Good Life

Don't you just love the song "Good Life" by OneRepublic? I feel like it has become a life theme song for me...."Woke up in London yesterday...". Good times in the past and good times ahead. :)

So here is what I have been up to in my good life. I went to Seattle for Spring Break. I was so lucky to actually have a Spring Break this year because I am student teaching. BYU doesn't ever get a Spring Break. :)

We drove like crazy to get up there! 12 hours one day. The first day we got there we visited Pike's Place Market. I LOVED it! It was like a cook's dream....haha. Tons of fresh and exotic foods. I tried calamari, kumquats, and a jazz apple for the first time. It was exciting!






































I also got to eat a macaroon for the first time since London. I love these things.


















We picked up some flavored orzo from the market and I made it up into this!








While there we went furniture shopping!













And London found me. As usual! :)




I also went to IKEA for the first time and loved it! Sooo cool!

The rest of the break was full of walks and trips to the park, a trip to visit a whole foods store in Bellevue, fixing up Brad's house, working on my Teacher Work Sample, lesson plans, and applying for jobs, and eating lots of delicious food. :)

On the way home I watched a little Downton Abbey. I think I got the parentals hooked as well. ha. And played one of my favorite new games, thanks to my wonderful roommate Abby.






















It was also great because we got to visit with my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew on the way there and back. I see them on a regular basis, but my parents don't! He is walking now, it is sooo crazy! Isn't he just the cutest?
