Life quote: number one

"Never take life too seriously."

Oh hey.

It's been quite a while! Here are a few updates since the last time we spoke...
-I work now.
-It is OCTOBER! My favorite month ever. I'm sure you already knew this.
-I'm totally composting, like a cool person.
-I broke my New Year promise of reading a Novel a month in August. Mercy for the weak.
-The pepper plant is still alive! (side note: all my plants are alive! Miracles do happen!)
and most important of all...
-WE GOT A DOG. a real one.

Remember when I told you I would move to Colorado and do all these special things. Well dog was the last thing on my list and it has been done my friends. and he's pretty much the craziest thing I have ever seen. Aren't dogs supposed to be somewhat trained by nature? I'm confused. This dog is insane. "This dog", his name is Lewis. But around these parts we call him Louie. and if you must know I named him after the great american explorer, Meriwether Lewis. There is no real significance to this.

I've found a job! (Yay!-anxiety kind of over!) But it doesn't start for a while, so I've been spending a lot of my time at home. This new place, is by far the homeliest home I have lived in. The reason is most likely the carpet. 

Anyway, I love this place. Every square inch. It's also open to the public, so please, come in and say hello!

I recently returned from what was probably my last little vacation for the summer. (NOOOO~!) How the eff is it already August?! I can't believe that we have been living in CO for two months already.

And now, let me present to you: Pictures of my visit to Spokane, WA.

Let's finish up this roll of pictures with beautiful roses of the most western area of the pacific northwest...

Ah. Wasn't that just nice? The pictures make it seem like we were just innocently picking cherries, praying at evangelical churches and what not, but I assure you it was much more exciting than that! We got lost, 170 degrees, splash pad, mario kart. It was action packed.

What a beautiful area! How was your visit Wight/mans?? I'm still boggled by the fact that of all the places to be in this world, we were in the same area and within a day of each other!!

I miss you guys! Christopher V. and Miyuki! Come on down for a visit, Ya' hear!

A very happy four years, to my very favorite person!

One of my friends Kuni and his wife, who live in Brooklyn, NY, have the most beautiful shop called Kanorado Shop.

He recently asked me if he could post a few of my trip pictures from my Jackson/Craters of the Moon Trip on the shops' tumblr page. Go take a look! Also while you are over there, you should buy something and support my pals. They are the most amazing people! The last/ONLY time I visited New York, his wife made the most delicious brie sandwiches and we sat on a real checkered picnic blanket. Also we were at Brooklyn Park listening to the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and during the final song there was fireworks. Oh, I had you at brie? I know, I'm secretly in love with her as well. You are required to live a very cool life over there in New York.

Update: I went back to look at pictures from the park event and it looks like we are sitting on a rather colorful, striped, regular blanket. Sorry, I lied. Our unrelated neighbors were the ones sitting on a checkered one.
