Of floors and thunderstorms

This weekend we went to Seattle to help my college roommate, Wendy, and her husband with their new house. They are currently living between houses... I was helping pack and clean at the old house while Brian and Wendy's dad were mowing and figuring out how to put in a wood laminate floor at the new house. We did get quite a bit done over the weekend, including the whole floor in the master bedroom (that's the only place it's going) and it does look really nice.

There was a really pretty rainbow on Friday afternoon and then a crazy cool thunderstorm complete with hail on Sunday afternoon! They really do live out in the country - we got woken up by a rooster every morning and there are horses next to the backyard.

Of course the weekend wouldn't have been complete without a trip to IKEA... we even managed not to buy anything (other than lunch and cookies) although we did find a nice crib that we may purchase later.
