Ever since I've been in Seattle I've wanted to go boating on Lake Washington. I've driven by it and over it on the floating bridges so many times and finally a week ago, I got my chance. It came as no surprise that our friends Doug and Ashley Clark would grant us this pleasure. They've already helped us out in so many ways like moving us in and letting us borrow both their car and computer when we were desperately in need, so why not a boat ride too?
Doug's parents have a place on the lake with a boat so it was perfect, and the weather was perfect too! We saw some amazing houses (including Bill Gates' house which I took a picture of but it doesn't do it justice), went swimming, had a delicious BBQ after and I even got sunburned. It was awesome.
Are we not the palest people you have ever seen? Hence the sunburn. Truth be told that's why we moved to Seattle. It's the perfect excuse.
The Clarks are moving this weekend to Issaquah, a nice suburban area about 25 minutes outside the city. We're so excited for them to have a a nice new home but we'll miss them a lot. Thanks Clarks for making the dream come true! (you haven't seen the last of us).
In other wish-fulfilling news, we finally have a new car! It's wonderful. In fact, I want all of you car owners out there (so basically everyone) to go take a good look at your vehicle and think to yourself, "How lucky I am to have a transportation device!" Because you really are. Those of you who have ever been without one for awhile will know what I mean.
This was the second time in our marriage where cars have failed us and we needed a new one. For that reason I think I'll always be grateful to have one no matter how nice or not nice they are. Just the fact that they get from point A to point B in such good time and with such low hassle is simply amazing to me now. We did finally get a newer, more dependable car so let's hope this won't ever happen again. Shoot, did I just jinx myself? Special thanks to the Hudsons for all they did to help make it possible. We love you guys!

That lake looks so beautiful! I'm so sad beauty died. We had so many good memories from "Summer of a Thousand Dreams" in that car. RIP Beauty.
Congrats on getting the new car! I didn't have a car for most of college and it really makes you grateful to get one again!
What great pictures you took! By the way, you won't have to miss us. We plan on seeing you a lot still. :)
