This dude bumped me when I was taking the picture, so it’s a little blurry… Nonetheless we had an awesome dinner at List tonight. The food was great and I loved the red chandies lighting the place. Gorgeous! And, if you go there use the bathroom… Heated toilet seats holla!
For Halloween this year, we decided to bot it up. Of course we couldn’t just be normal robots, our robots had to have themes! So introducing…
Diggy the Booze Bot, Ryan the Binary Bot and… Kris & Kevin the human killing robots (thank you those of you who got the Flight of the Conchords reference!).
I admit, I went a little overboard with my face paint. But in my defense it was an accident! I put just a little silver shimmer on my face at first, but when attempting to put the silver color in my hair I spilled it on half my face… so I just decided to go for it!
We went to a crazy Halloween party called Hive-Mind. One of Kevin’s friends he worked with a MSFT has been putting this party on for 15 years! When he started it the party was a 20-person house party now it brings in over 1,300 people and raises money for charity. As I accidentally said, and Kevin never let me live down… the party was off the hook! Yeah, I have no idea how ‘off the hook’ came out of my mouth. In any case, the party was like a multiple room rave (I’ve never been to a rave but I imagine it like this) and even spanned outside and came complete with a taco wagon for hungry Halloween drunkies.
It was off the hook. :)
During the conference and trade show we had a costume party… we dressed up 70’s disco fever! Comfiest Halloween costume ever.
On the ‘DC Lights’ tour in front of the capitol building with a couple of my favorite conference friends.
When I was in DC for a conference/trade show and I got the chance to see my friend Meghan who I lived with in Nice. Meghan, Angela and I lived in a teeny 700 square foot one-bedroom apartment, but it was on the beach so we thought it was worth it. Needless to say we got to know each other really well! I haven’t seen Meghan in over seven years, it was so great to catch up with her. We went to dinner at a French restaurant, naturally. If ever in DC and you’re craving a Frenchy place, Bistrot du Coin seriously feels like Paris, I loved it!
Here is me and Meghan at dinner… (I really want to Photoshop out the fool in the background!)
And for old times sake here is me, Meghan and Angela circa 2002 on the beach in Nice…
For our one-year Conversion Day anniversary Kevin took me to a great night at Willows Lodge in Woodinville.
He had every single detail set perfectly. We checked in, had just enough time to get ready and get the sailing seawater off of us, then head down to the Fireside Cellar in the hotel to have a wine tasting. After our tasting, we headed over to the Barking Frog for a RIDICULOUSly good dinner. Not just sorta good, but SO SO good. If you haven’t been I highly recommend it. It was the perfect Krev-iversary dinner spot. The next day Kevin had massages set up for us at the hotel Spa. We ended the weekend with lunch at Purple and then a quick tasting at Novelty Hill. Perfection!
P.S. Check out my new anniversary purse! Pretty huh?!
The Rum Run girls
Heading into the raft-up at Port Madison
Yay! We got the black duck!

Ready for Rum Run!!
Saturday’s Rum Run race proved that we are NOT fair weather sailors. We sailed over to Bainbridge Island in the rain, 30 knot winds and 4 feet waves. Luckily, we had this ridiculous boat - Sound Effect - a 38.5’ DuFour. It was luxurious to say the least. It had two steering wheels, because one is just not enough.
Even though we started the race about 3 minutes late, we ended up passing about 4 people and didn’t come in last! We were ecstatic. We even won the black duck!
