In Case Anyone is Wondering

Things have never gone so well in my entire life. If I could have built this life with my own hands it would be exactly the way it is. No detail changed. I am truly happy.There are moments in each day where I just have to burst into shrieks and wiggles because all of the excitement and happiness wont fit in my body any longer and I have to explode. A huge tidal wave of creativity has swept over me. I am writing and painting and creating in a more serious tone than I ever have. Serious as in I am taking myself seriously for once. I am a talented creator of all things I set my mind to.

I have so much clarity out here, maybe its this thick ocean breeze colliding with thin mountain air, I dont know. I feel no rush, no stress, but a strong sense of importance. Its like I have jumped into the river of life and instead of kicking and screaming, I have taken a deep breath, relaxed and am letting the current take me along effortlessly. But I like where its taking me. Its nice.

Although I hated work at first, its grown on me, and the perks of it are starting to cancel out the bad. I have been hanging with my co workers a lot outside of work and I really like everyone. Especially Blakely who lives down the road from work too. And the boys from Colorado, same sense of humor, its always fun.

Basically if perfection was obtainable, I am there. If it is possible to be truly happy, I am. In retrospect, my decision to move out here seems so strange. How did I stumble upon Seattle, and why, out of the many ideas I have always changing about where I want to go to school or if I want to go school, how did this one become something tangible. I could never explain it in words, but somewhere in there I know exactly how and why, and I am forever grateful that I have the strength to listen to my heart.

New Room in the house

What was this mess, above, has turned into my project for my last 2 off days. I cleaned out this area, organized it completely.
We moved the TV and the movies down to this new room. Which is opposite of my bedroom. And set up the DVD player.

And all of this mess and clutter became this most beautiful new living space I like to call THE LOUNGE.














I christened my new space with a good netflix. This is definitely going to be my favorite spot, and its inspired the clean up of the entire basement!!! Thats our rainy winter project.



This is my favorite part of the new lounge, which is also doubling as our art studio and creative space. I have been typing and it feels so natural. I am having so much fun being creative, that I dont leave the house much anymore. I love my roommates so much, they are my best friends now. I just enjoy the dynamics of the house so much. Each person is so different but we all get along perfectly and everyone does their part in making it the most successful house situation. I am truly grateful for these people. They are the most genuine and inspiring bunch. I am a lucky girl.

ITS OFFICIAL

I am an official citizen of Washington State.
I was finally able to get my license today. Third times a charm. Pretty much painless. It was incredibly windy downtown today and I look disheveled in my picture. But one step closer to... something.


New roommates in the house. One with a type writer that I have been borrowing. And by borrowing I mean keeping in my room. Its so much fun to type on a type writer. Writing has been spilling out of my fingers at rapid rates. Soon I will have to get one of my own but for now I am grateful he is letting me use it.


Good news!!
My boss is going to let me take 2 weeks off in the end of February to come home. So I just have to make some solid plans and it will come soon enough! Just thinking about it makes me extremely excited. I cant wait to see everybody!!
