New Look, New Outlook.

Good Morning! Literally. I'm not a morning person and I've never been (lord knows I try!) but by forces of nature I woke up before 8am today. I'm feeling quite proud. Seeing as its now 8:22am but that's besides the point. About a week ago my husband and I took a mini trip/retreat along the Olympic Peninsula here in the beautiful PNW. Our final destination (in fact most of our stops along the way as well) were a "no mobile service" area. It was very interesting and relaxing being away from social media, internet, and crowds of people. Something that we both enjoy quite often. During that trip, it reminded me to appreciate more people time. Time with loved ones. So much distraction in today's society and yes, technology has made so many things and ideas possible but we can't forget to enjoy Life, savor moments, and just appreciate the company you are with. I hope that more people start to get back into that one on one interaction with people.

Anyways, before I get sidetracked again :-P I really just wanted to say that I hope to write more blogs to document and be able to remember some amazing events this year. I already write in my own journal think it would be nice to actually get back into blogging. We'll see!!! No promises. This past month has been a whirlwind! Can you believe its already June??? That's half of 2015 already gone and passed us by. I really hope everyone is enjoying Life and being able to be your best selves. And just BE HAPPY!!! :) Okay, so essentially since this is just an update post I better do what I do best and make a list of good points lately. I'm no good making this even remotely witty or interesting. Best of Luck to all graduates this year too :):):)

What I've Done This Past Months:

- Explored more of WA

(I honestly feel like I have been to more places in Washington State than people who have lived their whole lives here. Case in point: This one lady told me she had never been to Federal Way. Its just 30 minutes away!!! WOW)

- Rode Mopeds on a Beach with my husband:)

(First time and it was EPIC!!!!)- Tried a new haircut

(LOB - Long bob with soft blended layers, I am LOVING IT)- Hiked a mountain in Central Oregon

(I cannot seem to remember the name of it apparently)- WORKED A LOT :-P

Umm....drawing more blanks lol (I need coffee)

Servus!

Guten Tag! I had one of the most amazing adventures this past weekend and although I am crunched for time at the moment I thought I would give you a sneak peek:)

The Day the Sun melted the Snow.

I woke up today with a mission to dye my hair. I’ve been itching to color it for awhile now but I wasn’t sure if I wanted a subtle or drastic change. So I had two boxes and a choice to make—-I went with the subtle change route. Thus started my day…

Today was an awesome, awesome day. The past two days our town had seen Snow, and it doesn’t bother me at all. I enjoy the snow, as long as I don’t have to commute in it. And it was, of course, WONDERFUL to see the Sun (it’s Washington State, sun is definitely NOT an everyday occurrence) out for a change. Sun is essential for a healthy mind, it's inspiration. And I had a million things running through my brain. So many ideas, so many ideas indeed!

For starters, My husband and I had lunch at our favorite Gyro place. This place is a gem! A hole in the wall with a 15 minute wait. But its worth it. Indefinitely. Oh man, how I could eat Gyros everyday of my life if I had to. With no real plans we stopped in at our local B&N store. We maybe spent 5 minutes in there and then immediately decided to hit up one of the Borders Bookstores that was closing up near by us. (if you haven’t heard, Borders is filing for bankruptcy, google it!). We took a trip across the only tolled bridge (in State) to Gig Harbor. And OMG, best idea ever!!! I found so many goodies, it was insane. I had to narrow it down with my hubby’s help:P

Afterwards, we decided to hit up the nearby Target just to take a gander and buy dry cat food, literally. I spent some time within the day testing out my time-lapse skills with an app I found for my iPhone, at just about every place we went lol…Fun times! We headed home as the sun started to set and that cold chill moved in. It was a great day out…And a much needed one too! A day like any other day should never be wasted!!!

And the other best part of my day was receiving my third package of four LOL. Okay, so I may have went a little online shopping crazy but I never really shop anyways, so it's all good;) Awesome sauce.
