fun fall times

even with the shocking 20° drop in temps from sat-sunday i've gotten out to enjoy the fall weather quite a bit.
it's just so lovely.
i had my first (of many) experience going out of my walking path to crunch a particularly crunchy leaf.

monday karen & i walked over to the lake for a fun little picnic.  the waves crashed onto the sidewalk in front of us and we could watch them crash alllllll the way down the path.  that was fun.


yesterday i had a department retreat for work (which may I say was basically pointless and pretty awfully planned... but) we went kayaking for our "bonding" part.  i got to share a kayak with one of my favorite co-workers who i don't get to socialize with very often.
she's super competitive so i had to warn her i am not, but we did pretty well.  afterwards other co-workers said how we were "beasts" (not the word i would have chosen).  i said, "yeah, we kept up with with boys."  we did go pretty speedy if I say so myself.  but we were in the industrial part of the river... that wasn't my favorite part, but it was such a beautiful day.
Colleen & I are so far in the front, we're only little specks ;)

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
