Seattle Brings a Sweet Reunion

Last weekend I got the chance to fly to Seattle, Washington for the first time to meet up with a roommate! It was such a fun weekend!! Cortney picked me up around noon and then we went back to her place and got settled in for a while. Then we went to a cute little theme park Wild Waves!! We hit some fun roller coasters and had a gay ol' time!







Then we hit up the OG (olive garden) for some dinner and then headed back to play with Hayley Cortney's little sister. I ended up being really lame and falling asleep early because all of the traveling wore me out!

The next day we went to the heart of the city of Seattle. We went to Pike's Place a little farmers market type of place! It was soo crowded. I forgot how much I didn't like big cities and people constantly bumping in to me!! Excuse you!!! We then hit up a little shopping that night and when we got home we watched some tv and i fell asleep early again! We went to church Sunday, Cortney packed. I slept. Then we enjoyed a family dinner with all of the Pikes! It was sooo fun to sit at a dinner table with their family!






We also got the chance to go to the Space Needle. Its absolutely gorgeous!! We aren't able to go up but it was still fun to see.








Monday morning came too soon.... I woke up at 3 after going to bed a bit later than i should have due to a few texts being exchanged the previous night...... you know who you are. So I showered to wake up, we packed up the car and we were on our way by 4AM!!! I learned that stuff from my Daddy! "Leave early get, there early." easy enough concept right?! So we grabbed some energy drinks at the gas station and embarked on our 12 hour drive back to Rexburg!






We are very happy to be back and be settled in our apartment!! All in all it was a very fun/fast/tiring weekend!! I'm happy to be reunited with my CoCo again!!

CRAFTY!!

I recently found out that one of my roommates would be moving out.... and in finding this out we realized she'd be taking all of the furniture with her!!! So........ I bought a new couch, a few dining room chairs, a TV stand, and an arm chair!! I refinished the table and reupholstered the arm chair... but in doing this I have decided instead of reupholstering the couch I'm just going use a couch cover! Too much work for not enough time!! I also made a curtain type separator for our kitchen since we have washer and dryer hook ups but no washer and dryer we use the extra space for storage... but now it is hidden!!! I'm still working on my dining room chairs... and next on my list to find is a dining room table!!! I'm having soo much fun redoing our apartment!! I can't wait for my roommates to join me soon and then we can start the fall off with a house warming party!!

Seven week break!

Well... the seven week break so far has been more eventful then I had ever imagined...


Week ONE: Boredom has struck! Luckily Britney Keeler came to visit me for the weekend!!! YAY I wished there were more exciting things for her to do.. but considering everyone had skipped town we were pretty lame... we did do a little dancing that Friday night and then hit the lake hard on Saturday!






Week TWO: She left me Sunday morning and the boredom came back.....
LUCKILY... there was a World Dance Festival that came to town so I went to the street fair and then enjoyed a live dance from the USA group. It was very enjoyable. I met a few new friends there and hung out with them for the following week. We went and saw the new Batman and it was really good!!

Week THREE: Back to the old grind at work... okay not really I did a LOT of playing... catching up on some needed sleep and watching plenty of OTH(one tree hill, duh)!! And then..... my life CHANGED!!! The 4th book in the Twilight series came out and i spent all of my time READING IT!! I was hooked from page one!!


Week FOUR: I continued to be glued to my book... only stopping for food and a Facebook break! Sadly when Wednesday of that week hit it was all over....... I thought for sure i'd have nothing to live for... but luckily I was headed to Provo the following day to help Britney pack to move home, go to a few wedding receptions with Mikey and to reunite with my EMILY! Thursday and Friday nights were filled with wedding receptions! BORING!!! But Mike and I found ways to have fun... I mostly just played with his Iphone (and now I want one!!) Saturday I was reunited with EMILY and we spent the whole day just chillin' not really doing much of anything. Saturday night we went dancing and met up with some friends! Then I came back to Rexburg yesterday....






Four weeks down & just three more to go!! I can't believe how fast its gone by! Before I know it the streets will be lined with people again!! The previous weeks should hopefully go by just as fast! I will be working a lot this week which will be a good change!! And then next week I am going to fly to SEATTLE and meet up with CORTNEY!! I have never been to Washington and I have missed my CoCo very dearly so needless to say I'M STOKED!!!! It will be a great weekend. We're making that long 12 hour drive back in one day but we're going to make the best out of it by listening to music and dancing!!! And when we get back we will have a new roommate!!

A long lost roommate of mine has decided to move back to the BURG! We are excited to have her join our apartment!!

So all in all the 7 weeks of solitude haven't been to bad! But I'm looking forward to the Fall and all it will have to offer!!!
