1st post ever

We wish it was possible to start this blog 4 years ago...then all of the history would make sense....all of the pictures would be posted in order, and our OCD-ness of having everything already done would be in control, but we guess there is no way to change the past. Of course throughout this blog, we will refer to things and share pictures and bring you all up to date. But at least we can get this thing started with a list of a bunch of our favorite things in no particular order:

Giraffes, penguins, hugs, the Ayse's, sleep, the warmth of the sun, the Seahawks, the Mariners (we know who likes this more), our new house, our family, traveling, reading, Bravo/The Food Network, DVR, cheese, The Twilight Series (again, pretty obvious who, right?), Harry Potter, Caramel Machiatto's, Pirates, scarves, Cranes (the machine, not the bird), Nature Valley Sweet and Salty Peanut Granola Bars, Magic pants, Awce-cream, Hell's Kitchen, Anything that Bobby Flay does, air conditioning, Italy, Pho/Man dates, Nicky D, Bamboo Garden, Rose (faux) Chicken drumettes, Palomino Happy Hour, Captain Morgan's Private Stock Rum, vases, Tiffany Blue, Alias, hearing Jack say "pah-coo-say" and "mazing", cookies, Vanilla Sky Martinis from Palamino, red vine flavored salt water taffy, O.A.R., Dispatch, DMB, Coldplay, Transformers 1 & 2, Eddie (who will always be in our hearts), Palm Pre, Barrio, the Starbucks drive-thru by Costco (when you go there you really are in a different state), Moneyball, our old car the 2005 Acura MDX, our rockstar parking spot by Safeco Field/Seahawk Stadium, psb speakers, Norman's salsa, Papa's guacamole, playing tiles at Lynn and Norman's, Single malt scotch, Blueberry vodka, Crown, clarisonic, Burton, Venice, swimming, turtles, steam rooms, compartmentalized toilets, Enzo Angiolini high heels, comfy shorts, Duke basketball, the Cherry blossoms in the Quad in the spring, chapstick and of course our good health. This is just a small number of the things we cherish, and we will share more soon.
