Chapter 45: Fourth of July

Thai Tom is near the university and is supposed to have the best Thai food in Seattle. Now all the reviews say that the food is great but the service isn't always good. So I suppose if you are in the Seattle area check it out and let me know what ya think.

They cook it right there in front of you. Now that's a fire!

I had to use this outfit. It is really sexy and looks casual enough to be worn at a BBQ. Of course I have her hair in a tight pony tail so Edward can play with it *wink, wink*

You know I like this pic cause she exudes the confidence my Bella has in herself.

Well, I have a soft spot for Cannes Rob so I had to use. He is scrumptious is he not?

One more of Cannes Rob because well, look at that smirk. Need I say more?

I went with some Adventureland pics for college Bella cause they sort of fit the style I was looking for.

All attitude in this pic. "yes or no"

Confident, taking care of business.

Chapter 44: Edward's Birthday

Okay, I am generally partial to Rob's version but they are at a Marcus Foster concert so I thought it appropriate to use Marcus' version, especially since he wrote it...LOL... plus, Kristen does make a cameo in the video.

Berlin Rob was *sigh* so had to use this suit for his B-Day.

This is from her Glamour UK photoshoot. I like this dress because it is dressy enough to go out in but still sexy which is a must for my Bella.

Here is an outside pic of the Triple Door. This is a smaller venue for up and coming artists and local talent. It would be the type of venue that Marcus would play at, well IMHO that is.

Here is a picture of the main stage at the Triple Door.

This is where our peeps were sitting, cause the boys really hooked him up. Talk about front and center!

Here is the bracelet Bella got him, front is engraved with Isabella and the back says "I belong to you, Always"

Chapter 43: Graduation

Okay, not sure what grandpa didn't like about this outfit because he looks completely edible to me.

Ah, I love this dress. It is sophisticated but yet very sexy.

First Edition Copy of Ernest Hemingway's classic novel that follows the story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an anti fascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. If you haven't read this it is a must, IMHO it is Hemingway's greatest novel.

In case you are curious how to tell a first edition it should have the publisher's seal on the copyright page and an A underneath the copyright jargon.

Okay, here is the video from when Rob was on Jimmy Kimmel, 11/9/11...
"I am a butt double for a lot of different actors"
"I want there to be mayhem!"
"Just the tip!"
"A cancerous owl"

Chapter 41: Dinner with Friends

I have seen Boney James perform and he is phenomenal. One thing I miss about Cali is being able to see live Jazz performances. Small sacrifice for clean air, open spaces, and NO traffic :-)

 So Beautiful

Ride

Boney James (2001)

Thought I would give you some pics of Emmett & Rosalie and Jasper & Alice. I know you already know what they look like but I really liked these pics.

Okay, I know this is Nikki versus Rosalie but use you're imagination and picture her with blond hair. Cause these pics of Nikki seriously capture my Rosalie's attitude :-)

Ahhhh, Kellan is Nom, Nom, Nom!

One more of Kellan & Nikki *sigh*

Jackson & Ashley as Jasper & Alice... They are just too cute!

Ahhh, love me some Jackson!

Hmmm... lovey dovey :-)

Chapter 39: The Edgewater Hotel

The Edgewater Hotel on Pier 67

Another exterior shot of the Hotel

The front of the hotel. Yes, that is a real fireplace on the outside of the hotel

A standard room at the the Edgewater. Yes, Bella would not have checked into a suite. She is a little more practical than that :-)

Even the standard rooms have fireplaces though.

And last but not least, my sweet and loveable Art.

Chapter 30: Restaurant and James

Here is an outside pic of the resturant Edward took Bella to.

Nice pic of the view at night. You know I like them night shots.

The Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail... Ummmm, YUM!!!

This isn't the exact one served at Daniels Broiler but it is a "Molten Volcano" cake with vanilla ice cream. So now all we need is Edward to feed it to us :-)

Here is James. I selected Julian McMahan because a) he fits the age range, b) he is handsome and c) he can play crazy damn good!

As I said, he can play fierce when he wants to. I just thought it was time you all had a visual of James since he seems to keep popping up.

Chapter 29: Pike's Place

Well, I decided to honor all my Aussie friends by using AustralianRob. You heard of the expression, a tall drink of water, hmmmmm.

This was my first attempt at using Polyvore but I really liked this ensemble. It's not necessarily sexy but ya know, sometimes not sexy really IS sexy.

Here is a view of the Lisa Harris Gallery which really exists and the Thomas Wood exhibit was actually on display during November of 2010.

Sailboat-Heavy Clouds, oil, 18x24, $3500

Yes, that is what it cost. When I was looking at all the pictures from the exhibit, which are fantastic by the way, this one really stuck out for me. What do you see when you look at this painting?

Ahhh, Anyone in the mood for French food?????If I add a French speaking Edward would you be game?????

This is the table they ate at. Sunset over the Bay is always beautiful don't you think?

Here is another view of the Bay from the resturant.
