Sports Love!

I. LOVE. THE. SEATTLE. MARINERS.

We either watch or listen to every game because we rock.

In other news, the invitations are stuff and sealed. They just need addresses on them, which I am writing by hand and my hand writing sorta sucks (as many of you saw on your Save the Dates!) so that's gonna be fun.

This is Tami, by the way. Or Tam. Or Tamalam. Or Tam* (Clintonius Maximus has sole legal rights to that one, sorry). Or Tamikins. Or Thegreatestwomantoeverwalktheearth. Or Tami HiI'mawesome. Or Timtam (once again, Liz has sole legal rights to that one. Long story about Australia, a Christmas package, Matt, delicious chocolate cookies- called Timtams nonetheless- and choking on cookies soggy with hot chocolate because, apparently, in Australia they think Timtams make good straws). Or Rock Star. Or baby (Jason's got that one). Or Cami if you just met me and have hearing problems.

Uh, regardless of all. Of. That. Jason loves the Mariner's, too, so it wouldn't really matter who wrote this!!

We love the M's. We're going to see them play Oakland Thursday night and are serious about at least getting a 16 game pack for next season. Feel free to get us season tickets as THE BEST WEDDING PRESENT EVER! Seriously, that would mean more than a car, or a pimped out home theatre!

Ok, enough rambling. I just am being lazy about typing people into the address book for RSVP'ing to the wedding. I must get back to work!

Go MARINERS!!!

In their honor, here's some photo love:


PS Notice the lovely Seattle skyline in the background
PPS Notice the AWSOME Qwest Field back there, too! You'll hear loads about the Seahawks in probably about a month :)

Wedding Website!

The official wedding website is up and running!

Click here to check it out

And... still busy!

Hello all! Sorry to say that we're still ridiculously busy. Jason's still pulling 90 hour workweeks and I recently started working at the local water district doing office work. The invitations came Thursday so this weekend's agenda is full.

I need to assemble the invitations, make the little extra insert (with info like where we're registered, the website address, etc), and get the website completely finito. Lots o' work!

So... that said... I have to keep on keepin' on!

I hope you're all having a glorious summer-- love ya!

Your praise becomes my song

[Filled With Your Glory, Starfield]

BUSY! Ahhh! Ergo, bullet points :)

  • Starfield is an amazing band. Seriously. Go buy and download their self-titled album on iTunes. Right. This. Second.

  • Jas and I arrived safely 2 1/2 weeks ago here in Bothellopolis. Or Bothell. Whatever.

  • I LOVE the new apartment! It's big and nice and like 3 minutes from I-405. I'm learning my way around the area decently well, so that's happy too :) Pics shall come when I have a wee bit more time :)

  • We've been SUPER busy. We registered, which was REALLY fun, bought the stuff we need now that can't wait for the hopes of being a wedding gift, I've worked on all that comes with moving to a completely new place, etc. Not to mention that Jas is still working 85 or so hours a week. And I've been trying to keep things rolling with wedding planning. Yowza.

  • We went camping for 2 1/2 days last weekend at Steamboat Rock. Despite reapplying SPF 45 about 6 times in 5 hours I still got a sunburn. LAME. But I then put on aloe vera like 5 times a day so no peeling, which is REALLY nice :) Once again, pics to come when I haves me a little time.

  • I went to my first few Marier's games at Safeco. I. LOVE. IT. Jason and I are already plotting for how soon we can become season ticket holders! I am not kidding. We're pretty sure we're going to do like at least the 16 game pack next year or something. I love the Mariners. I really need to start praying everyday that we can re-sign Ichiro since he's becoming a free agent after this season. Oh, and I really love the Red Sox but we went to the first game in the series sweep and... well, Boston fans are really horribly obnoxious. Sort of tainted my love a little. I was torn between two loves, but the lameness of the vast majority of the Sox fans inspired me to REALLY cheer on the M's, and I'm sure glad I did because I am quite certain that my yells were what spurred the M's to victory.

  • OOOOOOHHHHHHH! In my first four viewings of Seattle at bats at my first game, in which I got to see Ken Griffey, Jr, who was visiting with the Reds, play, I also saw my first grand salami! Seriously- three guys up to the plate and then on base, and then BOOM, grand slam out o' the park. It was SWEET! Oh, and Safeco calls home runs "funk blasts" and grand slams "funk slams" and they play, "We want the funk, gotta have that funk" every time someone (well, a Mariner) hits a home run and it's always stuck in my head now!! We saw quite a few home runs in our two outings thus far.

  • I've been working on invitations, coordinating with bridal shower plans, and a wedding website. All of that info is to come :)

  • I got a job! Starting tomorrow I'll be working at the Alderwood Water District doing reception/clerical work. Exactly what I want :) And it's a temp position through August 24, so I'll be able to take a few weeks off right when things kick into CRAZY for wedding stuffs. Plus, it's really close to the apartment (like a 15 minute drive, but only 7 miles) which is also lovely. And it pays pretty well. Then, I'll look for something a little better and more permanent after la wedding. Yay!

  • Aight, I need to spend some time with the Lord, and then be off to Trader Joe's and Costco.
