Arches National Park, Devils Garden, Moab Utah
Arches National Park is a postcard around every corner.
Mike talked me into this one! Totally worth it.
Nice picnic spot, right?

Look closely... there we are!!!
Seattle World Record SNOW Day!!
First, there is the matter of the snow. Thirty four dump trucks full of mountain pass snow from the Cascade mountains (that's 81 TONS). To begin with, each team had a pile of snow, in our case, the Rainier pile!
And we had a dream, to build a snow castle. OK, so it didn't quite look like this when we were done, but we liked the visionary zeal of our leader, Jim Nuerenberg!
The entire event was a fundraiser for one of our favorite charities, Boys and Girls Club of King County.
Mike climbed the turret and let a few snowballs fly, only to be pummeled with ammunition from the waiting crowd - including one iceball that clocked him square in the nose!
Mike (proudly wounded) and I with our friends, Jim and Nancy Nuerenberg. We were pretty cold at this point, having been in the snow for about six hours... but it kept the swelling down.
The official Seattle Times photo of a small fraction of the 5,834 people who were at the Seattle Center to break the world record. Officiated by Guinness, we had to register, sign a waiver and scan in/out with wristbands for a proper headcount. AND WE DID IT! Seattle now holds the record for the world's largest snowball fight :)
Sarah and Mark New Year's Eve Proposal
After a kiss at midnight, Sarah is off to celebrate with friends, oblivious to the fact that Mark has officially dropped to one knee...
This would be the "what are you doing on the floor?" question.
Followed by the BIG question, and we're delighted to report that the answer was YES!!!
A Little Late But 2013 Highlights
I know it's been a week since the new year started but I thought it'd be fun to share some highlights and look back on them. 2013 has been an interesting year, a year of firsts and of broken traditions.
Jan - I met Jack. I thought I really liked him. You can find him on "I Can't Be Silenced" Hmm.. I should write about the conclusion in that one.
Feb - My 18th birthday, which is supposed to be a big day for a filipino turning 18, but it was just a regular day. I take it back, couldn't say it sucked, but it was better than regular.
Jan-June - I liked someone who was two years younger than me and couldn't care about me because he liked my friend: Logan.
April - Franz, who didn't know I existed.
June - I finally graduated after four years of mental torture from the only place I hate the most.
All throughout March all the way to August, I've had the pleasure of stress accompany me as I figured out how I was getting financial aid.
August - I finally got my permit. I also started college.
Sept - My first time going out with people I've never met to San Francisco where it was also my first time drinking and getting drunk. My first time sleeping in the same hotel room with two grown guys as my roommates. Yet, I've never had so much fun.
College was an experience. My first semester was a disaster. I failed a class and missed the final. There's not really much I can say about 2013. I had high hopes for 2013, but it's time to move on. Maybe 2014 will earn me my trip to the East Coast.
