Gregg got some wonderful presents from people at work.  We got a Tom Tom from his general manager, Pam.  That was quite generous and very much appreciated.  Things are changing here so quickly.  Google doesn’t even have my address in their system and my navigation system doesn’t show half of the streets.  This GPS system is awesome. 

His boss got us a gift certificate for Rudys!  The best brisket and BBQ in town.  Oh man their potato salad is to die for.  Thank god we didn’t live here when I was pregnant.  This was the first meal I had when I pulled into town.  His sales person got us a gift certificate for McCormick and Schmicks.  Gregg hates fish but I love this place.  Oh I can’t wait to get a babysitter.

As I said things are changing so quickly here.  When I lived here last time there was literaly nothing here.  2 months after I moved they opened the outlet mall and Ikea.  Now there is a great variety and they are stil growing.  They are building two more shopping centers on either side of the outlet mall.  One of the pad sites has a new French bakery/cafe.  We also got a big movie theatre, Chillis and Fridays.  Oh the jalapeno cheese fries with the jalapeno ranch dressing is to die for.  The habanero ribs will make you die if you eat them.  Good idea not to order a margarita when eating the habanero!  Any way there is so much growth that we are all excited waiting to see which sign will go up on the next building.  There is a Steak and Shake going in down the street.  I don’t know what that is but I hear they are yummy!

I’m going xmas shopping now.  Wish me luck!  Carol has already beat me out of the house and to the stores!
