Monday Monday

Hello all! Well, I'm afraid I am doing a poorer job updating this blog than I thought I would...thanks for reading, anyway :) Since Tuesday, we've been caring for our friend Danny's sweet chihuahua Satine. Kitten was not super thrilled with the new addition to the family and chased her around a bit. I think she was half-curious, wanting to be friendly, and half-jealous. All in all, it was a fun visit!

Yesterday Chelsea's older sister Stephanie and her fiance Dan came to Crate & Barrel to register for their wedding in August. As the floor manager, I am in charge of hosting wedding parties, a private event the C&B puts on for couples to create their wedding registries in the store. We have breakfast, product demos, and lots of friendly staff on hand to answer any questions. It was really fun for me to have family attend! You guys did a great job :) Steph and I had a one-on-one session today after work to help her navigate the store and product a little more, and it was fun to give her some tips and insider info. I'm excited for their wedding in August, yay!

Yesterday afternoon Chels and I went on a 5-mile walk with the family. Aunt Cathy, cousins Miranda & Claire, Stephanie, Chelsea, and I did the walk as a practice run for a half-marathon walk we planned to do with the family before Steph's wedding. Aunt Cathy and Cindy had the idea for the "wedding march" and we've been walking around Greenlake once a week since the beginning of the year to prepare. Very fun! We all made it, from Madrona (Aunt Cathy's house) to Seward Park in Seattle. What a beautiful walk! It was along Lake Washington Boulevard, right along the lake, with many big old houses and nice parks. It was a lovely walk and we had a great time--I'm proud of us!
