Evening with the Close's

Ever since Jake and I moved here to Washington, we have been trying to get our friends and family up here too. All those who know Jake also know that he can be very persuasive. Mainly because he never lets up! Well, one of our friends actually took the bait and moved up here a couple months ago. Clark has been one of Jake's best friends since they met at Ricks their Freshman year. They were roommates after their mission too, and when Jake and I were dating, I remember actually competing with Clark for Jake's attention. Thank goodness Clark and his wonderful wife, Lisa, got married 3 weeks after us, so Jake didn't have to choose any more. Clark works in Enumclaw as a City Planner, while Lisa works at a Dental office. Constance is their vivacious 4 year old, and they are having a baby boy due Nov. 17th. We try to get together as often as we can. It has been nice to have a couple we can hang out with that feels like family. We went to their apartment Friday night. While Jake and Clark played Halo 3, the moms watched the kids (like always). One of these days, the girls will be out playing something while the boys do the watching. But, it was a great night filled with shopping, pizza, and fun.We didn't get home until about 11:00 pm, but the kids were so wound up you wouldn't have even noticed. So. . . if anyone else wants to move up here, this is what you have in store!!


The kids played horsey. This is Taylee thinking she can actually hold Constance on her back. Well, she had fun trying!

This is the way it should be. Hold on Rohne!

Constance was quite proud of her "bruteness" to carry both kids
