Seattle Pride

It's probably super weird to people looking in from the outside seeing all of my pictures from Seattle Pride Festival. If you have never been to a "gay pride" parade or festival, you need to go to one ASAP! Even if you aren't a supporter, it can be GREAT people watching and there are really great people there! And NO! not everyone is gay!Also, it probably looks really cliche with the rainbows and balloons but that's just the parade for you.

Because I work with Macy's, Lindsay and I got to walk in the parade with Macy's. It was our second year actually walking in the parade, which was special as a couple. More Tacoma Macy's people walked this year so I was surrounded by friends and even my roommate Lacey decided to walk and show her spirit.  We enjoyed the crowds and the people, and the weather was surprisingly PERFECT! Thanks Washington.

Graduate!

My cousin Chris graduated from Oregon State University this week! So awesome!

CONGRATS CHRIS!

Maritime Festival

 Every town has a parade, right? Gig Harbor has a traditional "Maritime Parade" every year and I have only missed ONE in 12 years. Every year we get our chairs and go down to the north side of the parade route and pitch our area and walk over to "Kelly's" for breakfast then watch the 5k and then the parade. Afterward, there is a festival where you can eat and check out booths and watch concerts.

DO IT!

My accomplishments for 2011 felt to small :
Moving out. Quitting Smoking.
Quitting Soda. (RIP DIET COKE). Getting a root canal. (ow) Getting a new job. Getting a new tattoo. Getting a kitten. Creating a blog. Going somewhere I hadn't been. (Georgia). Walking in Seattle pride. I know, THERE ARE A FEW... but not enough!

My best accomplishment was growing out my hair long enough to feel okay with getting a haircut...

I have been breaking out like crazy lately. EW! I think it's because I have over loaded on sugar, junk, stress and bills. Unhappy with my job, my friendships and relationships! I feel like there is a lot more I could be doin and I need to take control of my own life! Because well, it's mine! So I made a goal list. Now obviously, this isn't the first goal list I have made... but it is the first one I am hoping to stick with! I am able to motivate myself if I feel like I have seen an improvement. For example, I quit smoking last year, and did for a long time. Due to recent events, I sort of picked it back up but because it gives me headaches and a cough... I've decided to cut it out of my life once again! I also quit drinking soda last March, and if I was to add the total cans of soda together that I have consumed in the last year and a half... It would probably add up to one can. Go me! But actually, this time I really want to crack down. Not a 3 week high at the gym every morning or a job that I hate just for the money... I want a change!

and - get a fourth tattoo.
