The One with Pumpkin Waffles

If you haven't already please comment on this post! Thank you!

Matty decided to do the grocery shopping this week, and when that happens, inevitably he comes home with treats! He bought some delicious Pumpkin Waffle mix from Trader Joe's. That stuff is incredible!! Our waffle iron is getting some good use this fall!

 Matt likes to cook a fun Sunday night dinner, and this time it was pumpkin waffles, eggs and thick sliced bacon. Yum!

 There is nothing better than breakfast for dinner, especially when this girl is sad and needs a little pick me up.

We ate them with delicious maple syrup that he bought me in Whistler this summer.

Thank you Matt, for being such a good hubby. :)

I love you.

Happy Valentine's Day

I am planning on spending V-Day with my cute hubby Matt.


After work we will be getting two for one mochas at Starbucks before heading to the movies with our good friends.

Matty bought me a Fujifilm mini instax camera for Valentine's Day! I have been asking for one for two years, but he could not understand how I could want an instant camera when I already have a much nicer camera. Its all for fun, of course!

So its in the mail now...as soon as it comes I will be taking pictures and sharing them here. Can't wait!

Happy New Year!

All about Matt

This morning Matty and I got in a fight. I know this is shocking to all...Matt and I in a fight? What? How rare is this!

Anyway, we are not fighting anymore.

Matt felt guilty about our fight and bought me a yellow rose and some caramel skinny cow ice cream cones after work tonight!

So I thought I would blog about how awesome he is and how wonderful our morning was. :)

We walked green lake together in the rain! I brought along my camera and had to wear it under my sweatshirt to keep it dry. We stopped by Starbucks on the way, and chatted while drinking coffee. When I am on long runs, I always notice couples walking and drinking coffee, and wish I were them!

We stopped to take pictures. I wanted a picture of Matty with his cute shoes and his grease pen numbers still there from the triathlon...
Here are the two of us together. I am wearing my new Chelanman hat.
Here is an awkward photo of us holding hands. I love how it shows our feet, especially Matt's unique fivefingers. (Okay, not so unique for Seattle)
When I took that last photo, I was going for this:
I took this photo last year in Victoria, and I LOVE it. Ever since I have tried to take hand holding photos (best taken w/ camera around the neck) and been unsuccessful. I keep trying.

This post is going on and on, and I am rambling. The whole point is that I LOVE MATT. The rest is just silly stuff.

Now I'm off to watch Enterprise with Matt. Really, I cannot believe we are watching this!

Tons of Valentine photos as promised!!!

First...This is my valentine! I have no idea what this photo is about, but I love it! Matty wouldn't kiss me for the photo because I'm sick. But what is this face??? No idea, but he's cute. :)

At the Valentine's day dash...
My re-run toast and coffee! I had to be festive before the V-Day dash.
By the way, I ran the dash in less than 25 minutes! In fact, my mile time was 7:59, which I was very proud of, especially since I had a cold and wasn't warmed up. :)

And here are some photos of the V-Day party that Stephanie puts on every year. The decorations are always gorgeous and I always go crazy with the photographs.
And now some photos of actual Valentine's day! (I know this is getting long)

My breakfast! I did NOT eat the toast or the banana. I DID consume a LOT of coffee. :)

This is the little candy set up that I had the back room. The flowers are from Kayla. They are so pretty, I love them!
Matty got me a little treat...Red rose! He also bought me some low carb ice cream and sugar free chocolates! Of course these are not guilt free, but a well deserved treat after my LONG work out.

Thanks for reading all of this, if you got this far. I really love this holiday and I had a blast this year, especially since I got drag it out for three whole days!!!

(And mom, to answer your question about Spin Class...Its basically an hour long class where we are all on stationary bicycles and the teacher encourages us to sprint and go through intervals and "hills". We also do some weights. Its fun!!! And its great cross training because I can't run all day.)

Happy Valentine's Day

We have had a full weekend and really fun day. I have lots of photos to share...Valentine's day dash, Stephanie's Valentine party on Sunday, Matt & I went out to breakfast this morning, I made valentines for people at work and Matty bought me a rose!!!

I have been so CRAZY busy that I haven't uploaded photos onto my computer. So pictures are coming! It was a good day.

10 mile run + spin class = I feel awesome.
I even ate carbs today. Makes me feel more awesome.
Matt treated me to low carb ice cream and Russel Stovers...definately don't feel awesome after that!

Matt's birthday

Matty's birthday is this Sunday. We are going out of town tomorrow morning, so we celebrated with his family on Wednesday and with friends on Thursday night. I have some photos from my new camera!!!

Annie made us an excellent dinner on Wednesday and we had some chocolate mousse and strawberry ice cream for dessert. I really loved that little cake and colorful candle.

On Thursday night we met some friends at Tutta Bella for pizza and gelato. The service was poor but the food was excellent! I got a yummy Mediterranean pizza with goat cheese on it...yum!!!
And lastly, here is a photo that I took with my old camera of my NEW CAMERA!!!
