Updates

It has been a long while since I have written here and I thought it was time to add a few things.

I now have an internship at the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (yes, I know it has an extraordinarily long name). It is in downtown Seattle by Pioneer Square. I am thoroughly enjoying it! I work in the gift shop right now, and soon will be splitting up my time between the gift shop and the actual museum. I love the people I'm working with, they are wonderful people and they all are passionate about history!

Here's a picture of the museum. You all should come visit me...I work almost every Saturday from 9am-5pm!

For work this summer I am back at Edmonds Community College in the Enrollment Services office, this I am also loving. It's wonderful to have a job where after a long day in the office I can honestly say that I had fun at work! :)

Ok, something ultra exciting...my brother and his wife are having a baby!! (Oh by the way, my brother got married!) It is going to be a little girl and she is due on August 28th. So soon!!! Here's an ultrasound picture, a little old, but still cool.

I just finished dog sitting for one of my coworkers on Saturday and stared dog sitting on Monday for my neighbor! Both times I'm staying at their houses, so I'm not home much. It's been good though, made me positive I never want to have a dog. It's just too much hassle to have to come home to feed the dog and/or let them out to pee! I don't like having that much of a commitment! I've got things to do, people to see, places to go!! :) But it's a ok for a few weeks while people are out on vacations.

Since it's summer break I've been doing a lot of reading when I'm not working or whatnot. That's been nice. some books I've been reading are, "Practicing History" (A prof from Northwest sent me this book from one of her favorite authors because she thought I would enjoy it! How sweet is that!!!), I've just started "The Five Languages of Apology", this one's for a summer Bible Study I'm in...don't really know much about it besides the fact that it's about apology. Also reading "Night", a biography of a guy who lived through the Holocaust. I just finished "Deadline", book about three friends and heaven and hell, interesting but not a favorite of mine. I didn't put in any of the authors because I don't know any...I have a few other books I want to start up on soon, one main one being "Mere Christianity" by C. S. Lewis. Never read it and wanted to for a while now.

Not really much else going on. My friends who supply me with much of my summer fun are in Europe for 3 months. Great for them, I'm glad they went, but my summer is definitely lacking random and wildly exciting adventures.
