Sunshine!!

This weekend has been wonderful so far. It was 74 and SUNNY all day today. Emi, Laley, and I studied in the Starbuck's in Magnolia for four hours. I got almost everything done, with the exception of my women's studies homework because I forgot to bring my book. Afterwards we drove to one of the lookout points on the bluff. Mt Rainier was out today and the Sound was all shimmery. We noticed this staircase that went down to what we were hoping was the beach. So we went down it. It was really steep and we could tell that parts of it had settled and eroded over the years. It was also very very long, therefore we were dreading climbing back up it to get to the car. We couldn't get to the beach. Rather, we ended up on a private drive where four multi-million dollar houses stood. (You know it's all because of the view, even though they were stunning three-story houses.) So we enjoyed the view and hiked back up the 106 steep steps back to the car. Yeah, we probably won't be doing that again anytime soon. How do we always get ourselves into these situations?

We came back to our apt afterwards and played games while watching movies. It was nice and relaxing. I worked on weaving in the loose ends of yarn on the afghan-turned-bedspread I finished over spring break. The thing is huge and I am wondering how the heck I am going to get it to Michigan. I guess I'll be packing light.

Going to the 9 o'clock service tomorrow morning. I had briefly considered going to the 7am, but then forgot about it. Afterwards, Emi is picking me up and we are going to go visit our friends at the assisted living/nursing home in West Seatte. We haven't been since January. Where has the time gone!? I really miss Lorraine. She's so cute and cracks me up whenever I walk through the door. We're going to pick up some flowers from the market to take with us. After that we're heading to her aunt and uncle's house for Easter dinner. Apparently there's also a large Easter basket hunt for everyone, so I guess I'll be hunting for an Easter basket as well!

Sondra, Kim, Lauren, and Amy are having a fondue party tomorrow night at their place. I'm excited. Next Sat we're piling into Enoch's car and heading down to Portland to hear Nickel Creek...I can't wait!! I've been dying to hear them since Kim introduced them to me last year. Yay!!

Time for bed.
Happy Easter!
