A Place That Forever Holds a Piece of My Heart

I just thought I should let everybody know just how much I LOVE Sequim! There is just something special about this area. I would even say magical. Something keeps drawing me back here. I know this is probably where Nathan and I will end up after his career in the Air Force. I love all my friends and family that are here, and also just the landscape. Everyday it takes my breath away and I realize how blessed I am to have grown up here..

Greetings!

Well Hello Everyone!
I know it has been a while, but I have been quite busy, trying to stay off the computer as much as possible! I love being back in Sequim, and I am going to miss it when we move down to Florida. However, Florida does sound pretty exciting! Nathan graduates from his Cryptology School on April 21st. I will be making a trip down to Texas to see him :)

Since returning to Sequim, I have been practically living at my friends house. Every minute that neither of us is doing something, we spend together. Ashley and Steffen have also just bought a house, and are closing on it next week! They are super excited and I get to be a part of all of this. What else are best friends for?? I  will be helping them pack up all of their goodies and get them settled into their new home.

Ashley and I have also challenged ourselves to eat healthier and lose some weight in the process. This has been an interesting challenge, but I think we are doing pretty well. We both got Gym Memberships at SARC. I love that place. Its a blast to work out in, especially late at night because the place is empty!! And it is always more fun to have a workout buddy.

My good friend Rachel is pregnant with a boy! Ashley and I drove out to Tacoma to visit her for her baby shower! The little tyke is due in May, and everyone is excited!!! Ashley and I put some money together to buy them a crib. And, due to a little inspiration from Cassandra in Monterey, I decided to paint them a couple monkey paintings that way they would have some decor for the baby's room. This has really gotten me into an arts and crafts mood. So I may have to figure out what to do with that outlet.

Last but not least, I have been digging myself a trench in the yard. Well, its not for me but rather to find the rascal of a leak that is in our water main somewhere on this dang property. So everyday I manage to unearth a couple feet of piping. (its really hard work because its not dirt here, its all rocks!!!!!)
And! Shockingly enough, I have managed to keep my room/apartment clean for about 3 days running! For those of you who know me, this is quite a feat!!! I am really really trying :P 

Long Time no Blogger

Heya Everybody!!!
I am back!! My time in China was wonderful! I spent the whole time in Shanghai, visiting with my dad, step mom and lil sister. It was so nice to see them again. Shanghai is a very very VERY modern city. It was a very different atmosphere from Sequim. I was staying in the Pudong part of the city. From my dad's apartment on the 24th floor, we had a beautiful view of the river, and what was called "The Bund". We could even see Papa's office. He worked in a bank, that was very beautiful. I did a bit of shopping in China (SURPRISE!!!! not really )
Here are some photos from my trip:

While at home, I watched the same three disney movies OVER AND OVER!! Thanks to Chinchu, she loves anything that has to do with Princesses or Barbie.
Its nice to be back in Sequim, but I really Really REALLY miss my husband. It isn't easy to not have him around all the time. Thank goodness for Ashley and Steffen for keeping my mind of things :) Its good to have such awesome friends like them!
