Visit from Alaskan Cruisers

Yesterday, our friends Amy and Brandon flew up from Texas and they visited us before their big cruise up to Alaska on the Holland America cruise ship, the Noordam. (As a random aside, Matt and I once had lunch on the sister ship, the Oosterdam, while it was docked here in Seattle. Just fabulous!)

We hired a sitter last night and enjoyed a scrumptious Pacific northwest style dinner at the Yarrow Bay Grill on the waterfront in Kirkland. And too bad the weather was so cold and cloudy -- we had a perfect seat for a sunset!

It was SOOO good to visit and catch up. Amy and I became friends back when we were 19 -- on a mission trip to Jamaica with our church college group. We later became pledge sisters, and the fun continued from there. Great memories! Amy was up here in seattle 3 years ago when she worked for Women of Faith. but the last time Matt and I saw them both was when we were down off the water in south Texas and we had to help board everything up for a looming hurricane before heading back to Houston. Boy that's been too long!
