Our easter sunday

April 1, 2013

Yesterday for Easter we went to church in the morning with our friends and then we were invited to a brunch afterwards. We played some corn hole or bean bag toss (whichever you call it), ate some tasty foods, and tried to be in the sun as much as possible. The weather was crazy amazing yesterday. Yeah!

After we ate we took a walk to a nearby park to see a really great view of the city. It was pretty cool. Once Walker and I got home we rested a bit (being in the sun all day is exhausting) but we headed back out to see the sun set. Clear evenings are rare around here so watching the sun set was pretty great. Plus we got a rare chance to get up on the rooftop of our building.

I hear there is going to be at least 3 more days of really great weather until rain maybe? So basically this week is going to be unproductive. Ha! Oh well it’s worth it.

Is it summer yet?

March 29, 2013

Well no, not quite, but here in Seattle we’ve been having some really, really nice weather. I moved here in September so I haven’t yet experienced a summer here but I hear is really nice. These last few days have given me perhaps a sneak peek.

On one lovely day this week we headed out to the beach with a group of people Walker plays ultimate frisbee with. The plan was to have a bonfire and cookout. Our plan was almost foiled because all the fire pits were taken but we ended up borrowing one and it worked out perfectly.

We got there while the sun was still out and Walker and I joined a volleyball game. It was quite bold of me because usually I don’t like playing with people I don’t know in case I don’t play well. Yeah me! I did it and my team won. Woo! It was almost like summer except seriously I could not feel my feet after the game.

I warmed up quickly once I got by the fire. It was just so wonderful. The smell of burning wood, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, the last sliver of sun setting behind the clouds and oh did I mention…there was a full moon that night. And since it was such a clear night we got to see it rise in all it’s glory. I howled at it as I do and smiled at how something so simple can make you so happy.

With the smell of campfire in my hair I fell asleep smiling that night.

A little private party

March 28, 2013

A while back I downloaded the Eventbrite app onto my phone for a particular event and then got really excited about finding fun and free things to go to. While searching I found a company that was putting on a party for their 15th anniversary (it was free) so I rsvp’d Walker and I to the event and we got in (with about 1,000 other people but still).

It was nice to have an excuse to get a little dressed up and hit the town. It was also a nice night so we decided to walk. While their we enjoyed champagne, treats, and a tour around the museum of History and Industry where the event was held.

Walking home turned out to be almost as fun as the entire evening. I had TLC’s No Scrubs stuck in my head so I blared it from my phone and we danced all goofy. I was especially excited when we stumbled upon a fish eye mirror-pictures! Overall it was a pretty fun night and you can bet I’ll be checking my app for more fun things to do around this city.
