David, Noel's bro, is arriving from the Philippines tomorrow!

So I've been, we've been, so busy lately...crazy at work, crazy at play! Saturday, all day in Bothell for a 11am Caleb soccer game, then 3:30pm Jordan soccer game...and in between a glamorous lunch with my sis, mom and 3 nephews at Canyon Park Applebee's...you know, that suburban pub/grill with the talking Wanda Sikes black-lady-talking-red-apple. (I hate that campaign). Then Saturday night, Heidi & Andy and Noel & I had drinkies and appies, as a sort of subtle housewarming at Terry's semi-new place on 50th by the zoo... Sunday morning we went for a run then a grocery store run to our favorite ghetto Uwajimaya's called HT (in the old Larry's Market at Oak Tree)...we needed to go there to get the ingredients to make the best Pancit I have ever had... We went over to Sharon Kitashima's house by 3pm that day to carve pumpkins with her boys, Kai and Kegan, along with her hubby Rick. Jo and Lynn too, and Tracy with her little adorable baby Chloe (us with her in the photo above)...it was good times had by all and I carved the coolest pumpkin, that I stole from a Martha Stewart idea...a raven in a bird cage. (see image to right...cool, huh?)

So last night, Monday, free movie preview of "The Boy with the Striped Pajamas" ...an amazing holocast movie. < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5FU-yDC-uI . . . http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914798/ > Tonight, Tuesday, we met up in Pioneer Square for Mel's birthday. We had gumbo and good laughs at New Orleans pub and restaurant. There was a live jazz band which was fun... < http://www.neworleanscreolerestaurant.com/ >

...And tomorrow David, Noel's brother, arrives from Philippines, via a 5 day stay in Virginia. Then on Friday Clarissa, Noel's sister comes up from LA. I haven't met any of his family yet, and I am a little nervous...but intrigued. I am dying to know this part of my BF! Stay tuned for more info soon. (wish me luck)
