blah

Justin and I celebrated his birthday at home on friday. I made him a steak dinner and surprised him with a cake and candles that said "26." We drunkenly watched Battlestar Galactica although I missed the end.

Saturday I babysat and painted the kids nails and they were way more excited than I could have imagined. Apparently they have never had their nails painted before. Then they kept thinking their nails were still wet and wouldn't touch anything for like 2 hours, it was really funny. We also watched Nightmare Before Christmas, and the little girl kept asking me when the nightmare was coming. So cute!

I'm really excited about getting my car in about 10-14 days. I'm going to run all sorts of errands.

I have 3 more classes left in my microbiology class and then I can apply to nursing school. I really hope I get in. I will be pretty disappointed if I don't. I'm getting burned out at my current job and I want to leave soon so it will be on a good note for me.

I have been playing with Photo Booth a lot. It amuses me way more than it should.

Vacation

I just bought tickets to go to Tokyo!!!!!

Justin is the coolest

Justin was published in the January issue of an online journal called Lit Choas. In fact, he is on the cover! Check it out.

New Years Eve

Here is a video of the Space Needle fireworks that we watched from the roof of a building nearby.

NEW BED!!

Justin and I thought that we probably shouldn't sleep on a futon for the next couple years like we have the past two, so we went mattress shopping at sleep country with Jenny. We were expecting to just get a cheap one on sale, but deep down in my heart I wanted a Tempur-Pedic mattress and the sales guy could tell. He through in some free pillows, a frame, and a discount on the cover and it turned me into an impulse mattress buyer. Regardless of the free stuff, I wouldn't have bought it until he said we could finance it over 36 months with no interest. That's like $60 a month, which is less than cable. Yay! I am actually going to have a comfortable bed!

Snowboarding

Justin and I along with some friends went snowboarding yesterday at Steven's Pass. I really sucked at the beginning of the day and thought that I would not have fun. But I improved quickly and moved from the bunny hill to the beginner slope called "Daisy." I ate shit many, many times the first several times. Then I started to get the hang of it and by the last run I didn't fall at all. Justin did pretty well too although he was scared shitless of riding on the ski lift. The weather was also crazy while we were up there. There was practically a blizzard happening while we were boarding. It was hailing and very windy. There were even these mini tornado things popping up all over the mountain. So I am super sore in my neck and upper arms from falling and then having to push myself back up. My legs are a little sore, but I use them a lot so they were in better shape. The soreness was totally worth it though. Justin and I are thinking about getting a season pass and snowboards for next year.

Sledding in the streets!

A lot of the roads were closed (and still are) due to snowy/icy conditions. This one really steep road next to my house turned into a fun hill to sled on. Although our sled was really just a thin piece of plastic. That's why I busted my ass every time I went down.
