Bicoastal Babe

Now I'm back from a week long trip. I was literally bicoastal, going from Seattle to North Carolina. Both states I've never visited before (Gawd, I love my job!) and both absolutely stunning.

It was too cloudy in Seattle to see "the mountain", which is what they call Ranier but I still saw other mountains and the gorgeous trees. And, true to form it rained. The. Entire. Time. Well, until we boarded the plan. Then it stopped.


North Carolina was warm (almost 80 degrees!!) and the people are supa-dupa friendly. I also saw a cotton plantation. Who knew those existed outside of Georgia? Cotton plants actually look like white flowers from far away.
DH picked me up from the airport and told me he had a surprise at home for me because it was officially 1 week before my birthday. We grabbed lunch and when we got home he told me he had hidden little presents all over our living room: "like Easter". So fun! Check it out:

"I Love You Cherry Much" t-shirt...
Nail polishes...
Something to exercise my mind...
A "construction zone" for my desk at work ;-)...

Keychain...

Homemade doggie treat kit...


Magnet...


... and more stuff I'm probably forgetting.

We also have a new obsession. We've been reading the book Twilight before bed. Together. Yep, just like old people. Sooo good!
