Seattle Part 1

Ok guys. I was just about to take a nap and I decided that I should journal about my trip so far so that I don't forget anything! So I left early on Wednesday morning! I wore a nice traveling outfit and still felt comfortable the whole time. I got to my gate on time and was able to purchase a magazine for my flight. There were no screaming babies or loud children on this flight! I squeezed in a tiny bit of rest and before I knew it we were landing in Seattle 10min early! I have to say, I was kind of happy to see it raining when we landed. Just because its Seattle rain! Heaven and her friend Caroline picked me up a little late because they got caught in some traffic. When we were driving to Heavens apartment the rain really picked up and there were some semi scary parts of the drive when a ton of water would get splashed onto the windshield and we couldn't see for a second. And there were a few times when Heaven and Caroline would scream. It was so funny. We went to a small part of the mall that was all Filipino. Caroline picked up some food but Heaven and I decided to get some food somewhere else :) Then we made our way to Heavens apartment. I got myself a little situated and then we headed out to walk to Fremont for some Pho. Right before we got the Pho I spotted a music store and asked Heaven if the sold instruments there. She said yes, and I had a mission in mind. For a few weeks now I have been wanting to buy a new harmonica. So we decided to take a look. They had some! So I bought a cute one! I am so happy that we found that place and that I was able to buy a new harmonica! And it was only $10! Then the Pho place was really yummy! I had Shiracha for the first time ever! It was good. Next Heaven had class. We were a little late, but it was ok because the teacher wasn't even there yet! Then Heaven worked on her art project, a french press pouring a book, protractor, and pencil into a cup like coffee :) After that we had to go back to the apartment to change my shoes and then head out to Heavens workplace. I was able to meet her coworkers and boss that evening. I also got to try a Spicy Dark Hot Chocolate. It was amazing. I have never been a hot cocoa fan. But this changed my mind! I loved it so much that I already have had another one since then! I worked on some Calculus review and talked to a few people on chat while Heaven worked. Once she got off work at 7:45pm we walked down the street to Trader Joes and Safeway and bought our groceries for the visit. We almost went to Menchies (frozen yogurt), but decided to not have too many treats in one day! Back at the apartment we sliced a french bread baguette and poured two glasses of red wine. Then we feasted on bread, brie, grapes, wine, and of course, chocolates! It was a perfectly divine dinner for the tiring and busy day we had. We felt so relaxed and cheery! Afterwards we made some of the objects that will be in Heavens art project. Then we cleaned up and went to bed. I had a normal night of sleep. Which means a bad night of sleep. Ugh. I woke up at 5am and couldn't get back to sleep. But its ok. I woke Heaven up at 7:45am even though we were going to get up at 7:30am originally. I didn't want to get out of bed. But eventually we both did and we started making some breakfast right away. We had some hashbrowns and eggs. I had a glass of milk too! Then we got dressed for our run and went out running! It was more hills then I am used to running on, but we made it through! Then we showered and got all prepped for the day. For the few hours that we had before Heaven had to go to work we decided to go downtown and visit Pikes Place Public Market. It was so cool! There was so much to see and taste! Too much in fact. We were running out of time fast so we decided to go back over the weekend. But before we left we made sure to grab some Piroshky for our lunches. Its a Russian bread type thing with meat and cheese inside. They were really yummy. And we had to stop at the first ever Starbucks and get some coffee. Then once we got on the bus going to Heavens work we split up. I got off at a park to take some photos of the city skyline and the space needle and she kept going towards work. Then when I was done there I walked the few blocks up to her work. I browsed a few shops before heading back to her apartment. And thats where I am now! I am about to start making pizza for our dinner and I'll bring it up to Heavens work so we can eat together! Ok, well thats all for now!
