A quick weekend trip

Well I made it through the first week of summer school with my sanity barely intact. What got me through the tough time was the anticipation of my weekend trip to Seattle. It was time for Lindsay's bridal shower, and as a bridesmaid, I was invited to attend. :)

I was nervous about making the drive by myself as Herman usually does all the driving, especially long distance, but I decided that I just needed to get back into my college days mindset when I would make that drive by myself often. So I pumped up the music and jammed my way up I-5.

It was a relatively short trip, and WAY less painful than I had caused myself to believe. I arrived in time for dinner with Lindsay and Josh, and enjoyed a quiet evening with them.

In the morning it was time for Lindsay's dress fitting, so we jetted off to Everett to meet up with her seamstress. After making some alterations to the dress we were off to the bridal shower. I was put in charge of making the thank you list, and I have to say, I'm quite jealous of the loot she hauled in that day. I was quite impressed with all the presents she received, and the love her family and friends showed her that day.

Lindsay and I had some quality girl time until Josh arrived home from his all day motorcycle ride late that night. In the morning after a delicious waffle breakfast, I got to run errands with the lucky couple. We even went to IKEA and they let me help them pick out some furniture for their home. I scored a beautiful comforter that Josh's mom altered slightly for me. After a delicious dinner it was time to hit the road again, and head back to life in Portland. :(

Each time I leave Seattle, I wish I still lived there. I have fabulous friends up there who are like family to me, and I hate leaving them. At least I get to go up there again for a week at the end of July for her wedding in August!

Oh... and Herman is still fishing. :( I miss him

Take care-
