So Friday I went up (with the WHOLE family) to Bellingham to visit Western!
It took aproximately 6 hours 4 minutes and 32 seconds, but it was well worth the trip!
We toured around Western, which is gorgeous! and then at dinner at "Boss Twead's" --which is the weirdest name for a restaurant, considering it was a seafood, fish n' chips kind of place and Boss Twead's has absolutely nothing to do with it!
Anyway, i LOVE western! Definetely want to apply there in the fall! After dinner we explored the down town and stopped at a park, which i then proceeded to flop down in the grass at stare at the sky for 10 minutes. (It is the most peaceful 10 minutes i have had for awhile and i thanked God and prayed for the first time in awhile too. Note: I should do that more often.)
And! the sleeping arragements for friday night weren't that horrible either! My vati is the worst snore-er in the pacific northwest, but i decided that i wanted to sleep, so i took two tylenol's and popped in ear plugs and had a restful 8 hours of sleep!
The next morning, at 8:24 my mutti woke me up and said that i should go eat breakfast, so i cleansed myself and did exactly that.
Later Saturday we visited Cornish! Which i also LOVE! It is in the heart of downtown Seattle and, if i went there, i would live in a cute little apartment and i am just minutes away from my closest relatives and i would be going to an art school! It is everything that i want and have dreamed of, so we will see!
BUT! on the other hand, western is a liberal arts school and so it gives me the flexibility to change majors if i need to and explore all the different facets of the education system!
Anyway, we had an hour to kill before we went over to my Aunt Mary Jean's house for le olde family reunion, so my mom and i went to Nordy's. Oh man, did we kill that hour good, shot it dead a few times. It ended up being my b-day present from my mom and i got 4 shirts and a pair of pants! I am so set for school! Watch out! Sexy lady comin' through! haha
So we went over to my Aunt MJ's and spent a glorious afternoon with my family, which i have missed. I was so thankful that we could spend time together and i am glad that after graduation i will still have them.
Saturday night we spent at my other aunt's house, Aunt Jan, or en espanol, Tia Jane (pronounced on-a)! It was loads of fun and a basket of bricks. Although, i DID stub my toe offly badly on her garden walkway and took a good chunk out of it.
Anyway, the trip home today took aproximately 4 hours 29 minutes and 56 seconds. I am glad to be home and i am looking forward to new adventures tomorrow! Until then!

Okay, so first off let me explain the complicatedness of that day which is named thursday!
I woke up and it seemed like any other normal day. I made myself NOT watch Dawson's Creek so instead i read the whole newspaper. I showered and then Erik called and said he had some errands to run and did i want to come? I said yes and we ran all over town getting things (like Toy's R Rus for a hammock thing for stuffed animals). And behold! Things get complicated! Erik made plans to hang out with Lindsay Bebe and Matt Peterson, but i did not know this. So matt met us in the Toy R Rus parking lot and we went over to Bebe's house. I do not know these people very well, more like, i have seen Bebe once before, and i have hung out with matt in the past. Anyway, so the time at Bebe's house is fun, but for some reason i am in a bitchy mood.
It doesn't help that right when Erik called, Aletheia also called, inviting me to the Johnny Depp extravaganza at her house which sounded like oober fun. BUT, i decided NOT to go to that because i would be leaving for seattle tommorrow and hey, the boyfriend deserves some time. Yet we were not spending it alone, which i had wanted to be doing. We left Bebe's house to head for Taco del Mar, but i did not want to come along. It also didn't help that Matt was being a jackass and making a comment like "Hmm, i really need to buy some weed.....just kidding" hahahaha! NOT!
So i asked Erik if he could take me home....BAD IDEA! So now everyone is throughly pissed off, because I never hang out with Erik's friends and how am i supposed to get to know them if i never hang out with them and i make erik hang out with my friends, which i have alot more of, and he doesn't know any of them.
So needless to say, i went home feeling like crap! I hated myself any wanted nothing more to go back in time and correct everything i had done wrong to other people! But alas, i cannot! SO THIS IS AN APOLOGY TO ALL THOSE THAT I HURT< OR THOUGHT I HURT> LAST THURSDAY! I LOVE YOU ALL< REALLY I DO!!!
Anyway, so an hour goes by, and i finally have a car so i head over to Aletheia's for the Johnny Depp-ness! It was fun and i got to explain part of this complicated ness to them all! THEN i got a call from Erik, half way through Chocolate, and i know i need to apoligize to him and set everything straight.
So it actually turned out for the best that i went over there because Erik was in a really bad mood ( i mean, crying, which the last time he did was at the Passion of Christ, and it was two tears, so this is a BIG DEAL!) Turns out that he had had a really crappy day and that his old best friend didn't want to hang out with him and that his day had turned out to be more complicated than mine! Whoo hooo!!! I am done!!!
SO Everything turned out A-OK in the end and i am glad that i had this experience. Everything is NOT about me and i need to put others first. I should have had better communication between erik and the girls to try and hang out with them both.
END!!!!

I actually did stuff today! It was crazy! Let's see...i went to the park for Erin's welcome home partay--muy divertia. (on a side note i had to talk to Sr. Olivares on the phone today which reminded me how much i don't know spanish anymore!)
Then when KT and Erin went to go get a canoe, a bunch of us went over to Aletheia's house for a bit.
After that Erik took me on a date (oooooo lala!) to Che Chaz and then we watched a movie over at his house. Who says that just because you are going out with someone there can be no real dates!? pssah.
Recall!
Up points of today!!-- (1)I got to see NAOMI!!! Cause she is in town and that is soo coolll! (2) I got to hang out with Erin for the first time in months! (3) I got to go out on a date! (4) I was right about that 53 year old man and that he actually did hit his head on the side of the "navigation locks" and that is how he died. (5) The waitress at Che Chaz asked us if we needed to see the "Wine List" (haha! She thought we were old enough to order alcohol!)
Not so good points of today!!-- (1) I didn't get the car, again! (2) I didn't know half of the people at Erin's partay (3) The waitress at Che Chaz kept hitting on Erik
On a more random note, i have determined to beat the second Donkey Kong, and also to finish both bags of cinnamon toast crunch before the summer is out-by myself!
