ITS OFFICIAL!!!!

1st Anniversary and Janelle's B-Day!

Last Sunday was our first anniversary and Janelle's 31st birthday. We celebrated by starting off the weekend by getting 90 minute massages (and then Matt falling asleep back at home) at InSpa Saturday morning. Then we exchanged gifts, which had a decidedly zen feel with a Buddha statue from Janelle and a stone massage kit and a reflexology kit from Matt.

Next we headed to the Silver Cloud Hotel on Lake Union. We immediately jumped on the bed of course and sat in the "super lounger" which was a kind of like an arm chair with a foot rest attached. We checked out the cool view and then took the shuttle offered by the hotel into down town and explored Pike's Place and Pacific Place.

We headed to our home for the night and decided to go in the hot tub since there was no one there. Ten minutes later we headed back down and the hot tub was overflowing with people! Janelle was not happy since this meant she had to slowly ease her way into the "freezing" pool. She finally took the plunge and went all the way in after about 15 minutes of gradually walking further and further in and then the hot tub opened up. Janelle was in there in no time! We took the elevator back up to our floor, the elevator stopped, we waited and then we started heading back down again! We had to ride down and back up and luckily this time the doors opened! Unfortunately even after rinsing off, the hot tub caused some seriously itchy skin. UGH.

The next morning we had a yummy free breakfast and lounged around until it was time to check out. We went home and Janelle's parents came up to celebrate her birthday. We had a great time and Janelle scored a new Ipod! Woo-hoo!

Suddenly, Matt got a text message and Janelle declared "I'm going to read this o.k.?" and promptly did so. This is really out of character for her, and of course the one time she did this, she read a text from John revealing a birthday surprise Matt had in the works! Poor Matt was super bummed, but Janelle was stoked to learn she was getting a mini guitar! She's played for years but because as she is a petite thing, her regular guitar is a little big for her.

So that is the weekend in a nutshell. Being the notoriously bad bloggers we are, we forgot the camera, so the only evidence of the weekend is our photo booth pics we took at Westlake Center. Matt had a difficult time figuring out where to put his head until the last shot!

We originally saw clip on The Soup, but now we can't get this word out of our heads and say it randomly. We have no idea what it means but it cracks us up!
