There is a magical land of the UW campus that is yet another one of those places that stuns me to silence. It's a wonder to behold. Partially because of the architecture alone.. but then.. the cherry blossoms were in bloom! I watched people walking by, talking.. living their lives and hoped that when the day came that I went to school here, that I would be able to appreciate fully this scene more regularly.. Ah spring.

I was able to go into the city for a time maybe... 10 ish days ago.. And once again it surprised me to realize that I COULD live there. Maybe not downtown Seattle nonsense, but it really is a fantastic and beautiful city. One that I would more than willingly explore if I had the resources. Which at this moment I do not.

I had an interview today with Wells Far-go. (teehee) As a fun random question they asked where we would vacation if anywhere.. The thought crossed my mind.. well.. I MOVED to my vacation spot. So.. what's next... Italy? (Cracks-me-up.) You know that expression "when it rains, it pours?" I feel like there has been a POURING out of phone calls about jobs over the last couple days.. Maybe I just have excellent timing when turning in resumés? Maybe that pending tithing that I finally turned in opened up some extra windows? Whatever the cause, I feel very blessed. I have been offered a position at an Inn, and have 2 more interviews at 2 other establishments on Thursday. What!? Yea. I am pretty stoked. And the OH so tasty sandwich place that I love.. that I am totally breaking my "no working in food industry" rule that I made for myself.. Yea. I applied there today. They are looking for people for summer, which I might add is right around the corner.. (Oh the sandwiches... oh.. the joy.. )

And! Next week! I can't believe it's next week! But I am returning for a few days back to Utah for a wedding AND to see the friends I left behind. I feel like I should have more to tell.. or speak of. Nearly 3 months I've been gone. Alas, I feel my epic tales are minimal and consist of solo adventures, seas, trees and The Classic Crime- WHICH will have to come at a later date. I've gotta see the faces before I post it. But. Needless to say, I am excited to go, even for a little while. It's going to give me my charge to get to July..

Which! Is when Bek comes! My "twin" is coming and bringing the fam. It's gonna be an excellent adventure and a blessing for them to get away from the heat. I think it might be too soon to make a paper chain.. I have random bursts of BEKKI'S COMING! (it happens just as often as I get my "I saw TCC!" bursts..) I keep planning the places we'll go and discover around here.

Now.. I'm not sure I've mentioned this enough.. but I've had the funniest bursts as of late of.. I LOVE MY FAMILY! Which is true, of course. We are a loud bunch.. and such a hoot. You're missing out, to be sure. I miss the times when we are all together. Picture shown below was from Derek's wedding last year. I can't believe it's passed so quickly. BUT! This is us.. typically us. I wouldn't have it any other way.

And with that.. I close. It's nearly 1 am. I have some really good thoughts as of late.. but I think they will have to come another day..

Band of the day- Depeche Mode (Particular songs-"shake the disease" "people are people" I'm going to make a jam out mix, adding erasure and depeche mode because they're so stellar)
