I think I am adjusting to Seattle and I think it fits me well. First of all, I am so happy the weather predictions are almost always wrong. The forecast Tuesday was straight rain for too many days. Yesterday turned out to be a blue skied beautiful day. I also thought it was "warm" outside at a nice 50F. HA! I must be getting used to it here. I am starting to feel like I truly fit in here in many different ways...including I passed someone on my bike going UPHILL! A few months ago people were passing me going uphill (and downhill), I know biking to work isn't a race; but man did it feel good to pass someone! :) I think I can attribute my new found speed partly to the awesome bike panniers my aunt and uncle from Elk Grove got me for Christmas! They must have super powers built in.
I am so thankful to the friends that have come into my life. Last weekend was full of music, painting, happy hours, and a day trip out to West Seattle. It is so much fun to explore the details of this city with them and watch the sunset over Seattle from a little restaurant on the water in West Seattle.
My friend Melissa and I have decided we are going to be painters. Mostly for fun and because it is therapeutically relaxing, but also to make great (hopefully) artwork for friends and ourselves. We went to a sale at an art store and went a bit crazy purchasing canvases, but now we are prepared and the creativity is flowing! I think my house mates are no longer surprised to come home to the dinning room table covered in newspapers, paints, canvases, and of course snacks.
Speaking of snacks, today was an awesome work day because we had a meeting. Let me explain, we always get lunch at meetings so I look forward to them. I think they do this to keep the employees happy, and I would say it is working.
Not sure what else to write today, my thought seem kind of jumbled and not too insightful at the moment. Until next time :)
