hey remember that one time my friends came to visit?

you probably don't, because i never told you! 7 months later... i am a master procrastinator.

back in the end of august, conner, joshua, and karoline came up to see me for a couple days. then we went down to portland with conner's family for the rest of the week. it was the last time we were all together. cue water works.

conner is now on his mission in brazil, joshua leaves the mtc for korea on monday, and karoline is engaged! and i'm... um, well, let's see. i'm, uh... I bake lots of cakes! wow my life is awesome.

First: to my favorite place on ruston way.

Then off to the mariner's game.

i even love baseball, and that game was super boring. in the middle of which josh leans over, with a dead-pan expression. he says, "Kelli, I have something important to tell you."
"yes, josh?"
"...I really hate baseball."

first night

Tacoma is this really interesting place. Parts of it are terrifying, and parts of it are really lovely. There's this huge contrast everywhere you go. Like, antique stores across the street from graffiti garages. It's kind of everything you would want from a big city without it being a big city. I'd like to maybe live there someday. Old town, though. not the sketchy part. with a nice view of puget sound ala "Ten things I hate about you."

it's good to have dreams, right?

if you're ever in tacoma, you MUST go to the graffiti garages, Marine park on Ruston Way, and the glass museum.
