OH GEEZ! 2012 2/3 GONE!

Its coming up on August and that means that 2012 is about 2/3 gone! How did time fly so fast? I am sooo sorry I haven't been on here much to update, and I really do mean to get better about regular updates. I finally have some spare time on my hands with summer "vacation" (really, I just got into a routine with summer quarter).

School Update - Music Therapy is a possible back burner. I am deciding if I want to spend school weeks on campus out of town, and trying to find a distance ed opportunity for the program. I haven't dug deep just yet. I have 2 more years of community college once I transfer into Skagit. The program I am entering will transfer me straight into Western for my bachelors in music where I can get a Music Ed degree - which is a possibility I have considered from day 1.

Pictures!!

New family addition. Satchimo Colby Jack Macaroni and Cheese.

Babycat likes to help with my homework. Sometimes his version of helping is sleeping on my homework...sometimes it is eating it, literally...

 

Peanut likes to help during homework time too. 

 

My friend Chelsea married our friend Jeremy last month. Chelsea and her mom Riki were like a second family to me when I was still settling into the Snohomish county area, and they still are. I am beyond proud of her, and we are super excited for her and Jerm to be starting a wonderful journey in life together. Chels was an amazingly beautiful bride! CONGRATS!

This is the lighthouse in Westport by Jerm and Chels's wedding venue

We ventured out to the beach to check it out. It was extremely muggy the whole weekend so though it looks cold - we were super warm.

We stopped at Lake Sylvia on our way home from Westport. It is a beautiful place, and we would love to cam

Earlier in June we went to another wedding for our friends Kirstee and Trevor. This summer has just been jam packed full of weddings for us!

My friend Jade and I on Camano Island

This is my best friend on the planet Laura an I. We have known each other going on 21 years, and she is more of a sister to me than anything. We went camping earlier this month, for the first time in years - something we used to do together with here family every July growing up. It was probably the most fun 3 days I have had in ages and I am looking forward to doing it again next summer!

This isnt the best picture, but it is from the top of Baker Dam. This is the first time we have seen the gates wide open like this and it was AMAZING to see.

Patrick and I hit up the Bite of Seattle this last weekend. Though my favorite Filipino stand wasn't there this year, we were able to try some amazing new places including an Indian place, a New Orleans grill (Patrick ate ALLIGATOR!) and I managed to find my beloved MACARONI BITES! - that is what I am saying in this picture! MACARONI!!!!

I have been getting a ton of compliments on this snapshot I took while I was literally waiting for Patrick to get into the truck. As you can see here there have been a few changes! I lightened a layer of my hair and got a funky razor haircut as well as my long anticipated and super awesome music bird tattoo! I am so excited to have something that represents who I am and what I love added to my tiny tattoo collection.

Well, That is all I have for now. I am sure there are TONS more photos on Patricks computer, but as I got my very own laptop for my birthday this year, of course I am out and about - well really I am taking care of a friend post surgery - so I will have to add those later!

Have a great day!!
