If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Lovely Sabbath + hiking season is here/near

Today I went on a hike with three other friends on Little Si after church. It'd been a year since I hiked. I probably wouldn't have gone if J-Chan wasn't "pushing" me that hard. It actually turned out to be a very good hike, way better than I expected. Because last year I struggled on the way up, and since I haven't been exercising as much as I would like to, I was afraid to go and thought I would be dead again. I'm glad I went, and felt really good about myself afterwards for being not so out of shape and even more capable than last year. So now I'm really pumped about the hikes that are yet to come this summer. And if I start taking advantage of the gym membership more, I might be able to do Mt Si again without taking breaks all the way up.

After the hike, we discovered this really cool chocolate shop called "Chocolate Factory" in North Bend Outlet, and had some delicious ice cream there. The weather was just perfect. I'm really happy about Seattle finally getting into the scene of summer. At night, we went to see the new Pixar movie "UP". I felt bad that J-Chan had to drive me around the whole day, and all the way from eastside to campus past midnight. The movie was sublime. I loved it a lot and was super impressed by Pixar's great work. It involved so many types of emotions. The story line was just amazing! I would totally like to see it again. And if you haven't seen it already, you should go.

This post is kind of pointless. But I guess I just can't hide my excitement for the warm weather and the end of the quarter.

    Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (which is where you went at the outlet mall) also has a location in Pioneer Square, and they also make chocolate covered bananas :)

    YUM!
