The Week in Review

We had a semi-busy week last week...

1. Monday we went and saw the new Star Trek movie at the IMAX at the Science Center. I didn't see the first new Star Trek in the theater, so Brian got it from Red Box a few weeks ago in preparation for the new movie. It was great- fun action, good characters. And you just can't beat seeing a movie at the real IMAX. Plus, we always go to the Armory (the food court at the centerhouse), which is pretty great now. We got pizza and beer at MOD pizza, and then I got a mini peach pie from PIE to take in to the movie. I love those little pies...so much crust, which is my favorite. Yum.

2. Tuesday we were supposed to have our first kickball game of the Summer season, but it was cancelled because of the one hour of rain that happened that day (so weird, it was a beautiful day otherwise)...so Brian bought some last minute tickets to the US Men's National Team game at Century Link. Brian and I both realized that we hadn't ever been to a United States sporting event. There is always a certain amount of pride you have for your own home team...I mean, we love those Sounders. But it's a whole different level when you have many-a-people showing up in stars and striped pants (how do so many people have American flag pants?)...it was a super fun game- we won, which always helps. On to the World Cup!

3. Wednesday we considered going to the Mariners game, but decided to stay home and use the grill. I had some salmon to bbq, and Brian got a delicious steak from Trader Joe's, we had some corn on the cob...yum. We watched some more of the new Arrested Development season, some Fringe. Was nice. My Thursday and Friday evening were similar, as Brian had plans.

4. Thursday I got off work early, it was the 2 yr old's last day of pre-school, so there was a party that the parents went to. I drove down to the eff dub, and visited my sisters and the twins. Jessica got a new kitten, so I was excited to meet her. Darling little thing. And very sweet with the twins (at least while I was there), batting at their little hands without any claws out.

5. Saturday was a big day...we adopted two kittens! Separate post on them...but the adoption process wasn't as intense as they made it sound. We adopted at a little cat shelter in West Seattle called Kitty Harbor. We filled out the paperwork ahead of time, and got there 20 minutes before it opened. I hadn't slept well the night before, anxious that there wouldn't be enough kittens for us. Once it opened, they had the group go in and play with the kittens and decide which you wanted- they require that you adopt two if you are getting kittens...and really, once we were there, they didn't ask us any questions- it seemed like they were just happy to have nice people taking their cats home...which is how I felt like the whole experience should be!

We went to a show at the Crocodile that evening- one of the guys Brian works with is in a band that did a Bowie cover night...was fun! And they were great.

6. On Sunday, Brian's dad came over to West Seattle and we went out to Brunch at Endolyne Joes. We came home for a little bit, and then went down to my dad's for a bbq with the fam. Busy, busy! 

But more on the kittens!
