Update on moi...

so, i'm headed to Germany on the 5th of July. I left Alaska almost a month ago, not sure where I would go or what I would do. When I was in Utah, Koko's mother, told me that Koko and Patrick's nanny got engaged and is leaving asap, and they needed someone to help them out for a few months. She asked if I had job, I did not, I talked with them and bam, I'm headed off to Germany for a few months. I'm excited, but also excited to get back to the states and start the next stage of my life...enjoy the updates thus far...

Seattle

Daniel, Sean, Sadie and I spent the day at Pike's Place Market. It was the 100 year celebration. I found this Pirate Pig for Jakey Jack Sparrow.

Sadie and I went to the top of the Space Needle...incredible views!!

Daniel and I went out for a drive and stopped at Deception falls, beautiful. It would have been nice if the hike was a little longer than 200 ft.

We then went up to Leavenworth, a little German town in the mountains. Incredible! I kept expecting people to be speaking German. We ate wurst, rot and weise kraute, spatzli, and schnitzle at a little restaurant...ah, nostalgia, I loved it!!!

Utah

I stopped in Utah for a few days, stayed w/ Mary and Aaron...many thanks...saw a few other people including Stacy, Tom, and baby Ethan and Carrie at Stacy's.

I also met up with my friends Janine, Heather, Sarah, and Heidi to go wedding dress shopping for my roommate Sara, who is getting married August 11th.

California

My next adventures took me from Vegas to California. I got to spend time w/ Paul and Rachel... fantastic!!! I was so bummed to not be able to see everybody that I wanted though. =(

The trip 'cross country to Philly

We started from Vegas Sat afternoon, arrived at Grandma Connie's in Ogden Sat evening. Early Sunday morning we headed out w/ Grandpa Scott and Blair in the Penske truck, Elsa, Jacob and myself in the camry, Sean at Grandma Connie's. We stayed the first night in Nebraska, the next in Iowa...I went for a run up to a cemetary in a light drizzle, when I got to the cemetary, it started to pour so I took shelter under a big tree, peaceful, beautiful...sorry, no pics of that, I left my camera charger in my car in Utah. =( Tuesday we stayed in Ohio...I went for a long walk at dusk by endless fields of young cornstalks, again, no pics. We arrived in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, stayed in Bensalem. I got to share a bed w/ Jacob, this is about how it was every night...bed hog.

Thursday we went to Valley Forge.

Friday, Elsa and Blair closed on their house and we started moving in...we've been moving in ever since!


What a faboulous trip! We still have to go do the Philly tour, I also want to take a trip into NY to see a few people. I'll keep you posted.

With my nephews, Jake and Sean, in Philadelphia. It's been so hot and muggy, we rarely get outside, though Sunday was nice enough to be outside for this photo-op.

Me and Reece

Reece and I looking fabulous. I think this was a B-day party for Charise (and Buzz)/going away party for the Nunez'.
