0 seattle {1}

warning! i'm a bit of a camera whore. i went through & cut out pictures {twice!} i promise. i still ended up with enough pictures to fill two blog posts {three really}. these particular photographs are from the first night & the following day. i enjoyed the sea air, large buildings, the multitudes of interesting people {oh how i love being surrounded by a slew of people}, the food & the coffee {yes! the coffee!}. as i wandered around i decided that if architecture doesn't work out for me i should be the next sartorialist, it's intoxicating to see so many unique people - you don't get that too much in utah. 
the first moments in seattle i was overwhelmed with the same feeling i feel every time i go to an actual city . . . i belong here . . .

i'm kind of obsessed with old sewing machines, so the allsaints store was a vision

you can never go wrong with fried calamari - i also learned that sake is much better hot

space needle on the emp

i think i may be more than just a little in love with you seattle

0 i can run, but i can't walk

. . . normally anyway. this is because i ran my own personal half marathon down big cottonwood canyon. it was pretty awesome, i ran it 20 minutes faster {1:55:29} than my goal {2:15:00} & only died a little bit at the very end when i had to go uphill. ivan was my personal paparazzo, water stationer & cheerleader. it was pretty great {not as great as running in the actual race would have been, but still pretty great}. as a celebratory meal we went to iceberg & i got a double cheeseburger with onion rings instead of fries & a strawberry shake {with fresh strawberries}. it was divine! we immediately went home & napped. we got up with enough time for me to shower {i was too tired to shower previously} & head over to the greek festival to eat lamb, feta & talk politics with friends. it was a pretty great day overall. i will be posting about my trip to seattle very shortly, but there are too many photos for me to go through right now . . . so be patient my friends . . . but not too patient & maybe by then i'll be able to walk normally.

woohoo! i'm done!
