The Majestic Mountains!

I decided to take a week off from work while I could. Before the holiday rush that’s soon to come. It was rather nice. Nothing to worry about for a full week! Though I hate how having time off means I end up spending more money than usual. But it was nice to get out and do things.
The last few days of my vacation Kai and I took a trip upstate into the MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS in Mazama… where ever that might be. There was no phone signal so I have no effen clue exactly where we went since google maps wouldn’t work. It was really far though. A nice 3-4 hour drive to the middle of nowhere. When we stopped at the first overlook on a cliff it started to snow! Really slow, light kind of snow. Kind of like the gentle and fake looking snow you usually see in movies. Only apparently gentle snow isn’t fake. I suppose I’m use to the snow we’d get in New York which was pretty much an angry cloud violently vomiting up heavy and often wet snow like substance all over everything at the most inconvenient of times. So yeah, this wasn’t like that.
It was a really nice experience though. I’d never seen mountains like that in person. Was something like the panoramic views of nature you’d see on the national geographic channel or something. It’s so much different in person though. The sheer size of everything. Out on a tall cliff in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains on all sides.

We ended up staying and Kai’s Uncle’s Girlfriend’s cabin in the woods. A nice warm place to hang around and watch Jdrama all day. We did some sight seeing around the small neighboring towns. I went to my first wine tasting 8D and at no point did I get attacked by a bear. Over all a good weekend.

Goodbye, Hello, Happy Birthday! and The Universe

This post is pretty back dated but in need of publishing! After all the planning, the ups, downs, complications and slight loss of sanity I’m finally in Seattle… How? I look back on it now and think… Did I really just do all of this?! Did I seriously re-locate myself to the complete opposite side of the country, leaving everything behind by uprooting my job and all known stability in my friends and family? Did I really completely turn my world upside down in less than a years time? Why, yes. Apparently I did. If I could go back and tell myself where I would be and what I would be doing I doubt I’d really believe it. Though it is quite eye-opening to see what I’m truly capable of when I really want something. I’m kinda sad that aspect of me has been suppressed for so many years. Either way, I’m finally starting to feel some sort of true happiness. For that, all the bad and crazy events leading up to the move was well worth it. So lets move on to talking about life again.
