This girl is back in town.

You thought I had gone MIA, unfortunately, no that's not the case. I have been very busy and it doesn't appear that things are going to slow down any time soon. I'm actually looking forward to this summer, like I said back in April, summer is going to be great. It already has been.

I'd like to apologize for not being on top of the blogosphere but I will get back in the game, I want to keep you dear readers in touch with my exciting day to day.

Recappin' the past:

Since I last spoke with you I had a visitor, Brett, came in town. It was great to have him here, we got to Seattle it up. He's talking about coming back sometime soon. Hopefully it is a possibility.

Scott was also in town at the beginning of May and it was nice to have him here. We went to Leavenworth which is probably the coolest place, EVER. It is a Bavarian town in the middle of no where Washington - that's right folks, it's Bavarian by CITY LAW. All store fronts look Bavarian, it's wonderful. I am definitely making place to go back for Oktoberfest. Whoop, whoop.

I also made a trip to NYC to visit Scott and had a good time. NYC is just one of those places you love to be in. Such a wonderful vibe. It's pperrrrffeeecct.

Last week I got to go the Red Sox/Mariners games and regardless of the sweet things getting swept, I had such an amazing time. Baseball games are just incredible - the people, the antagonizing fans, the spirit, the smells, the sun. I absolutely love it. I also was on MLBTV a few times during the game, I can't say I blame them for picking me out of the crowd, I mean it is my face and all. Ha.

Work is going really well. Busy but great. I'm really feeling competent at my job and I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it. We will see once I have my review next week if my boss feels the same :) But in the 4 1/2 months I have been here, I think I've covered a lot of ground and learned a tremendous about myself. I think that's what's important. What's even more important is that I love my career self. I rock.

Now Patrick and Chris are in town for the week and I'm looking forward to showing them Seattle's digs. We went to Chinook's last night for dinner (a restaurant in Fisherman Terminal) and I'm not sure if we have much on the agenda for tonight. Definitely going to try to loop them into some pretty great Fourth of July plans. I'll let you know.

Here's the score for the rest of the summer:

Patrick/Chris here until July 9

Scott here from July 8 - 24, I think?

Portland for Skull Island Fiesta July 20-22

My 15 mile relay July 28

Maybe a friend in town July 27-29

Red Sox and Zach Aug 3-5

Neil/Antonia in town Aug 9 - 14

Home to Mom and a glass full of sweet tea Aug 15-20* I think

Yup, like I said, it's going to be a great summer.
