We got married!

On September 14th, on a boat on the Puget Sound surrounded by our families, Dustin and I got married. My father was the officiant in his capacity as an ordained Dudeist Priest, and he scripted a fantastic ceremony that we really loved. My sister Maddie served as photographer, running around taking pictures and video using no less than three different cameras. I wore a Marimekko dress I fell in love with on the very first dress-shopping trip we took, accessorized by locally designed shoes and a handmade scarf and headband. Dustin wore an APC suit that he had tailored by some adorable old ladies in Ballard. (Both are investment outfits we hope to wear again and again in the future!)

Overall everything went wonderfully and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding. We had a TON of fun in the days surrounding the wedding as well, more on that soon!

Port Townsend - part 2

More pictures from Port Townsend trip - this is the day we went on the whale watching tour. We saw a few gray whales, California sea lions, and Steller sea lions (pictured last). My new binocoluars were pretty sweet too.

Rowen and boats

A recent walk around Lake Union, and a few more recent Rowen pictures.

today we saw some boats

Arctic Loon, the cutest boat.


Arden, a rusty, ye olde English-y boat.


Thor, the awesomest boat. It's like if brutalism was a boat.


Enterprise and Al Hana Leviathan II.


A handy SPECIES chart.

We walked along some piers at Fisherman's Termnial, off of the ship canal we live next to. We had a really mediocre dinner at a seafood place here but the boats made up for it. Especially Thor.
