Our Own Blustery Day

This weather we're having in Seattle is a bit strange. I remember waking up to sun yesterday. Then while I was at the gym, all of a sudden I look outside and it was dark and cloudy. Then I'm driving to pick up my grandpa up north and it's POURING!! Seriously, the rain was beating down on my car so loud, I couldn't even hear my radio. And those who know me, know my radio is always turned up to a high volume. This weather totally reminds me of "Winnie-the-Pooh and the Blustery Day". Has anyone else read/seen that? It was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. Who knows? Maybe our houses will flood and we'll be forced to travel by upside-down umbrella to visit each other. And if someone is stranded, they'll have to send a message in a bottle. Sometimes I think it would have been fun to live in the Hundred Acre Wood. Awesome.

Let's Go Golfing!

I am so happy that the weather is already so beautiful outside. Last year, it took way too long and I took off for South America before I got to experience any warmth. And then when I was in South America, I also didn't get to experience any warmth. So I am very thankful that it seems to be coming early this year. One thing I am most excited about is going golfing! I really miss the days of being on my high school team, getting to play every day and competing against other schools. I still love to play, but I never went last year and I'm anxious to see how well I do this year. I have some redemption to do versus the older brother and I think I can take him. I got a hand-me-down driver from my dad and I think it's going to help. Let's go!

Is This Seattle?

This weather has been so crazy I feel like I'm not even living in Seattle. It looks like a totally different place. I LOVE IT! I actually have a winter break now because I got the entire week off work just due to weather! I know it has been a hassle getting places and doing things, but you just gotta be appreciative because how often does this kinda stuff happen here?? Almost never! I do have one word of caution: please be careful while driving! The other night my family and I were watching TV and we heard a thud and we rushed to our windows. Someone had taken out a whole tree on our parking strip, left some car parts and continued driving down the sidewalk!! Crazy stuff. Hope everyone is okay. Enjoy the snow while it lasts!
