well rested

ahhh spring break was much needed & I'm still in vacation mode, but I gotta kick-start back into this last term!

So here's the rundown of our wonderful adventure...

Friday morning we took off for Kelly's home in Bend! 


and surprise surprise it was snowing! as beautiful and calming as snow is, we were really hoping for some spring sunshine. We did really enjoy our stay though. We watched many movies, went shopping almost everyday, had amazing meals from Kelly's wonderful parents who are just the greatest hostess's if I say so myself, and we got to do one of my favorite things...

 


















ICE SKATING!
It was such a joy to skate outside for the first time! I grew up learning to ice skate when I lived in Canada and it was nice to bring back those memories:)

Then off we were to our next stop in my Home Sweet Tacoma
On our way there we passed gorgeous mountains

 

and as we were about to get on the highway to Washington the street sign blew our minds!


OKAY so let me explain. 
We have this obsession over 242 and it's in reference to Acts 2:42 which says
"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers"
It's kinda what our lives are all about as we serve and worship God together and we constantly see the number 242 everywhere, whether it's the time of day or the street sign to the highway! We got a bit excited and encouraged when we saw it:)

 Anyway...after a long 5hr drive we made it to my home! I was soo thankful that the weather was gorgeous while Kelly was there because she was able to see Tacoma for what it's worth. 



&& of course we had to spend a day in Seattle because who wouldn't!

 

First time at the 1st Starbucks!



We found the gum wall!


My 1st time at the Hard Rock Cafe



We love the Seattle Pigs. What's up with all the pigs anyway?

It was such a delightful trip with 
my lovely roomie,
my family 
and the crazy weather. 
I'm sad that it's all over but I'm anticipating 
spring sunshine, 
beach trips, 
wearing sandals, 
baseball games 
and seeing what God is going to do in this next term:)

Here's a little lovely song that I hope will put some hope & love & joy in your hearts:) By the way it's Day 9 I kept it simple today with my jewelry, which I usually do, but these rings I wear everyday.  The rose ring I found a few years back at a antique shop at the beach & it helps remind me that there is always beauty after pain or troubles. The heart ring my mom but my last year & it symbolizes to me how great my community, family, and God loves me and everyone around me cause God's love is what makes the world go round:) My blue topaz ring is my purity ring, true love will await me!

New eyes, new life.

First off I want to thank all of you who supported me financially and prayerfully. You all made a huge effort in getting me to summit and I can't thank you enough! Without you and Jesus of course, I wouldn't have had such an amazing and life changing experience.  If you couldn't already tell summit was amazing ! Not only did I gain amazing new relationships with my friends in IV(Intervarsity Christian Fellowship), but I gained an entire new perspective of how I look at the world and how I want to live in it. We studied in Acts and learned how to live in a community that eats together, prays together and does everything else together. We learned to live simply and realized that we actually can survive with the bare necessities and that we don't really need the things that we want. Who seriously needs to have every new material possession? If you think about it you will be able live without it, I promise you. We spent our days at work cites as we served the homele

Mixed feelings about the Superbowl

Image
This weekend one of my favorite and least favorite events is happening. All month I have been looking forward to February 2 but also completely dreading this day at the same time. You might be thinking sheesh girl you have some polar opposite emotions about this day! You are right, I totally do!  I am completely ecstatic that the seahawks will be playing in the superbowl!! It's only their second time ever at the superbowl and I am so proud of our NW team! My family has always been fans and well this time the seahawks must win! I even got inspired by a friend to make seahawk scarfs for my business, why not they are awesome! I definitely could have made much more business if I had only thought of that sooner, ha oh well!  BUT, I on the flipside my body is sick thinking about this game day because believe it or not it is the biggest incident of human trafficking in the U.S.  January is Human Trafficking awareness month and as an advocate I am asking for your prayers and intercession
