Firsts

Being around little kids all the time, I often get to enjoy "first moments" and I'm even lucky enough to get to enjoy the same kind of firsts repeatedly because I watch so many kids. Yesterday, Georgia said "bye bye" for the first time. It was pretty cute. And oh, one of my other more recent favorites was when Eleanor saw a rainbow for the first time. "Look at those colors!"

Something I had not anticipated, however, was the monumental firsts that I would get to experience dating my 24 year old boyfriend, Marc. In the last month and a half, he's had some big ones....

Marc's First Slurpee! I had him layer it to get the full experience. He later tried not to finish it, but I insisted he use the spoon part of the straw. Again, I felt he needed to get the full experience. It also helped that it was ridiculously late at night and we needed to drop something off for a friend an hour away! This was just before I found out I had mono...so I was sleeping most of the ride in the passenger seat. :) (Note: Marc has since had another Slurpee...success!)















Marc's First Time Up the Space Needle! Our first attempt was planned for just before Marc's birthday dinner, but when it started raining ridiculously like no other, we decided it was better to postpone. We finally made it this weekend! We had lots of fun followed up by walking around Seattle Center in which time Marc concocted a plan to get to the top of the big half-ball looking fountain. You know the one. The International Fountain is the actual name I do believe. He'll need two other people. He claims all three of you will be up there in three minutes, tops! So if you are interested, he's looking. Yep, that's my boyfriend! (Note: I know. The pictures are a wee bit lame because I don't have a super cool camera so you can't see all of the pretty city lights. We took a picture for another couple with a nice camera and reviewing the image just kind of rubbed it in after trying 800 different things for who knows how long on my camera.)














And here is me with Marc, sharing in the moment...
















And for some recent shout outs:
-Happy Birthday Britta!
-Happy Birthday Aliscia!
-Congrats to the newlyweds, Andy & Jenn!
