and introduce myself. Let me just say that doing something like this is going way out of my comfort zone. This is something that Tyler would feel comfortable doing, but this type of stuff makes me feel uncomfortable. So, I walked over and explained to them that I saw their plates and that I was from Utah, too. I asked them if they were new to the area trying to learn more about them and possibly make some new friends since there are so few Utahns/LDS that live in our building. They completely blew me off! They acted like I was some kind of crazy person barging in and invading their personal space. They said that they were only here for the summer and that they were moving on Monday. The conversation quickly turned awkward so I just said, "okay, nice chatting with you" and walked away. I left so irritated and annoyed because this is something I don't normally do and was trying to be nice. So annoying....

G&E were in town

Those infamous non-bloggers Jason and Erica just paid us a visit and we had a great time. Unfortunately, we didn't take many pictures as we're having problems with our camera (the battery seems to die in about 10 minutes). So I guess you'll just get to see the few that we actually did end up taking.

Eating brunch

We've lived in Seattle for over three years and never been on the monorail until last weekend

This is one of the boats from "The Deadliest Catch" that we saw while on a little boat tour

I wish I had a picture from our dinner with Erica's family, because for me that was the highlight of their visit. Erica's dad Frank is an absolute riot to have dinner with -- he had me and Stacy laughing the whole time. In fact, if I could choose three people to have dinner with, and I know people typically choose really cool historical figures, but I would probably go with Rett in his storytelling prime (roughly 9th grade), Frank circa now, and George Michael Bluth.
