a ray of sunshine....

Sometimes when you are at your lowest, the simplest things can help you remember the happy times...like attending a wedding. This weekend we made the trek to Bellingham for the wedding of Michael & Kristine Mauss (don't you just love her name?!) Not only was it a beautiful wedding and fun reception (Tim got to bartend on his birthday - what could be better for him....he got to be around beer all night long and 200+ people sang "Happy Birthday" to him) but Tom Mauss provided just the break that I needed. He got the Garden Suite at the Hotel Bellwether on Bellingham Bay for Tim and I. It was amazing! A beautiful setting and oh so relaxing....just what the doctor ordered! The scenic photo is the view (about 25 yards) from our patio. The other photos are some of my favorties from the evening! The last photo is from our stroll around the marina this morning before heading back to real life at home. It was a WONDERFUL escape - even if just for 24 hours!
