First NFL Game

On Sunday Maury and I went to the Seattle Seahawks vs the Arizona Cardinals football game with our friends here in Washington.  This was my first ever NFL game and Maury's first in about 10 years.  Neither of us would call either team our "favorite" team, but the couple we went with are each from the opposing state so there was much rivalry there!  We had great seats and it was fun for Maury and I to cheer for good plays.  The Seahawks are known for having a huge '12th man', and the they do not fall short of their title.  The stadium was packed with over 66,000 people and was SO loud! CenturyLink field is very pretty and I am proud to say while living here we have been both to a Mariners baseball game and now a Seahawks football game! :)

Before the game

The clouds looks nasty and it poured rain for about 10 minutes and then the sun was out and hot! Typical Seattle

I thought this was a pretty cool picture

Larry Fitzgerald is on one of Maury's fantasy football teams so of course we cheered for him

Until next time,

Brie :) 

Early Birthday Fun

I can't believe its been over a month since I last updated our blog!  A lot has happened since the last time I updated and I have pictures to share too.

Two weeks ago, Maury and I got to opportunity to got home for a job interview for Maury.  While we were home we celebrated my birthday that is now 6 days away! We knew we wouldn't get to go home for my actual birthday, so my wonderful husband set up an early birthday party for me with my closest friends.  I am so grateful I got to see everyone while I was home :)

The wonderful Debbie Stankevich made desserts and a special birthday cake for me (I need to find a picture of it to share!)

Until next time,

Baseball Fun

Last week the AAA Baseball team in Tacoma had a military appreciation night for Maury's company.  We decided to take advantage of the free tickets, free drink, hotdog and chips and enjoy a baseball game! We had a great time with another couple that we have really enjoyed getting to know and hang out with here in Washington.

Mom's Birthday

While I was home it was also my mom's birthday! I am so glad I was able to be home to celebrate with her. I have the absolute best mom in the entire world and am lucky to not only have her as a mom, but also as a best friend! I'm ready to be back in Fresno so we can go to lunch, go shopping, and watch our favorite reality shows together when ever we want.  We had dinner at Cheesecake Factory a few nights before her birthday, went to Michael Buble, had lunch on her birthday and had yogurt before I left! I hope you had a wonderful couple of days celebrating Mom! I love you!! :)

Mr. and Mrs. Suhovy

I am so glad I was able to be home and be a part of this very special day.  My dear friend Kelly Gross got married to the most perfect man for her, Bryan Suhovy.  I must say, I told Kelly from day one of our friendship (about 3 years ago) that I thought Bryan was the perfect guy for her.  But as everyone knows, she always said "No no no, we are just friends, plus we coach together so it would NEVEEEER work..."-Famous Last Words ;) Their wedding was absolutely beautiful and couldn't have turned out more perfect. I was a little worried about the Fresno weather when she told me August 12th and out doors, but surprisingly the weather wasn't bad at all, it was actually a very cool night!

 The After Party took place at Jay's Sports Bar and Grill.  We just weren't ready for the fun to end when the DJ had to stop playing music.  I love my friends :)
