Oh, hello there.

Apparently I'm not as good at this as I was hoping, seeing as I haven't posted since February and I promised much, much more. Oh well, what's grace for if not to give myself some.
Here I am, spring quarter, about a month away from finishing my freshman year of college. That's weird, to say the least. The weather in Seattle has tended towards the sunny side, which is more than lovely! I can't explain how delightful it is to have leaves on the trees again, especially on the SPU campus. Grey skies and trees with bare limbs aren't the best for the the psyche, though perhaps less distracting for the academics.

Speaking of academics, if you haven't heard, I'm planning majoring in art history!!!!!! Okay, maybe that's more exciting to me than to you. Of course, nothing is set in stone and all is subject to change (it's been known to happen before), but I sure hope I won't change my mind. I am not quite sure where this path will lead, but it is going to be fun...and artsy...and historic...

A couple of my wonderful friends:

 Caitlin, Heather, Claire, and...who's that girl with short hair?! Oh yeah, me :)

À bientôt!           

When Seattle is Magical... (aka, when the weather is pleasant))

The first pictures is from Kerry Park taken today on a walk after church. I wish this weather would stay. It's so lovely.

The other pictures were taken the other night on a night walk to Gasworks . There was an adorable couple lighting paper lanterns into the sky. Like I said, this weather is magical.

Tragic story...

I've been to Cupcake Royal in Ballard twice and both times they've been clean out of cupcakes. Starbucks cake-pops are just not the same.

Favorites of Fremont

This afternoon/evening, my darling Heather and I took a little study trip, which later became a little study break, across the canal and into Fremont. To study we went to my new favorite coffee shop called Canal Street Coffee. It's adorable, the people are nice, the coffee's tasty, and they play wonderful (but sometimes very random) music.  

While walking back, I took a shot of this Fremont favorite. This is the Theo Chocolate factory. It's the only chocolate factory to be both purely organic and fair trade in the US. I could say so many more wonderful things about it, but you'll just have to experience it for yourself.

We also stopped at this amazing little bookstore. It was my first time, and I am already a dedicated customer. Next time you're in Fremont, stop here and peruse in this lovely shop. You won't be disappointed. 

Adorable and Grandiose

 I started a job dog walking this quarter. Here are two of the great things about this job: 

1. I get to walk and love on this adorable pup!

2. I get to look sneak peaks at the grandiose views like this one from Queen Anne hill! 

Snow days

Picture time! I'm going back to last week with these photos. I suppose I should say week-end, as school was canceled for 4 and a half days, which makes, in essence, a nine day weekend. Pretty awesome, right!? Someone told me recently the irony of college students and our love for snow days: College is the only thing that people pay to get, and then rejoice when we don't get it. 

Here's my dorm in the snow. The window to my room four over and four down. 

On the first snow day, we took a walk to Gasworks park. Many other Seattleites were there as well enjoying the "slopes" on these rare snow days.

I live in such an awesome city! I hope you enjoyed the snow if you had it! Come back tomorrow for some more exciting photos! :) 

Photos...for days...

Hi there friends! I've decided that I really want to be better at this blogging thing, so in order to accomplish that, I'm going to try to put up a photo a day and leave a little comment along with it. Since I'm giving up Facebook for a little while, I thought this would be a good way to stay in touch, it's something I actually want to do instead of staring at a computer screen and then asking myself what the heck I've been doing for the last hour. (If you have Facebook, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about ;) ) Maybe blogging's not all that different, but here's hoping. :)
