I'm ready for change.


Bring it.

I joke around with a friend that I've become a "coffee addict."

I've been needing a cup every morning. I'm trying to cut down to half a cup a day.

This morning on the MUNI, this girl sat down next to me, coffee in hand. As soon as I smelled her cup of coffee, I started salivating.




Somebody help me.

We each received one when we checked in for our permit at Whitney. Luckily for a one day hike, we didn't have to use it. But I guess it beats getting giardia from the water because of human waste buried too close to the water source. Ick.

I am so sore!


Waterskiing + (attempt at) wakeboarding + football + frisbee = a very very tired and sore Chris.

Ashley is planning another waterskiing/tubing trip for our church this Labor Day. This might become an annual thing.

We were running down the list of people that signed up and it's 5 guys and us 2 girls. That's a constant theme for me up here... where are the girls?? (I'm sure the guys ask the same question. haha)

But don't you worry. Ashley and I represent! We're the only 2 out of the group that know how to waterskii. That's why we're paying a little more for the package that includes the tube, skis, wakeboard, kneeboard. Hopefully one of those will work for everyone.

Here's to many, hopefully not too painful, wipeouts!

Seattle was a lot of fun. The entire time I was there, I kept thinking, "I could totally see myself living here."

James was kind enough to also go up this weekend and show me around his hometown. Here he is looking very excited at the prospect of entertaining me for the next 2 days:



I did the normal touristy things there: Pike Market, Safeco field, Snoqualmie Falls, The troll, the Locks, Gas Works Park.








But the highlight had to have been hanging out with my friend Sharon. Her family used to live in San Francisco back when we were in middle school. Our families have kept in touch throughout the years. It's great when our friendship is so easygoing and comfortable after all these years.



Sharon, I'll be waiting for you and Monica next Spring!
