Our easter sunday

April 1, 2013

Yesterday for Easter we went to church in the morning with our friends and then we were invited to a brunch afterwards. We played some corn hole or bean bag toss (whichever you call it), ate some tasty foods, and tried to be in the sun as much as possible. The weather was crazy amazing yesterday. Yeah!

After we ate we took a walk to a nearby park to see a really great view of the city. It was pretty cool. Once Walker and I got home we rested a bit (being in the sun all day is exhausting) but we headed back out to see the sun set. Clear evenings are rare around here so watching the sun set was pretty great. Plus we got a rare chance to get up on the rooftop of our building.

I hear there is going to be at least 3 more days of really great weather until rain maybe? So basically this week is going to be unproductive. Ha! Oh well it’s worth it.

A walk to the park

September 21, 2012

I mentioned to Walker the other day that one of the reasons I was so excited to move here was to be closer to nature since there is so much of it in and around Seattle. I was bummed because we live in a more urban setting here and so far had not had any adventures to more naturey areas. Of course I could have ventured out on my own but being the chicken I am I wanted to first explore with Walker in order to feel comfortable doing it on my own. So last night when Walker got home he suggested (without me even saying anything) that we take a walk to the park I’ve mentioned wanting to go to.

I was so excited! Plus the weather was gorgeous and we got to the park just as the golden hour was setting it, how perfect is that? It was everything I was hoping for and more. It’s filled with giant trees, and pretty blooming dahlias, pretty green grass fields to sit in and enjoy the park. Oh I was loving it! It was just what I needed.

As we were heading out of the park we stumbled upon a water tower turned lookout tower and ventured up the winding stairs to some incredible views of the city. I can’t wait to go back. It’s got me even more excited to visit as many parks in and around Seattle as we can. I suggested 2 a month but Walker is thinking maybe 1 a month with his busy schedule. Maybe my schedule will pick up too and then I can agree on that. Ha!

Next week I will be on vacation! Not to worry though I have a lot of fun posts planned. On Monday I’ll be sharing another customer story and the rest of the week and into next week I’ll be sharing some of the top questions I get asked about my jewelry and I’ll be answering them right here! I will also have some discount codes while I’m away so be sure to stop by and check them out. Have a wonderful weekend!
