Life is good. It really is. I don't hate my job, I actually just got a raise :) I have started doing things with my friends instead of being a hermit and I found someone that can do my hair. (all of the important things in life right?) But for reals I am quite content with life right now. What has been happening as of late? Well...I have still been working a lot. Leaving my house at 5:45am and getting home at 5:45pm is not the funnest thing in the world. But it makes the weeks go fast so that I get to the good stuff...the weekend :) I love and super love having Friday off every week. It is soooo nice. This last weekend I was able to go over to Seattle with my friend Joanna. It was so much fun! We stayed with my old roommate Jamie. It was a blast to see her and hang out. Who knew that you could have so much fun just a short drive away. It did however remind me that I am getting old...I was/am still SOOOO tired. Friday and Saturday night we didn't get to bed till around 2am. That in and of itself should be fine but the problem is that I can't sleep in anymore :( I super love to sleep in. Seriously. It was one of my talents. But apparently that is in my past. I can't sleep in later than 7:30. 
Oh well...anyway... what I did while I was over there. We went to Pike Place Market. Honestly this is one of my favorite places in all of Seattle. We got a huge boquet of tulips and daffodils for Jamie for letting us stay at her place. They were amazing! Then we spent some time down on the Pier. We got the Seattle City Pass (Which BTW is awesome) so we took the harbor cruise. It was fun to play the tourist. After that we ate at the Crab Pot. I have always wanted to eat there but never really had anyone that wanted to go with me (or the $$ to shell out for it) So I decided that this was the trip I would do it. It was amazing. Plus what grown adult doesn't want to wear a big bib. After that we went to the Space Needle. We went around 9pm. It was fantastic! We were able to see the city all lit up and it wasn't too busy. We sat up there for a while visiting in the lounge. We stayed till they closed at 10. Then we went over to Alki Beach. It was beautiful. It was however a little freezing. So we didn't stay too long. The next stop was to see the troll (or Ogre) under the bridge. I have always wanted to see him because of his appearance in 10 things I hate about you. It was awesome! After that we decided to call it a night. The next morning we went and did a session at
the Seattle Temple. It was cool to go through a session there because it was my first temple. After that we went over to Experience the Music Project and the Sci-Fi Museum. To be honest...I didn't care for EMP but I did like the Sci Fi Museum. I am pretty sure though that if I didn't have the CityPass I would have been mad that I "wasted" my money. After that we took another ride up the Space Needle to see the view in the daylight. Then it was off to the Pacific Science Center...man...that place is old! It smelled weird and was quite lame...but we saw an Imax movie about Mars...it was alright...kinda reminded me of my mission (Imax movies were everyone's favorite P-day activity) By that time Joanna and I were exhausted...so we went over to UW campus and met up with one of Joanna's friends and had some Thai food for dinner . It was delicious. After that we headed back over to Jamie's house to take a much needed nap! We hadn't quite decided what we wanted to do that night. We wanted to find a good Jazz club to go 
to but didn't want to spend a billion dollars. So we dolled up, bought a couple rockstars and headed back into the city. We went past the jazz club and saw that everyone coming in and out was dressed up much more than we were...so we decided to drive around and see what else we could do. It was quite fun to just drive around and people watch. :) After much contemplation (and several laps around downtown) we decided to go get dessert at the Hard Rock Cafe. After that we decided we should call it a night.The next morning we packed up and made it back for church in Kennewick. Phew...are you tired just reading it? I am! Anyway...It was fun. I loved it! I think I really needed it too!

Sounds like an amazing time!! Glad you could go do that. Keep blogging! :)
Hey their beautiful! Looks like fun. Would've more fun with a side-trip down to Puyallup. Don't worry, Mo told me all your blah blah excuses. :-) No really, no worries. You made up for it when I read your roommate blog. Even though you hated to do dishes, you loved to cook and that was fun to have you cook for us every once in a while.
