Sunday Dinner

This last Sunday we had our parents and my sister and Ivan over for Maui steaks. If you've never had a Maui steak you are missing out. This little grocery store on the North side of Spokane tenderizes and marinades steaks in this Maui marinade. They are so sweet and easy to chew...they are good! We also had horseradish mashed potatoes, jello, pasta salad, deviled eggs and brownies. It was an awesome dinner! Before everyone sat down for dinner John and I took off our sweatshirts and revealed our new t-shirts, mine said "I'm pregnant" and John's said "I got her pregnant". It took awhile for everyone to notice but they finally did. My mom freaked out, jumped up and down, screamed...the usual. John's parents were smiling and speechless, they were very excited too. So that was the real reason we had everyone over for dinner, to announce our soon to be new addition.

Whistler, BC

Ok so I know it's been awhile, but I suck at blogging:) We went to Whistler, BC a few weekends ago and we had a blast. The sun was out and it was pretty warm outside. We went with John's brother Dan, his girlfriend Kathy, Dan Irish, Nordy, Elondros, Wade and Amy. The first day we all went up to the mountain and of course rode the Peak to Peak gondola, which is amazing by the way. If you don't know what I am talking about, the Peak to Peak is a gondola that goes from the top of Whistler mountain to the top of Blackcomb mountain. Which means that you can ski or snowboard on two mountains the same day for the price of one! Anyway it was cool. The next day everyone went up again and I stayed down and had a spa day. It was awesome. I slept in walked to a local bakery and had breakfast and then went to the hardest yoga class I have ever been to. I was twisting my body in ways that I didn't think I could twist too, and most of the time I fell over, but it was still fun. After my yoga class I sat in a steam shower and then got a massage. After the massage I walked back to the room, dropped my stuff off and went to a burrito place for lunch. The burrito was amazing, I can't decide if the massage was better of the burrito :) By the time I was done eating everyone else was back from the mountain and we went shopping and got some dinner. Since the Olypmics is going to be there next year they had a ton of apparel for it. The next day John, Nordy and I went shopping around in the village. If you have never been to Whistler you should go...I've been in the summer and winter (I like the summer better, mostly because I like warmth) and both times it was beautiful. The drive suckz though. From Spokane to Whistler it took us 11 hours (we did stop and shop a few times, but not for very long) so the driving took up two full days, but it was worth it.
