My first blog post. How fantastic.
I got back yesterday morning (my birthday) from Jason and Winter's wedding in Seattle, WA. It was a fantasmagreat time. I arrived last Wednesday night and then Josh, Kallie, Whitney and I met up with Jason and Rachel and took the hour drive out to Winter's house. We stayed at the beach house down by the water on Wednesday night. Thursday we woke up and then Matt, Brenda, Purg and I went to the ferry to catch a ride to downtown Seattle. We were late and they stopped running the foot ferry, so we took the ferry to Port Orchard and enjoyed a nice meal at a pub and walked around the city. Purg found a Filipino restuarant and couldn't resist. There was a cat the size of Garfield at a frame store. We then met up with the rest of the crew and went out on the Mitchell's boat for a few hours. It was nice to just sit around and talk to people - do some catching up. We then went back to the house and had pizza and a bonfire. The guys then went to the hotel to sleep. Oh ya, and thursday morning a bunch of the guys took naked freezing cold showers outside of the beach house because we couldn't take them inside. Friday we hung out, then went to the rehearsal at the same port where the boat was, then to a real nice rehearsal dinner at a golf course. Then back to the hotel for bonding time (naked sauna time when we all sat around and talked to Jason, great.) and sleeping. Saturday was the big day and it was cloudy right up until Winter walked down the stairs and the sun began to blare down on us. It was hot. so very hot. After the wedding we danced and ate and drank and were merry. Then we cleaned up and went back to the beach house. More hanging out. Sunday we all got ready and had a bar-b-que when Jason and Winter got back to the house. After the bar-b-que we took the ferry to downtown Seattle and hung out around there all night. Purg, Matt, and I wanted to stay out at night, so we took the extra car (Jason's) and stayed out talking until about 3am. We then drove back to Rachel's parents' house to crash. Monday we woke up to an incredible breakfast from Rach's mom and then headed downtown to go to the Experience Music Project. The EMP was closed because of the Governer's Convention so we were going to go take the monorail down to the Mariner's game. All the cheap seats were sold out, plus they closed the monorail because they were worried about terrorists. So we ate in the food court and watched old people dance. From there we drove down to the fish market and watched the flying fish. We all were very tired from the weekend's activities. Red Robin was our choice for dinner because Purg had been craving hot wings which they were out of. They sang happy birthday to me but didnt' believe it was my birthday so only gave me a little thing of ice cream when some little kid got a huge brownie sundae. We rented Cheaper by the Dozen and went back to Rachel's. The DVD was scratched and it took us FOREVER to watch the movie. Which ended up not really being worth the time. Paramedic? No, but i could use a pair-a-knees. OH! MY LATTE! Only funny parts of that movie. Woke up at 5am on Tuesday morning and headed to the airport. I caught an early flight back to SD, got a ride home with Kel, did some work, had a smoothie and chatted in my courtyard with Kel, went to Bread of Life (BOL), then came back here for a party in my honour. People left around 12:30am (thanks folks, especially those that work the grueling 9-5'er). I got some SWEET gifts too! Wine, citron, a great book by Gorey, and 4 shirts from Threadless! My friends are fantastic. Kelly and Renee had a heat competition in which they covered themselves with as much clothes and blankets as possible in our hot apartment - first person to give up loses. Kelly lost. This morning I met with Fabrice and Burak about the company and money and CMS and such.
