... because it's Monday night study night!
Every Monday a small group of friends get together to study the Watchtower so that we can be prepared for the meeting the next Sunday. It's a great way to enjoy upbuilding association, laughs, and food. We all take turns providing dinner. Tonight's menu by yours truly... Tacos! Can't wait!

New Friends
... because I had an amazing day scuba diving and learning how to surf and met some awesome new people.
My day started off semi-planned, with a scuba diving excursion in the morning. A wreck dive was the first dive and we saw lots of turtles and a white tipped shark. The second dive was a nice shallow reef dive with lots of little fishies and swim throughs. Then two of the girls that were on the dive invited me to join them in their surfing lessons. Something that I hadn't planned on spending money on but always wanted to do so I said "what the heck" sounds like fun!
Surfing was a blast! I caught so many waves... didn't expect to catch so many. During surf lessons, we met another girl from Holland and we all went out for drinks after. The surf instructor and my brother also joined. Now tomorrow the Holland girl and I have a double date with two of the surf instructors. Hahaha, crazy how the day turned into one so unexpected and so fun. Made new friends from Texas, Pennsylvania, Oahu, and Holland!

Curve of the Earth
... because I climbed Mt. Adams last weekend! Not only was I happy for the sense of personal accomplishment, but man, this planet we live on is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! How fortunate we are to have this amazing opportunities if we only seek them out.

Weekends
... because I got to enjoy another glorious weekend making memories with friends, some old some new. Saturday, went white river rafting (had a smile on my face the whole time with pictures to prove it, kicked the soccer ball around with a frien, then went to poker night (ended up in 4th out of about 15, not shabby). Sunday was hiking up Granite Mountain with some friends and my doggy (BEAUTIFUL) and hot yoga for the first time. Man, I'm going to sleep well tonight.

Lunch Buddy
... because my work has an awesome volunteer match program. I was a "lunch buddy" at a local elementary and work matched that with $255 toward the program. Awesome!
Little sad though because today was the last day since school is out soon and it's more then likely that the girl I was assigned to will be changing schools next year since she moved. Looking forward to what the next school year has to offer!

Great weekend, great 2009!
... because I had another fantastic weekend in 2009!
FRI:
The weekend consisted of rollerblading with my dog after work, practicing soccer with a friend, then being kidnapped to go see StarTrek at the IMAX.
SAT:
After about two hours of sleep, drove down to Fort Lewis to help out at the Special Olympics. So much fun! All the contestants were just bundles of joy to be around. Mid day, rode around town on the back of my friends motorcycle to get parts for my motorcycle. Then the evening was a perfect one for my first Sounders game. It was so exciting though it ended in a 1:1 tie. After that we headed to a local bar for a bit.
SUN:
So, I was supposed to go on a sunrise hike, but due to lack of sleep, just ended up sleeping in. I was semi-productive in the morning and washed my car then went to "church". After that my mother came over and we met a group for an 11 mile rollerblading/biking adventure to Red Hook Brewery. The weekend wrapped with a friend coming over for salmon on the grill.
Life is good.
This year is turning out to be one of the funnest (yes, I know that's not a word) ever! Can't wait for more fun-filled, friend-filled sleepless weekends.
