these are a few of my favorite things: part three.

-Turtlenecks: When I was little turtlenecks were cool, then not so cool, and now I love them once again! I just got a new one for work so I can stay warm, and I want to wear it 24/7.

-Christmas Cookies: Don't get me wrong, cookies are good all year round, but something about making cookies at Christmas and sharing them with friends makes them all the better. Especially warm fresh out of the oven cookies!!

-Late Night Sledding: So last night may have been the first time I have done this... but it was AWESOME. The Konzelman's invited Katie and I to their friend's the Edstroms who happen to live on a 1/2 mile long, perfect grade hill. With all the snow, then freezing temperatures, the hill was like glass. This is not the kind of hill you can use plastic saucers on, no. Farah... you will be pleased to know that we used REAL sleds. Like the ones you collect!!!! :) Another wonderful part about this sledding adventure was that we didnt have to walk back up the hill!!! They had quads to tow us up, and a neighbor was driving truckloads of people back and forth as well!

-Snow: I really can't get enough of it. I don't want it to leave!!! [ And it looks like it won't for a while at least! :) ] I wish that this small amount of snow covering the ground would stay all winter long! It just makes everything look so pretty and clean! I especially like when snow piles up on the tiny sticky branches of leafless trees. AHH! Its beautiful.

-My job: This job is seriously PERFECT for me right now. I love making coffee, and cleaning. Which I do a lot of! I love getting to know customers, and then seeing them outside of Forza. I really enjoy my co-workers. Lately I have been working with Michelle or Sarah all the time at the drive thru, and we are always laughing. Like when Michelle told me Leavenworth has rams at their putt putt golf course, or when I sprayed the ceiling with water and accidently sprayed Sarah as well.

two and a half years later and i'm still trying....

Washignton-named after the first president of the United States, George Washington-was admitted into the Union in 1889, making it the 42nd state. The Cascade Moutain Range [which includes from north to south: Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Adams] divides the state in two: western Washington and eastern Washington. Western Washington has a 'marine west coast climate', with mild weather, wet winters, and dry summers. This part of the state also supports 'dense forests of conifers and areas of temperate rainforests.' Eastern Washington has a relatively dry climate due to the rainshadow effect of the Cascades. Washington is truly a 'land of contrasts': deep forests saturate the Olympic Peninsula, while the eastern part of the state is a semi-desert. The state dance, adapted in 1979, is the square dance. And while its no surprise that the state fruit is the apple, you might not have known that Washington had a state FOLK song-Roll on, Columbia, Roll on, or that the state gem is petrified wood.
