You've got to be kidding me.

No wait, that's right, I live in Seattle.

Check out this article on summer in Seattle this year.

Yeah. We've only had 78 minutes (mind you, that is 1 hour and 18 minutes) of weather over 80 degrees. All summer.

Okay that's just depressing. How about weather over 75 degrees?

18 hours and 48 minutes.

Dude, that's not even a full day, you realize?!

ALL SUMMER.

I'm sure all you crazy cloud-loving people are just tickled, but I mean, really. 80 degrees isn't all that hot compared to what the rest of the country is getting right now. I'm sitting here feeling like I should have homework to do, that's how dreary it is.

The grass is still green!

Oh Seattle, you grieve my soul.

Oh life....

So. Pictures....of life! From the last...3-4 months or so! Minus the pics from Nationals, which ideally shall come later.

Portland, Oregon for the Region II tournament. My favorite thing about this picture is Raymond in the background... =]

Adventuring out to see Jane Eyre with Gray and Ophelia...

My awesome Silversmith speech club. LOVE.

Co-op semi formal...sooo much fun! Except that swing dancing on a boat is *not* that smart...

John-Luke's 10th birthday - I made him a lego cake. =]

Co-op graduation. (not my high school graduation, just co-op graduation)

So...I have pretty much grown up with these girls all my life. <3

One-day production of Fiddler on the Roof. Good times, that.

Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match....

Summer weather with my crazy dog....

...and my crazy friends....

...and crazy siblings...

But somehow, it's the middle of July and I'm still wearing jeans...something is wrong with this picture....oh, Seattle....

Impatience.
