Its been a few...

Well, It has been a few weeks since my last post, but I just feel like I have been so busy! I can't play around on the Internet like I could my last job. In fact, I can't even check my email! I don't even watch my weekly shows anymore! Anyways, a couple of updates:

I still really like my job. I got my first pay check, which I liked even more!!

The pictures below, I took last Monday on my day off. I woke up and it was the clearest day in Seattle since I came here. I drove to West Seattle (which is like 10 minutes away) to take some pictures for all of those who have never been to WA. It only took my about an hour to get there. I guess I should have googled it before trying to venture out! The pictures don't do justice being that they shrunk to the size of a peanut after trying to post them, but anyway it was really pretty!

I booked a short trip home for my birthday on March 13 - 16. I am planning on going out to dinner with my parents on Friday, March 14Th to celebrate my dad and my birthday (same day - March 14) and then head up to the good old InnKahoots! I hope everyone can join us up there for the festivities! I mean...who wouldn't want to spend their birthday at InnKahoots??

I am also super excited because I am going to Vegas for the first time in May for my friend Ananda and Elias's Wedding. I went dress shopping at Davids Bridal on Saturday and got my bridesmaid dress - which is SUPER cute!

On Sunday, I helped Carley build a computer. (okay so she just told me what to do!) It was pretty cool though. She explained the "components" of the computer in my language. "THIS IS KINDA LIKE THE BRAIN, AND THEN IT GOES HERE WHICH IS LIKE THE HIGHWAY, ETC" Then it got to the wiring it all and then I had enough!

It snowed last night...umm like maybe an inch! The whole city stopped and only 4 people made it to work. When I got into my car this morning it was 33 degrees - not even that cold! But they don't have plows and the hills are really what makes it hard to drive. When I walk to work everyday from the ramp, I have to walk up what in MN we would call a "bunny hill or even a green" in skiing terms. It isn't so bad, but it can be a bitch going back down in high heels!!

Other news....I GOT A WASHINGTON STATE LICENSE PLATE TODAY!! It has a mountain on it and I like it!!!

I am feeling pretty good about myself here. Maybe it is the fact that I don't eat a lot of meat (oh- and I will never eat salami again!!! GROSS! BAD EXPERIENCE!!!) Or maybe it is the fact that Carley and Megan have me being super environmentally friendly - I have my own bag when I go to the grocery store so I don't use plastic bags! But at the end of the day, it feels better knowing you did something better for the environment. EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT!! I have gotten quotes and hopefully this week will be joining the gym. Maybe I feel better because I was so scared of the unknown and am now living the unknown and realizing it isn't soooo scary! Or maybe...It is just that time heals and you start to feel better!
