Updates.




Hey Everyone!

Things are going well here in Bellevue. Jay and I are enjoying our time here and it has been quite nice out and only recently became more Fall like weather...which we don't mind too much as it is Fall after all. Jay's work at the Training Facility and helping with a couple of basketball teams in the Bellevue area is going just GREAT! Lots of teams seem to be very interested in Jay doing some coaching for them and lots of training to be had, as the basketball season approaches quickly.

Last weekend we took our first "Road Trip" since we moved here, down to Eugene, OR. We had a wonderful time for Matt and Patty Short's wedding, Matt was a teammate of Jay's at the U of O. The weekend was absolutely lovely! We first started the weekend out with a U of O Volleyball game...which was awesome to see them play U of Washington (just around the corner of our house)! Although they lost, it was really fun to watch because the team is VERY good. Ending the evening with some lovely sushi from the Sushi Station in Eugene....HIGHLY recommend!

The next morning we got up and had some quick breakfast and off to Autzen Stadium for the big game, U of O versus Cal! It was beautiful day and Jay and I forgot to wear sunscreen....it is now Wednesday evening and we are still looking a little on the pink-side. The Ducks totally owned the football game and I was finally able to see Autzen full of crazy football fans! What a great facility! That evening Jay and I headed up to "Sweet Cheeks" Winery just outside of Eugene for the Rehearsal for the wedding. We were a little early and we decided to do a wine tasting....GREAT idea and the wine was very good. We bought a bottle of the Rosey Cheeks!

Sunday morning breakfast at the Lucky Noodle, YUM! We spent a beautiful day at the vineyard preparing for the gorgeous evening wedding looking out on the hills/mountains of Oregon. I had a lovely chat and tea with a great lady named Lisa Johnson, check out her business Reach Group Consulting. She has also written multiple books and a well known speaker. What an amazing woman to visit with, inspiring to say the least. Lisa's husband was also part of the wedding party and this was how we became friends on Saturday. The wedding was beautiful and so were the Bride and Groom, it was really beautiful weekend.
