Northwest good times

Good times in the northwest indeed. Many events have taken place in the last two weeks. weird to think, but it has already been two weeks back here in the evergreen state. there have been many good times in bellingham, vancouver bc, seattle, sea tac in general, and bellingham yet agian.
highlights in bellingham: seeing the roommates again. such fun. it's been good to hang out with the dudes yet again at the north star, have some grub together, and to reunite with other friends in the bham area. but that also goes for alaska peeps as well. round one of bham times mostly consisted of hanging out with juneau friends, many of which were about to leave the northwest for a very long time.
but it all started in seattle. what a reunion. sea tac was a reunion for the books. we all met out at the arrival pick-up area. just jumping and screaming and laughing. then to pikes place market for some sharpin'. but before we got there, dash, shmashmisha, and i picked up my sister from the u district and headed out. it was great. reunion with the smifter and then hangout in the market. we mostly looked at stuff but then we got some food and drank, took some pics, checked out the gum wall, and then dispursed. shmashmisha and i met up with some peoples, ate some pizza, and then i stayed up til the wee hours of the night chatting it up with the guys at the north star. a real treat.
the next day was full of canada. we took the sky train into downtown for some shopping at h&m. cleaned that place out. best part of the day: bicycling through stanley park. what a ginormous place.

seattle:
hangout at safeco field. monday, tuesday, and wednesday. the last three games of the season. booya. so much fun. they won the first one. no more. ben, bryce, and sommers and i saw the first one, sister and i saw the second, and then all of us from juneau went to the last game of the season. so many good times that last day. again, the mariners lost buuut i did win an awesome vacation to sun river. at safeco field. they were calling out winning seats all night for these getaways and this was one of those seats. holy crap, what wonderful luck. i loved it.
after the game we went to pyramid, had some beers, and then dropped off shmecca at sea tac. there she goes to cali, then to rome.
then after that i got to reunite with many a friends from high school and even a lot of our peeps from ecuador. awesome to see how everybody was doing

back to bellingham
the time is just flying by here in the ham. so many people to see, so little time. i leave the ham in about 12 hours from now. back to the couve, where i will also have little time. time to hang out with friends and the fam.
