Dutchville, WA. USA

YAY random days in Lynden, USA. My friend Liz, JUST moved to Lynden from Seattle *she goes to TWU during the year* and a couple of days ago Maiers, Janny and I went to spend the day with her. It was a fun filled day that included, wandering the crazy dutch town that Lynden is, becoming seniors and joining the red hat crew, wooden shoes, dutch blitz *i bought it there hazzah!!*, a wee park, fake laughing turned to real work out the ab laughter, rad meals, fudge, and amazing friends.



I've had some awesome hang out times with my friends in the last week or so and it just reminds me of how truly blessed I am that they are in my life for longer than a blink of an eye. Hahaha, last night i was called "one of the guys". it made me laugh.

confusion leads to camping!

I went camping this weekend with some friends, hahah after three trys we found a campsite at Chilliwak lake *yes this means nothing to you i'm aware* i'd never been there and was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of it. Here are some random pictures for ya.




I had time to finish the Velvet Elvis this weekend as well...pick it up.
