Summer Days Drifting Away...

I knew summer was quickly coming to an end when I received ads in the mail for Back to School sales. I was wondering how on earth that could have happened since I swear they JUST let kids out of school for the summer. I guess it's true what they say...time flies as you get older. Anywho...life has been like a blur of motion. It's especially been a jam packed last couple weeks.

Spent time with my friend Heather who was out here for a visit from Illinois. She is one of my closest friends from highschool. We don't keep in touch as much as we'd like to so it's always nice that we get to spend time together whenever she's here visiting her family. She's one of those people I always forget how much I miss until I see her.

I've also been keeping myself busy applying for a Graduate Program. I've had a nice year off, but I think it's time for me to go back to school. I am giving myself one last trip before cracking down with school again though. I'm heading to the Big Apple for a few days near the end of September to visit my friend Gina.

This last weekend I took my first Argosy theme cruise with some friends from work. It was the Movin 92.5 Party Cruise or whatever. I didn't know quite what to expect, but it was pretty fun. Then again I do love the music. They have awesome 80's and 90's music as well as current songs you can dance to. There was a huge age range of people there, too. You had your older older people all the way down to the just over 21 youngins. We sailed from Kirkland City Dock around Lake Washington and stopped near Mercer Island for a fireworks show. The only problem with the fireworks show was that it was on one side of the boat. I swear that I could almost see the boat tipping when everyone ran to one side of the boat to watch the fireworks. Haha!

Other than that I've been busy catching up with people, movies, and reading. I think I've started to overdose on movies actually. In the last couple weeks I've been to the movies 5 times. The sad thing is that I'm not even caught up on all the movies I want to see. That's how far behind I was.

Welp...hopefully this week will be quiet because next week will be crazy busy. We are going to Portland for our annual All-Staff Divisional Meeting with people from all 4 states next week. A small group of coworkers and I were planning on going via Amtrak so hopefully they have that train and/or train track situation sorted out and have service so we can go.
