1st Sounders Game of the 2010 Season

On March 25th Dan and I attended the first Sounders game of the 2010 Season. We signed up for season tickets again this year and are so excited the season has finally kicked off. Unfortunately it rained most of the game...at least we won the game 2-0 against the new expansion team - Philadelphia Union.

Legally Blonde

On March 9th Amy, Mom, and I had a fun evening watching Legally Blonde The Musical at the 5th Ave. Theater. She show was so cute and very girly...a perfect girls night out on the town!!

Oscar Party

On March 9th I threw my second annual small Oscar party at the Rossi house. This year Dan and I were joined by Amy and Donnie. We started the evening at The Counter in Ballard...the best new "build your own burger" joint in town. During dinner we each filled out our Oscar Ballots. Before the Oscars started I revealed the prizes: Season 1 and 2 of the Cosby Show, The Proposal movie, Lady Antebellum CD, and 6 months subscription to Entertainment weekly Magazine. Each person won a prize with the first place winner picking first followed by the 2nd and so on. During the Oscars we also played Oscar Bingo for a few small movie prizes. We had a great time. I was the BIG winner of the evening and picked The Proposal...Dan won the Cosby show...Amy won Lady Antebellum and Donnie took home the magazine. Can't wait for next years party.

Chicago at the Paramount

On March 3rd Dan and I attended Chicago at the Paramount. The show was fabulous and starred John O'hurley...he was great!!

Dan will probably kill me for posting this, but I am a proud wife :) Dan won 2009 Online Salesperson of the Year at the Times!! Congrats Dan!! I love You...xoxo!

Vancouver 2010 Olympics

We can now officially check "Winter Olympics" off of our bucket list!! On Feb. 27th we attended the Men's Bronze Medal Curling event at the Olympics in Vancouver. We all agreed that this day turned out to be one of the most amazing days of memory!!! The curling event started at 9am, so we left our house in seattle at 4:45am. We had no problems crossing the border (a 2 minute wait if that). We parked a bit outside the city at a Park and Ride and rode their new Canada Line metro system all day...we made it to our event with plenty of time to spare and enjoyed the day at a nice pace. It couldn't have been easier. The curling event was awesome. It came down to the last curl (I hope I am saying that right) with Switzerland beating out Sweden. The crowd went wild. I had my new camera with me and figured out the video feature just in time for the ending...you can see it below. After the event we spent the day downtown walking around, people watching, shopping, eating, and visiting the Cauldron. We left around 10pm after dinner in Yale town and since Dan drove us up, I drove us back and we got home around 1am (again with no border problems). It was such a fun day that I wish we could do it all over again!! Maybe next time we can cross Summer Olympics off the bucket list...you never know with the Rossis!!

It was a rainy day

Belated Valentine's Day

Since Dan and I were in Mt. Hood with the gang over Valentine's Day we decided to have a little belated Valentine's Day on Feb. 21st. We spent the morning opening a few V-day gifts before heading over to Queen Anne for a little breakfast at the 5 Spot. The day was absolutely gorgeous so we headed down to Kerry park with Rufus for a little walk on Queen Anne. This February day felt like Spring with flowers already in bloom!

Vancouver Olympics here we come!! Tickets to Men's Bronze Medal Curling!!
