Don't let the lizard die!!

I think we should try to keep Jessica's Lizard alive even though its purpose has been served. Since there's always a slim chance that ANYONE will answer their phone when I call, I figured we could all keep in touch at our own convenience, via the JL.

Since I've come back to ol' rainy Seattle, our friends Steve and Sarah got engaged. We planned to go on a scavenger hunt in Seattle to get to know the area and it entailed about 50+ locations with questions to answer on the scavenger sheet. Each question offered a variety of points and at the end of the hunt whomever's team had the highest points would win. Prior to the hunt, Steve and the event coordinator planted a 10'x 3' sign, asking for Sarah's hand in marriage, on a bridge at the University of Washington. The question on the scavenger hunt read, "What does the sign on the W bridge say?" As we walked up to the bridge Sarah started crying and then of course, the waterfalls hit me too. It was sweet, and she said YES. I have a short video and pictures of their visit at: http://family.webshots.com/album/571507095mJZtDu

We also explored the infamous Pike Street Market and saw the "flying fish". While everyone excitedly congregated around the stinky piles of fish I was trying to weave my way out of the crowd to avoid a king salmon slapping me in the face. Ick

Anyways, I'm hoping we can webcam for Mother's Day, so I'm not sure what was planned for mom, but be prepared to talk to me too!
