My first guest was a friend of mine who I went abroad with in Australia (See Thunder Down Under for more of those stories...) She is currently driving from the East coast around the US making her way west and eventually she'll settle down and pick a place to live. I'm hoping she moves here. The weekend she was here was also one of our first work events hosted by the Fun Committee (which I'm a member of) we had a great halloween party and played bowling. Unfortunately there were no bumpers so my performance was abysmal. After we went out on the town and had a grand old time.
The next day we hosted a taco lunch at our apartment; it went swell and everyone fit comfortably on our new furniture. I also like taco lunches better then brunch, tacos > breakfast.
It was great seeing my friend; we hadn't seen each other since our last great Australian adventure so it was great to catch up.
The weekend after my best friend from Chicago came to visit! It was so great to be reunited with my other half and it was fun showing her around Seattle. We tried to go hiking but it was soo windy that the waves were coming up over the 520 bridge; it was not ideal hiking conditions. We ate pho and sushi and went out on capitol hill. On Sunday we had a special date night, we went down to the water and rode the Ferris wheel which was much less scary in the dark. We enjoyed a fancy dinner down at the Pink Door which is excellent! We munched on seafood and watched trapeze artists twirl in the air; it was a great night. I'm hoping that Seattle made a great impression on her :)
Here are some highlights from our adventures:
After a couple weeks of friends its been nice to have a calm few weeks. Last weekend I attended a fundraising dinner and this week a panel for the same organization. I'm hoping that I can get more involved in the organization and organizations like it.
Well thats about it,
