So true.

Weekend Snapshots

This weekend was a busy one.

Friday, Chris's co-workers and I had a surprise dinner at Umi for him. He's finally done with training. Afterwards we met some friends up there and ended up at Pesos (obviously).

We woke up super early Saturday to head to Mt. Baker. Its about a 2 1/2 hour drive, but well worth it. After a few falls- I finally got the cobwebs dusted off. My goal this season is to learn how to get off the lift without falling!

Elisha and I! 

Afterwards, we were too tired to do anything but run to whole foods for dinner.

Sunday was super productive. Finally unpacked from my weekend in Raleigh, hit up Trader Joes for the weeks groceries, and caught up on laundry.  We met Lindsay, Adel, and Mickey at gas works park to snap Christmas cards photos..

Catching fire was next on the agenda-- AMAZING. Cant wait for Mockingjay part 1. Family dinner consisted of artichokes and red potatoes (compliments of Tom) and chicken sausage kabobs. 

yum.

Commuting

So some people may think I'm crazy, but so far I really enjoy commuting to/from work. It take me about 45 minutes to get to work and about 60-75 minutes to get home!! 

The morning commute gives me time to enjoy my coffee while listening to my favorite morning shows.

The evening commute gives me time to decompress from the work day, chat on the phone, and sing at the top of my lungs to all my favorite songs.

I'm sure over these next 3 months when its dark both when I get to the office and when I leave, I'll have to re reread this post to remember its going to get better!

Plus, there's not much to complain about when I get views like these... 

Almost home
