Coupeville, Pacific Northwest, Dec 2007.
The year ended with...
a relaxing trip to the Pacific Northwest
some quality time with my "to be" in laws
lazy lounging rainy days...
opening magic gift boxes filled with trinkets and treasures from Central America
a cup of fresh coffee made especially for me by RC's dad every morning
a girly day of lunching, shopping and talking wedding stuff with RC's mom
artsy walks exploring the islands' many galleries
listening to Jazz and Brazilian tunes
snuggling up on the couch to enjoy oh! so many movies!
drinking beer, wine and eating cookies
sleeping in the most comfortable bed warmed by
an electrical blanket (what an indulgence!)
gasping for air every time I crossed the Deception Pass
driving through wide open fields dotted with old barns
celebrating my birthday with a candlelit dinner
in a cozy restaurant overlooking the sea
witnessing a flock of a hundred wild geese gracefully take flight
and like me, head to a warm exciting new place...
the new year: the year of flight!
The year started with...
adorable guests staying with us
heavenly sushi
lots of dancing and a bit too much drinking!
a walk on the beach
jumping seven (cold) waves while making seven wishes
the love and humbling care of my friend Cat,
who insisted in drying and cleaning my wet/sandy feet
with her wool gloves!!
a gorgeous sunset
lots of napping
a short term project for me to produce: a movie trailer
inspiring talks about change in two thousand and great!
a wedding coming up in 3 months
10 pounds less than last year! (wait. how did that happen?)
an intention: to be a more consistent blogger
a quote:
"the big question is whether you're going to say a hearty yes to your adventure" Joseph Campbell
a question:
are you?

Jumping waves for wishes? I'll try that! [There's a beach in this city, happily :)]

Your wedding in three months? It sounds like a year of exciting adventures for you. As for me, I always say yes to adventures. And I'm hoping to be in San Fran for a few days starting May 19th. Hope we can get together! xo
