143 = I Love You

The four day weekend has come and gone and so have the three Corner House girl visitors! After a busy busy week of student teaching and school work, I was happy to get a break. It began with a spontaneous drive to Ellensburg to visit JACKIE! I must say, a 3 hour drive was the best thing I could have had after a week of school. I couldn't do anything other than think and listen to music! So relaxing! Being with Jackie in her apartment was wonderful! We stayed up late and drank wine then enjoyed a coffee shop the next morning. Being less than 3 hours away is SO much better than 7. Good choice Jackie for picking Central :)

Friday I headed back to Spokane just in time for the arrival of Claire, Ande and Lindsay. We came together in Joanna's living room and did a really good job of relaxing on couches and eating trail mix....for about 3 hours. After deciding cooking would be too much work, we headed to our favorite place, Taste of Thai! The night was still young though. Ebay and I took a detour and headed to Josh's goodbye party (he is leaving the country for a year!). We spent some time drinking Sangria, teaching Jai Ho and the Jerk and then learning how to Dougie. It was a great time with the Westies. We met up with the other girls back at Zolas and danced to live music, gained life points and ran into some familiar faces.

Saturday was spent making chocolate chip pancakes, drinking coffee, walks in the sunhine that was 20 degrees, accounting work, coffee with friends, laundry, journaling, guitar practice, homework, episodes of FRIENDS, Despicable Me, WinCO trip, Target run, mashed potatoes, asparagus and chicken, dinner on the floor and BIG ALS. Of course we had to make the trip to the stateline for a night at Big Als. We danced around, met up with other friends, sang at the top of our lungs and made more lifelong memories. Upon our 2am arrival home, we demolished a chocolate birthday cake (for Joanna and Claire).

Sunday wrapped up the time with the girls. We fellowshiped at church and heard the last part of the Sex series...then headed out to Chaps for a birthday breakfast for Jo and Claire. Let's just say we spent a good two hours there because we did not want to part.

Thanks girls for coming over! Danika and Em, we missed you more than you know but June will come faster than you know!
