I am finally going into 6th semester, which means (as long as all goes well...) I have only 7 more months to go!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!! People ask me how I could possibly ever want to leave a Caribbean island... trust me.. its going to be glorious. Supermarkets with non-spoiled milk, fresh vegetables, TRAINED mechanics, cars that run, good plumbing, reliable electricity... I could go on, but you get the idea.
I am currently working on getting a few more photos from the island up, so more to come soon. If you don't see anything new in the next few weeks, drop me an e-mail and remind me! My scattered brain tends to forget...
In April, I finally got to go back to Seattle to visit my brother and a whole bunch of friends. It was my first time back in 5 years, and while much had changed, I was surprised by how much had stayed the same. After so long away, it was wonderful to see friends, friends children, and of course family! It was good to be home :)
I finally got to see Ian's apartment and place of work, one of the most prized bakeries in Seattle, Bakery Nouveau. If you EVER have the chance to check this place out, GO!! You won't be disappointed... (I strongly recommend the twice baked almond croissant...)
Ian, hard at work :)
Good God... look at those pastries....
Ian and I outside his apartment. SOOOOO good to spend time with my brother :) 
Ian and Aleah took me to a little tucked away beach on Puget Sound, overlooking the Olympic Mountains. It was a gorgeous, sunny day, so the mountains were clear and beautiful. 
Pikes Place Market... after two years on an island with no fresh produce, Pikes Place has become my heaven. 
Ian and I got to have dinner one night with Tante Janet. It was so nice to catch up and see each other! 
Ian and his girlfriend, Aleah.

Kate and I at Green Lake. I stayed with Kate at her fabulous condo in Fremont. It was wonderful catching up and her and spending time together. Flashbacks to our days at Middlebury...
