Seattle's Fads

1). Suburus
2). Dogs (mostly small)
3). Running
4). Rooftop Car Storage Containers
5). Coffee (Not Starbucks)
6). Closed - toed sandal shoe thingies.

The sun came out for the first time since I've been here. Everyone (including myself) came out and I had so much fun watching people be happy. LOL We are all so happy today!

So far today I have:
1). Worked out
2). Read A Voice in the Wind
3). Went to Target

Now I am watching Sweet 16 and cooking. I plan on visiting University Presbyterian church at the University of Washington tomorrow, I hear they have 10,000 members! Love you Whittier!

WORK!

I start work at 1:30 pm today. So, between now and then I will probably go up to Broadway and walk around, look for the sales at grocery stores, and then head over to Alki. Alki is the part of Seattle that X Gym is in, and conveniently my new employer Knowledge Integration Solutions. The only thing about staying in this apartment alone are the noises that my mind thinks are something scary, but are really just the cats: Noah, Sonya, and Langley. Spent my night last night catching up on Season 4 of Friday Night Lights.

After reading the last post from August of last year I can't help but smile. I am in Seattle, back in action and ready for a summer of working, homework, friendships, and enjoying every second of being here. It's been a long year of waiting, wondering, wishing, and now to see how God has been faithful to me this year has been amazing. I am going to try and use this blog to update you on what I am doing with myself up here in Seattle. haha Let's hope I can pull through past tendencies to stick with a blog for more than one day.

A quick story from the road trip up here. As we were about an hour out of Seattle we drove under a walking bridge on the 5. On top of the bridge was a woman, right at the edge, looking over all the cars. It wasn't until we got closer that I realized she was standing there with the sole purpose of waving an American flag at all the cars. How appropriate since it was Memorial Day, right? She waved this flag with a pride I have never seen from a lady of her age. The way she waved the flag was the best part: long, fluid waves from left to right so the flag could really get a taste of the wind. AND she followed the flag with her head from left to right with each graceful wave, never taking her eyes off the flag. Maybe you had to be there :)
