Friday & Saturday

Fall is definitely here. The rain and cold have made their little selves very welcome here. And honestly I love it as long as I am under a nice warm blanket.

With fall comes a pretty busy season too. I think there were only 3 nights this week where I was home before 9 and even then it was 7 or 8. School, homework, volleyball practice, FBLA meetings, work, and dance productions filled up this week. How is volleyball you may ask? Its going pretty well. We have only played one league game and won that one. This past week we played 2 teams that are above are league. We lost both, but are playing both again in the next two weeks. I am excited to play them again and hopefully come out with a W. For the past 2 weeks we have had spirit days on Friday. How fun.


Good friends make spirit days even more fun :)



If there is one word to describe how I have felt yesterday and today, it would be this: sore. But thankfully I have had a lovely Saturday off to recover. I started off my day by sleeping in. It was glorious. I did a little bit of homework and then my sister and her family swung by to say hi. I love them so very much. Today as my nephew was getting ready to leave he whispered in my ear "Auntie Sar, I love you to the galaxy and back." Melt my heart. He is such a sweet boy.


And now I am cozily sitting in my house sipping coffee and watching the the rain. It has been raining SO hard today. But I love it as long as I am dry and am just observing it. Today I will most likely just finish some homework and have fun with my mom. The men's retreat was this weekend, so my mom and I have enjoyed it just being the two of us. Last night after my volleyball game we went to dick's and got milk shakes then came home and watched Safe Haven. I love mom & me days. 


But for now, homework is my battle. Often times I would much rather browse pinterest than read about the uprising in Syria. But at least I have a warm cup of coffee to help me enjoy it more. By the way, did you know tomorrow is national coffee day? It is! Enjoy a nice cup on this windy & rainy weekend.

{fbla state}

On Thursday, my school's FBLA (future business leaders of America) chapter headed state, which happened to be not to far away- Seattle. We all stayed in the Westin and it was quite lovely. 

This was view from my room on the 15th floor.



On Thursday, I had someone come and visit me for lunch, my seester! It was wonderful. We walked to the cheesecake factory and just took in all of beautiful Seattle :)


Samara and I even got to see a police man on horseback!


Thursday day we competed, but Thursday evening we took the monorail to the space needle, went to dick's and hung out at the fountain. It was a glorious evening. Well except for accidentally going into the men's bathroom at dick's, but that is a different story for a different time. 


blue sky. a light breeze. a beautiful city. What more could you ask for?
