Wow, I have been so busy these past three weeks that I haven't been able to udate at all! Today however is a fitting day for an update, so brace yourself- its an exciting one...!

September 5th~ packed up all my stuff and headed to Spokane to move in for school. We got to the hotel, went to Red Robin for dinner, and returned to the hotel to sleep!

Ok, so I want to travel so much more than I have, and yet, I have to realize I've been to places people haven't been to, so I should feel lucky, but still- here's a map of all 6 countries I've visited...it makes my traveling experience so insignificant looking, and yet I've loved every trip...

So this past week has been so busy, but great. Here's the gist of what happened.

Monday~ Dentist appt...pretty boring...then went back to work...

Tuesday~ Took a field trip to Lakemont park in two shifts, and I was the one who knew all the shortcuts since I live close to it compared to everyone else, so they sent me back to lead the second group ( Read more... )

7 more days of work...it's sad but the countdown is on, because I am getting to the end of my patience with some of those little monsters...!

More importantly, today makes the 1 year mark of Brooke Johnson's accident...it's weird to think it's been a year-I drove by and there was a bouquet of flowers at the spot. It was really sad. I hope her ( Read more... )

Lance Armstrong has won the Tour de France yet again- Woohoo! I love watching the race trying to recognize all the little villages and stuff- it definately brings me back!

I had so much stuff planned to do this weekend, and I feel like I've maybe only gotten less than half of it done- where does the time go?! I know I still have most of today, but I just hate how the work week feels like forever and the weekend just flies by, and so I sit here not wanting it to be Monday tomorrow!

Well, I better get going on those ( Read more... )

So last week was really great- I had my vacation week off from work, so I got a break from the little kids. Meanwhile, our friends from Texas came, and it was really fun. The first half of the time we did stuff in the Seattle area, like EMP and much more, and then the second half we went to Orcas Island. We had beautiful weather, we saw whales on ( Read more... )
