I moved up to Bellingham, WA this past Monday & I am falling in LOVE...
no, not with someone (don't get your hopes up people), but I'm falling in love with the Pacific Northwest all over again, I don't think I ever lost the love I have for this place, it just keeps growing the more time I spend here.
I can't even tell you how lucky I feel to be up here. It's amazing!!! It's such a beautiful place (ocean & mountains, what more can you ask for?) with wonderful people. I can't wait for classes and to start developing a thesis (nerd...duh!). Although I do miss Utah and BYU (shocking I know!) I am ready for this next step, I've waited so long for this to happen and it finally is!
I have had some free time since I've been here because classes don't start until Wednesday, so I was able to go to Shannon Point Marine Center (SPMC), in Anacortes. I spent 6 months out there for MIMSUP and I was so excited to go back. It was fun to see and talk to everyone at SPMC. After my visit there I stopped by Washington Park and met a guy from Rotorua, NZ, nice guy, we talked for a bit about NZ & the similarities to Washington (which are A LOT!).
The view from Washington Park.
On my way home I decided to take a detour to Deception Pass, just look at the pictures
The picture at the top of my page is also from Deception Pass. So that's Deception Pass, if you ever come and visit me I'll take you there (especially if you are afraid of heights).I LOVE the house I moved into, it's so cute & my roommates are awesome (shout-out to Emily & Kim!). Here are some pictures,
don't mind the plastic over the windows, the house is in the process of being painted.
OK, I only put one picture of the house...I'll put more up later this week, once my bed arrives.
The picture above is a picture of a park about 5 minutes away from my house.
Moral of this post: I love my life right now, I probably won't be singing the same tune once classes and TA stuff start, but hopefully.
Man I love this place
