Today was good.
» The Bond's

Today we went to Lucca- it's this smaller town by Pisa and you can rent bikes and ride on the wall of that surrounds the city. it was cool! Really cute city too!

Then we went over to Pisa! It was really cool seeing the tower, tourists and all. The tower is actually quite smaller than I imagined...it's only 7 stories, but it looks even smaller! I enjoyed this!

We leave on a night train tonight to Munich! I dont know why, but i am sooo excited for Germany. I think its a mixture of the fact that Kellen is really excited to go there, and also that I am developing a slight love of beer...weird I know, since before this trip I hated it. It tastes so good, especially since its the only drink that is basically ICE cold here in Europe. THey dont really do cold drinks here.

As for your comment Kate, i am actually a bit disappointed cause I havent noticed a big difference. Maybe its just something that will sneak up on me...like i get home and way myself and am miraculously 10 lbs less...at least thats what im hoping for!

In Florence
» The Bond's

Well we rolled into Florence yesterday morning on a fast train from Rome. Luckily we had no problems getting here and finding our campsite, which was a HUGE relief. We are really taking it easy here- mainly because we are both just getting really tired (we have walked SO much on this trip!). But florence is a really pretty city and it is SO hot here right now, i wouldnt be surprised if i found out it is in the 90's. Yesterday we went to the city and just walked around- couldnt get into the duomo because i am a skank (lol) well not quite, you just can't be wearing tank tops- but we has a good time just strolling down streets and getting lost for a good 4 or 5 hours. We had some gelato (yum) and headed home.

Back at the campsite we met this couple that is from seattle. Weird huh? They are prolly in their early 30's, but a super nice couple. They are here for 3 months (crazy!) and are BIKING everywhere! WOW. they said they had already gone over their goal of 2,000 miles. Thats a lot of biking.

Today was pretty relazed again. We just went into town and wondered, once more. I decided not to worry myself over the many churches and museums to see. They im sure they are gorgeous/cool, we need a bit of a break. I was excited however because i got this really cool small globe that i really wanted. I am trying to get stuff for a "world travel" room in our apt/house.

We are missing home a bit but really excited for Germany. We leave for Pisa tommorow for a day trip and then we head to munich on a night train. By the way, I forgot to say that the last night train we took we were in a room with nuns. Awesome.

The Pope-lets just say were pretty much bffs now
» The Bond's

Well not quite. But I did visit his vicinity today! St peter's basilica--wow, now that is a huge, beautiful church. Not sure if Kellen is liking these catholic churches though...i mean, he likes the architecture and all that, but he is just SOOO bothered by the Mary thing. I have to admit, it bothers me too...a lot. But nothing compared to him. He is just so frustrated and think that the Roman catholics idolize mary way to much (and their popes for that matter). I have to agree. The creepy thing is that they have a few of their past popes remains "preserved" so you can still see them. It's really scary....gave me the chills. But the church itself is worth the trip...absolutley amazing!

We also went the Vatican Museum, which was really cool too. I won't go into detail since we saw A LOT. At the end you get to see the Sistine Chapel, which has the famous paitning of Michelango's on the ceiling (the man reaching his finger out to God and God reaching back, i guess this represents the creation of Adam....PS- get used to the nakedness if you ever want to enjoy art in europe, lol). It was pretty cool to see this in person.

Tommorow I think we will just bum around a bit. Maybe go to the trevi fountain and get some souveneirs. woohoo!

All roads lead to Rome...
» The Bond's

I love how all my titles here have been so cheesy. ha, gotta love the cheese :)

I am going to be completley honest about how I am feeling right now. First of all, I want to say that I am so very THANKFUL to God for giving me this trip, and i DO NOT take it for granted. I just want to be honest...thats all.

Rome is yet another huge city to tackle I feel. I think that after coming from both London and Paris, it was not such a good idea to put Rome in there too. My idea of the european adventure was a lot more like where i stayed in Asutria- a small little town in the alps. But to be honest, cities are well...cities. Crowded, busy, and easy to get lost. I will explain.

When we got here on the night train in the morning from Nice, we arrived at 930am. It took us around 2-3 hours to finally find our campsite after getting on the wrong city tram. With our huge backpacks and no food, this meant extreme grumpiness. Finally we got to the site, which is actually really nice and quite close to the city.

Rome is actually really cool, but for the same reasons that London and Paris are cool too (kellen says it,s like one big architectural museum, hehe). There are differences, obviously, but once again my frustration is just that with a new HUGE city comes trying to navigate around masses of people and figuring out exactly which bus or metro to catch (although rome is a bit easier this way).

Now I will stop complaining because I feel like a big brat. Kellen is still cracking me up. Every country we go to its like he takes on this new person. For instance, in france he kept just putting le in front of everything (le mcdonalds, le beach, le dog). Now that we are in Rome he is just saying everything with an italian accent and a O or E on the end. So funny.

Today we wen to see the colloseum (sp?) and Palantine Hill. We took a walking tour through this and it was really cool. Kellen really enjoyed it, considering his favorite movie (or one of them) is gladiator...whod thunk....

Nice is Nice
» The Bond's

OK, sorry, HAD to do it (the title i mean).

Actually, nice is quite wonderful, a tad more than just NICE. It's gorgeous here!! We laid out on the beach today for like 5 hours, feeling a bit crispy but i dont think that's a bad thing! Kellen has been super excited because the EURO cup is going on right now, a huge soccer tournament between all the european countries and it's being played in pretty much every bar in europe. So neeedless to say, he has spent quite a bit of time enjoying many mugs of beer and watching european football. Last night I joined him....fun! haha well really it's just good to be spending time together...A LOT of time, hehe. I kind of miss my girlfriends a bit, i am in need of a long girly conversation...lol. But nonetheless, we are still really enjoying ourselves.

As for more on Paris, we definately had to most fun on our bike trip to Versailles. We stayed toward the front most of the time, and it really felt like it was just me, kellen, and the tour guide most of the time. We met a really nice couple from Western Australia- probably about our grandparents age- and we had some good conversations with them It was funny when they started talking to me about American politics- it's like they wanted my opinion but they knew more than i did! Supposedly John McCain is 76 years old? and i hear this from an Australian...sad...haha

The chateau was absolutely amazing. IN fact, all the architecture/buildings/churches we went to see in Paris were basically breathtaking. Despite that you had to push your way through thousands of other tourists, I would say that Paris is definately worth seeing.

Nice is quite different, however, a bit more laid back, but still a really fun town. It seems like it must be a main shopping cenral for the south of france-- TONS of cute shops with adorable clothes. One thing me and kellen definately decided- Euorpeans have GREAT fashion sense.

Pressed for time..which sucks
» The Bond's

Wow I didn't get to write in Paris at all and this made me really sad because it was super fun. And now I'm in Nice and there are people waiting for the computer...silly nicole, im always the one to feel bad for people :(. So I will try to sum up Paris to the best of my ability:

I felt like it was a lot like London, as in, crowded and just a HUGE city. It got nice the last couple days we were there, which was really good. We hit up some of the major sites- eiffel tower on our first night (really fun!) stchappelle, notre dame, and then, of course, our BIKE TRIP to versailles, which was SUPER fun.

In belgium it seemed like everyone spoke english. In france, this is NOT the case. I am thankful for those 2 years of french I took, though honestly the amount I know could be summed up in the first page of a "learn french" guide book. Kellen, however, is cracking me up with the language thing. At first he just didnt get that people didnt understand him. He's so sweet, he tried asking if this couple needed help getting a stroller down the stairs. He said to them "you got it??" and they just kinda stared at him. hehe. He's getting used to it now, however, and let's just say I do most of the talking.

We camped in Paris- this was interesting. It was actually a nice campsite- intended for tourists of Paris, so there was a shuttle that ran between it and the city (a quick 10 min ride). The only issue we faced was that we had no mats-- and this meant sleeping pretty mich directly on rocks! OUCH! that was one of the only reasons I was happy to leave Paris.

Now we are in Nice and we were beach bums all day today. We even have our own little private room with one bed for the two nights we will be here (i splurged for this town!hehe). It's so fun here....but I'll write more later I hope--

The Venice of the North
» The Bond's

That´s what they call it here i guess, and I can see why. This town is gorgeous. It looks like it´s straight out of a magaziné. Cobblestone streets, gorgeous churches and once again, AMAZING architecture. Yesterday we got here on a train from Brussels (which came from London) at around 1pm. We headed over to a local brewery for a tour through the small family owned factory. Kellen seemed to really enjoy this. We even got to sample it at the end, and, I have to say, though I am not the biggest fan of beer, it was actually quite good. After that we just wondered the streets a bit and found ourselves in the middle of town, which is distinctinctly marked by a huge church called the Belfry and tons of little shops. At the bottom is a frites stand selling authentic belgian (sp) frites (fries'. yum. We got ourselves some of these, and then went to a local pub so Kellen could enjoy some more Belgian been, which, in his opinion, is ¨pretty darn good¨ Today we got to sleep in, a much needed sleep since we have calculated that we´ve probably walked around 6 straight hours a day every day since we got here. Woke up to some belgian waffles, and then we went to this AWESOME second hand store. It was an amazing find and we bought ¨souveneirs¨ for cheap! We got some belgian chocolate and then went to the chocolate museum!! My favorite thing. SO I´d say we did pretty good. We got kellen´s favorite down, beer, and mine too, chocolate. This town is simply delicious.

Cash Point??!
» The Bond's

Today was a really fun day. Kellen and I decided that for only 3 full days, we pretty much DOMINATED London. lol. By dominated I mean we pretty much packed these days as full as we could- bus tour, changing of the guards, greewich- and today was just as packed.

We started our morning by heading to the 'Cafe in the Crypt' near Trafalgar Square- the place that we were told we HAD to go by Jackie. It was pretty cool as it was in the bottom of a church and had gravestones on the ground. I needed to get out some more money so I asked a girl was the nearest ATM was. She looked at me TOTALLY confused. So i tried to explain...this really didnt go well. Finally a different came up and so i tried explaining to her what an atm was. Finally she says 'Oh! you want a cashpoint!' I was like...um yeah! I think that's it..lol

Next we tubed it to the tower of london. It was really cool- the tower is not really just a tower- it's actually like a big castle. This is also where the Queen holds her crown jewels (including her crown today). Wow was it gorgeous. The castle was pretty cool too, and Kellen seemed to really like it, although he wished he could go in all the 'secret' doors and stairways that were closed off to the public.

Next we jetted over to Kensington Palace. We didn't actually go in, but instead, we went to the orangery, the tea house that was once used by the Queen for tea parties and such. This was denifinitely cool since we got to have afternoon tea and the most AMAZING spongecake I've ever tasted!! MMMM and it was gorgeous inside!

AFTER that we went to Camden market to pick up some cheap souveneirs. I got a cute little teapot (I thought this best represented England) and a poster. Kellen got a jersey from the Football( soccer) team in England.

We picked up some pizza and rode this bus up to Hampstead Heath to overlook the city at Parliament Hill. It was pretty up there and a really nice park area. On our walk we overheard a coversation with a mom and her little boy (must read in british accent to be cute):

mom: yes, they eat fish (speaking of the birds)
little boy: Fish!? I eat fish!!
mom: yes you do, dear

Very cute. Love that british accent. Want to bottle it up and bring it home---

When it's 3 o'clock in New York, it's still 1928 in London--Bette Midler
» The Bond's

This quote truly sums up London. Today I even told Kellen 'If you just look up and not look down at the cars, it really feels like your in Old London Town.' It's true- and so awesome. Today we went to see the changing of the guards (you were right, Kate, not all it's cracked up to be) but still worth the see. Always cool to see those guards with the huge Olives on their heads. At least that's what I use to pretend they were when I was litte. I use to put black olives on my fingers and pretend like they were british soldiers, so this was just a dream come true to see them in person! haha. It got really hot today (as opposed to yesterdays rain) so that was nice!! i may have even got a bit of a sunburn, which we all know turns into something beautiful :) Well kellen is watching me write all of this right now so this is a bit awkward. He just told me that my face expressions change with what I write. lol love you all--

A bit chilly, love.
» The Bond's

WWell London is WOW. Let's just say not what I expected, in both a good and bad way. I will explain. Our trip into town last night from on the tube was our first real experience with the real london and it was...well...AWFUL. We got lost quite a few times and it was RUSH HOUR so literally there are probably thousands of people rushing around in tiny hallways getting onto overcrowded trains. With 25lb packs, this just simply was not fun. We also got stuck on one that had technical problems-standing- for about 20 minutes. I was SO hot from running around with my pack and having a jacket on that I was literally pouring sweat and pretty sure I grossed all the people out around me that were---oh--- about 2 inches from my sweaty face.

But let's get the good part!

London is AMAZING as far as architecture. There are soooo many cool old buildings that seriously make you feel like you could have been there back when all there was was cobblestone alleyways and brick buildings. We both woke up REALLY early for some reason- like 5 am- and decided to go for a long walk. We walked FOREVER it seemed like but it was sooo good because it was light and and there was barely anyone out. First we walked down the the London Eye- Lodnon's enormous ferris wheel that sits right in the city on the Thames River. Then we walked along the river. This walk is actually called the Queen's Walk and we got to see great views of BIg Ben and the Tower Bridge. We ended back at our hostel and enoyed a free hostel breakfast, though resisting going to Starbucks was QUITE tough knowing our Seattle blood. We took the bus tour today and really enjoyed it- it gave us a great overview of the city and really helped for us to recover from still a bit of Jetlag. It was also good to be under a covered area since most of the time it was raining outside.

My last post before i DIE
» The Bond's

ok sorry about the extreme title, haha. It just reminds me of what my dad thinks of me going to Europe- that every bad thing that can happen will happen (including a layover in Dallas for 4 days?! hahaha). Well I am so excited right now I'm really at a loss for words. The one thing I can ask is that if you are reading this you can pray for us while we are gone- specifically that God provides and we don't run out of money half way through and are forced to be homeless in a strange town, hitchhikin' it back to London...

That is somewhat my only concern :)

Amber's bridal shower was today. Very fun! I can't wait for the bachelorette party...it's going to be RIDICULOUS!

Amber is coming over to cut my hair tonight. Why is everyone freaking out about having someone cut my hair that is not professionally trained (sorry, amber!). It's really not a big deal...how hard can it be?? (note to self: look up "how to cut hair" on google tonight)

Poor Space Bar:(
» The Bond's

My little space bar came off and now all that is left is a tiny button. This slows my typing immensely...sadly enough. But other than that little mishap, life has been pretty great lately. Only one week until we are actually IN London which is SOOO exciting! We moved out this weekend so now we are staying with our grandparents in Lakewood, which has been pretty fun so far. My aunt and little cousin were here yesterday and let's just say my little cousin is..."interesting." She sneaks anything with sugar up into the guest bedroom and just sits up there eating it and watching tv. Today (after they had left last night) I went in there because I saw a few pb choc. chips sprinkled on the ground. I was extremely surprised to find hiding behind the bed a costco sized box (almost empty) of fruit snacks, a huge pile of pb chips, and an empty bag of marshmallows. Then i found hiding underneath the stuffed animals on the bed an empty box of nilla wafers and an empty bottle of sprinkles. umm....can you say diabetes waiting to happen??? My grandma was a little frustrated with this (as you can imagine..). Once again, the child is INTERESTING.

We got our sleeping bags today! They only weigh 2 lbs each. Pretty cool.

Tonight we are going to Indiana Jones!! WooHoo!

Visit with Mother
» The Bond's

I went to see my mom at her new place in Seattle yesterday. She wanted to know how the bus system worked (she had never been on one before) so we rode the bus to the university district. We went shopping at some cool thrift stores. Then I thought I'd introduce her to bubble tea. After a bit of hesitation, she finally took a sip of mine and actually liked it. She had no bubbles in that sip, however, so I convinced her to try a bubble. Once she got one in her mouth, she made this gross face and then spit out--right onto the glass table between us. It was pretty gross and funny at the same time. I guess it just grossed her out to bad....but spit it out on the table? Not sure the most appropriate reaction haha. So then on our way home we were walking to the bus stop and some man passed us and as he was passing he pointed to me and said "I like your nose! It's cute!"......weird. But it made me laugh anyway. So the first bus trip ended up being OK for my mom, except on the way back we ended up sitting by this very large man that sounded like he was hacking up a lung/throwing up at the same time. (he was really just coughing). But it was the most disgusting sound ever. Not sure if mother will be riding the bus again anytime soon!

Amazing Grace
» The Bond's

What a great song, and coincidentally, a great movie too now, which I just finished watching.

Well packing is going good and we are almost out of here! 11 Days till we leave to be exact. Planning is falling into place and going really good.

Kellen's bday party was quite a big hit and we were definitely blessed with GREAT weather. His whole family came down and a bunch of friends. It was really good to see everyone and always kind of cool to see our families together (though they are so different!). My grandpa is always the life of the party- this time he graced everyone with mardi gras beads around their necks, leftovers from some motorcycle rally he went to (i guess their weren't enough attractive women willing to...well..you know...yikes!). He has a tendency to share things with others without actually asking if they want it...ie...the necklaces--and spray on sunscreen at my rehearsal dinner for my wedding. haha. Anyway, he is pretty hilarious.

I was worried about the food since I was actually planning the party by myself and only bought 24 hot dogs and 24 hamburgers. Well more than 24 came and only about 2 hot dogs got eaten...so, you do the math, and somehow their were enough hamburgers for everyone. We (amber and i) decided that Jesus must have pulled one of those multiplying the food acts again. Awesome.

The Meaning of Friendship
» The Bond's

This weekend I got to hang out with my friend Kate in Seattle. But to explain how I felt about that...I'll have to tell you about a conversation about friendship I had with my sister in law, Amber.

When I got home (my second home-my in laws house haha), Amber was at home and we started talking about friends and such. I won't go in to details what got us on the subject, but we started to talk about true friends and how you know someone is a true friend. She said to me something along the lines of "When your with a true friend you should leave them feeling refreshed and happy you hung out with them." I agreed, and smiled because I totally knew thats the feeling I had from hanging out with Kate in Seattle- refreshed and happy because not only do I care about what's going on in her life- but I know she honestly cares about what's going on in mine as well. It isn't a selfish friendship- and those are the ones you can really call "true".

So, needless to say, I enjoyed my time in Seattle :)

On Sunday Kellen and I went to the swap meet after church. Other than the awkward feeling that we were the only white people, it was a quite enjoyable time. I'm pretty sure Kellen just uses the swap meet as an excuse to look for more huskies paraphernalia and drool over power tools he can't afford- even when they are half off. I told kellen I could get him a husky shirt that he was looking at for a dollar- he didnt believe me. Well I got it for that, but the guy also yelled out that I was cheap in front of about 10 other people...oh well..haha. That's what the swap meet is all about! You never pay the price they offer!

Mother's day was celebrated by dinner at the Keg restaurant in Tacoma. Other than my little cousin making some very odd jokes she admitted to "making up," we had a good time hanging out with family. We went to see the movie Fool's Gold afterwards, for some more cheap entertainment at 2.00 a pop for a movie ticket. It was a CUTE movie...one of those feel good romantic comedies. I recommend it :)

10 Months Blessed
» The Bond's

Today Kellen and I have been married for 10 months. It has been the BIGGEST blessing of my entire life. I love him so much. Everyday he encourages me in everything- in life, in love, and in my relationship with the Lord. He makes me laugh every single day too-no matter what mood he's in when he gets home- we are always laughing by the time we go to bed. The funny thing is that our best times are when were doing practically nothing-watching a movie or something- and then we just start laughing. Anyway, I love him so much and couldn't think of a different path I would have chosen for my life than to be married at 20 and 21 to him. God has blessed me so much.

Tired, But Can't Sleep
» The Bond's

I started packing today to move our stuff into our storage unit in Silverdale. I have to admit that even though I've been wanting to move since...well..basically we got here, but more when Kellen switched to working up there- I am still feeling a little sad. I guess it just feels like this is how long it took to actually get used to things and now it's changing again. That's why I think I'll be really happy when we finally end up getting a house and knowing that's where we will be for a while.

I am really feeling nervous about our trip. A couple things have happened with tickets and stuff (long story) and I am just feeling so much stress that everything works out ok. I want it to be a good time and I just don't want to waste any more money than I already have because of stupid mistakes. I don't know why I can't just get rid of this feeling (similar to butterflies..but the stressful kind) and I sure hope it subsides once we get there, because seriously, it could be cause for a bad trip if I feel like this the whole time. Well I am praying about it and really hope God can help to put me at ease.

My throat hurts
» The Bond's

Hello world. Well yesterday I woke up and I discovered a new little cold has come to live inside me for a couple days. Oh well. Better now than in a month right?

My grandmother is swiitching offices so this has caused a bit of a mini vacation for me for a couple days, so, a good time to rest up until I am back to cleaning houses. I did, however, put in my two weeks notice and my last day will be K's bday-the 14th. I will be pretty happy about this.

Probably the most important thing in my life right now is that I am applying for a new job with a company in Poulsbo called Masterworks. I considered not even posting this considering there is a possibility of not getting it, but then decided it would be better for me to ask for prayer about the situation than just hide it from everyone. SO if you are reading this I would ask for you to pray for me- not that I necessarily get the job- but that I would be accepting of God's will in the situation- whatever the result may be. At least that's what I've been praying for :).

Today I pulled out clothes that I might want to bring with me to Europe. I know it's still a month away- but I can't help feeling like if I start packing than maybe it will come even faster. Or maybe the opposite affect will happen- ohwell. It's still fun all the same.

Funny story
» The Bond's

Today at church Kellen and I worked in the children's ministry. During prayer time, one of the leaders asked what we could pray about for our nation. One kid raised his hand and said "That Harriet Clinton doesn't become president." Thought this was great....

I found our future apartment! It is off of *Bond* road in Poulsbo. I am really excited to move and be closer to Kellen's family and a bunch of friends up there. Though I am going to miss our friends here and our church a lot.

I've been really tired lately and I'm not really sure what's wrong with me. I am going to get tested for a bunch of different things but I really hope it's just something simple like I don't have enough iron- not something like thyroid issues like my mom had.

Well that's about it--signing off for this week :)

What the Lord is doing in my life.
» The Bond's

Wow. These past couple of weeks have been a roller coaster ride of various emotions. We are so excited for our trip and I am learning to TRUST the Lord about money issues and keeping us safe (and giving us a bed to sleep on) during our time. The way in which he just continues to work things out is keeping me in a constant state of WOW. In other news, Kellen has found a new carpool friend who also happens to be a really strong man of God. As Kellen puts it "He gives it to me real" and in just one week I have seen my husband change by the power of God's mighty grace. He's calling me on my wrongs, encouraging me more than he ever has before, and I can just see a changed state of thankfulness towards his Savior, coupled with a true fire to get to know Him more. Again, WOW, exactly what I needed. Isn't that how it always works out? The Lord just seems to know exactly what you need to kick your little butt into living a life for Him. Yesterday we visited a new church NewLife, in Silverdale, and the pastor said "Just one step at a time-what's your next step?" God is not expecting us to make leaps and bounds with our relationship with Him. All he wants is just one step at a time.

Well this cleaning job is kind of a bummer. They are soooo detailed it drives me nuts! They will come in and check the mirror after I've cleaned the bathroom and find smudges that I don't even see! Or a piece of fuzz on the counter. We clean like five houses a day (it's a lot of work). Well oh well at least it's only till June. Then we leave! yay! I can't wait till summer. Not only are we going backpacking, but it's amber and corey's wedding, a new apartment, a new (full time!) job, and the sun! Can't wait!

My Week
» The Bond's

Wow what a week it has been! We will start with last weekend, which was my b day party and the fondue extravaganza. It was absolutley DELICIOUS and I think I gained a good ten pounds. haha. But still, it was fun to see everyone and to be able to celebrate my b day/graduation/easter and my grandpas bday too! Sunday was easter where we went to Kellen's great grandmas house in olympia. It was a lot of bodies in a small space, but, as always, good to be with Kellen's family. I also got to see my favorite little niece, she is getting soooo big! The week was good. I started my cleaning job, which is actually quite exhausting work!! I was sore all week from it, and got a little frustrated at how many times I had to wipe "smears" that i couldn't even see myself (I work on a team with 2-3 other ladies). But hey, it's a job, and it won't be too long till kellen and I are off to Europe and I am enjoying the money I have made :). Yesterday mom and I went to the VEGFEST is seattle, which was really good. Though we are not vegetarians, it was cool trying the different food and products that are so healthy for you! Today was another family day. We went out to breakfast and then went bowling. Then we made dinner and I made cookies (cranberry white chocolate to be exact...mmm..) and our family did what we do best...eat! ha kinda sad but true. Anyway, I have decided to give up chocolate (not white choc., just like, real choc) till Europe. We will see how this goes, hehe.

My Neighborhood
» The Bond's

Today I went on a long walk around my neighborhood. The sun was perfect and it was a great ending to a somewhat dreary and wet day. It was the perfect temperature for my walk- cold enough to keep me cool and slightly breezy. It was interesting to me that I had never seen things that are within just a mile of where I've lived for the past nine months- gorgeous houses, a breathtaking view from multiple areas, and then some quite unusual sites as well. Tomorrow for my walk, I will be bringing my camera.

I also had some interesting thoughts while I was out. My favorite was when I was thinking how in the old testament people used to live till like 900 years old. Then I started thinking about how we always try to guess people's ages now a days or have them guess ours. My thought was I wonder if people did that back then. They'd be like "Oh, I'd say around 342?!" "NOPE! I'm actually 756, but thanks for the compliment :)" What if they would have had shows like Ten Years Younger (TLC) back then? I think it would have been more like 100 Years younger.

Anyway, it was a rewarding and beneficial body/mind time for me.

I also seemed to have found a job. It's actually quite cool. I will be working for a company that basically hooks me up with houses to clean. The customers provide their own cleaning supplies. They write the check out to me for the amount and I just return a certain portion of the money back to the company at the end of the week. This will be pretty flexible and I can choose my own hours, I'm pretty excited.

My birthday is on Monday and I've been invited by my mother in law to join in on some St. Patty's traditions that occur at the Bond home. This includes Green pancakes and corn beef and hash! Haha. I think I might likely be joining them for that!

Gold at the end of the rainbow?
» The Bond's

Maybe not. But today there was a spectacular view of Steilacoom from the Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Place. This is a walking trail Kellen and I just discovered a few weeks ago that has a MASSIVE hill that we like to walk down and up. It is pretty intense, and let's just say my legs are SORE. lol.

I'm having major anger issues with Key Bank lately. They are pretty darn ruthless when it comes to overdraft fees. There was a charge on our account when we bought our plane tickets that they accidentally charged twice and because of it, we were in the negative. Now I am deathly afraid I am going to wake up tomorrow to find out we have multiple overdraft fees, because somehow that transaction moved down on the list past all the other transactions and put our bank account negative before we made them? This does not make sense but key bank could seem to care less what the customer thinks. urg.

Other news: we have received BOTH our passports AND eurail passes. This is making things super official. I'm pretty nervous. It's hard to plan what to do (especially in the big cities like Paris and Berlin) when there just seems to be SO much to do. I don't know what to pick!!

Still looking for a new job but I have some serious possibilities. Hopefully something comes through, soon!

I never considered being an animal activist...until tonight...
» The Bond's

So tonight was a very interesting night. I hung out with Nicole (aka VC) and we tried to go play bingo, but we couldn't find the bingo place!! Instead, we decided to go grab some Bubble Tea and to go cruise the B&I- the ghettoest, nastiest, most dangerous place for two 20 year old girls to be in lakewood- shopping center! It was pretty much what I had expected it would be (I hadn't been there since I was like, 7). Pretty much just a lot of Asian (no offense) knock off brand crap that nobody really needs. But then we got to the pet store and-

oh.my.gosh.

It was sooo sad. First of all, they have these puppies in glass cases in the very front. They look so sad and deprived! Then you walk in, and this place is nasty. It's literally SO dirty!! The animals are all stuffed in these tiny little cages (way to many for one space) and it is gross. It stinks and looks like they never clean the place. The hamsters were all fighting over the one spinning wheel and we watched several of their little bodies get stuck between the wheel and the middle bar (we thought for sure we would see one get decapitated! luckily, we were spared from that visual) If things weren't worse enough with the first couple puppies in the front, they have an entire wall full of random little puppies in nasty cages. It made me so sad! I was never the type of person to want to stand up for animals, but tonight might have just changed that!! If all that wasn't bad enough, then Nicole makes me look at every single HUGE spider/cockroach/scorpion that they had! SICK!

Needless to say, I feel like I went to the trashiest zoo in the world tonight. haha

ew.

Just for Kate :)
» The Bond's

Well I have been told I've been a little behind on my blog...so here's the update!!

My newest little brother in law was born on Saturday! His name is Nolan Wyatt Bond. He is absolutely adorable! I got to hold him for the first time on Sunday and pretty much fell in love :)

I got my camera back, but i can't find the connector cord thingy!! arg!!

I am still looking for a new job at the moment. I will be back working with my grandma but I also need to find something else for extra hours. My quarter will be over on the 18th, one day after my 20th Bday! What a present huh?? I will be done with my Associates Degree! Wow. I am super excited about this. I don't know when or where or IF I will be going back to school. I know that IF would scare about half the people in my life, but at this point I don't really care. Not to sound rude, but I am really trying to figure out what is best in mine and Kellen's life, and not to fit to the cookie cutter society that says you must absolutely have a bachelor's degree.

Well that is the up to date on me, hope this helps kate :)

What do you do when you feel sick enough not to go to work, but when you try to call in your boss guilts you into going? and you know that if you don't go everyone else has to work ten times harder cause there's one less person there? my stomach really hurts still and I don't know whats wrong with me. yet I have to go to work. why can't i just stand up for myself?

ΤΟ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΤΙΚΟ ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ
» Πρωτοπόροι έλληνες ευρωπαίοι

ΠΟΛΛΟΙ ΛΕΝΕ ΠΩΣ Η ΕΛΛΑΔΑ ΕΧΕΙ ΕΝΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΑ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΑ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΤΙΚΑ ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑΤΑ ΤΟΥ ΚΟΣΜΟΥ...
ΑΛΛΟΙ ΛΕΝΕ ΠΩΣ ΟΙ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ ΔΕ ΧΡΕΙΑΖΕΤΑΙ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗ ΜΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΒΓΑΖΕΙ ΜΟΝΟ ΙΔΙΟΦΥΐΕΣ!
ΑΛΛΟΙ ΠΑΛΙ ΙΣΧΥΡΙΖΟΝΤΑΙ ΟΤΙ ΤΟ ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑ ΠΑΕΙ "ΚΑΤΑ ΔΙΑΟΛΟΥ, ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΚΑΚΟ ΣΤΟ ΧΕΙΡΟΤΕΡΟ".
ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΗΜΑΤΑ ΧΙΛΙΑΔΕΣ, ΥΠΟΣΤΗΡΙΚΤΕΣ ΕΚΑΤΟΜΥΡΙΑ. ΠΟΙΑ ΟΜΟΣ ΕΙΝΑΙ Η ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ?????????????

Και έρχεται τώρα η νέα γενιά να σας απαντήσει:
Τίποτα από τα παραπάνω δεν είναι αλήθεια! Δεν έχω συναντήσει εγώ προσωπικά μαθητή όπου να λατρεύει να πηγαίνει σχολείο. Δεν έχω συναντήσει όμως και κανέναν να βαριέται όταν κλείνουν τα σχολεία!
Πρέπει, ενοείται, να απορρίψουμε το γεγονός της ιδιοφυΐο-γέννης! Χωρίς εκπαίδευση, δεν μπορεί να προοδεύει καμία κοινωνία, μια και έχει εξελιχθεί το σχολείο ένας από τους σημαντικότερους φορείς κοινωνικοποίησης...
Αυτό που αληθεύει και πως πρέπει να γίνει ευρεύως αποδεκτό είναι το να εκφράζουμε τις σκέψεις μας ελεύθερα και να παραδεχόμαστε τα λάθη μας! Λίγο άσχετο, αλλά σχετικότατο με το γεγονός του αν αυτά ίσχυαν, θα είχαμε ένα τέλειο σχολείο. Ονειρεμένο!
Οι μαθητές θα εξέφραζαν τις απόψεις τους και τα προβλήματά τους χωρίς οποιοδήποτε φόβο και οι κυβερνήσεις και οι πολιτικοί να μπορούσαν να διορθώσουν ότι μετά καταλαβαίνουν πως είναι λάθος, χωρίς το φόβο της "παρεξήγησης".
Μπορούμε να αρχίσουμε να δρούμε έτσι. Από εδώ και εμπρός.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Από την πλευρά ενός μαθητή...
» Πρωτοπόροι έλληνες ευρωπαίοι

Λογικά σκέφτοντας και κρίνοντας, πώς θα ήταν δυνατόν τα παιδιά να σκέφτονται με τον ίδιο τρόπο με έναν μεγάλο;
Ή πως θα ήταν δυνατόν ένας μεγάλος να μην ακούει και δέχεται έναν μικρό;

Δεχτείτε τις απόψεις των άλλων και προσπαθείστε να είστε ανεκτικοί με τους άλλους!

Αφιερώστε λίγο χρόνο... Διαβάστε το δικό μου ιστολόγιο...

ΚΑΛΗ ΠΕΡΙΗΓΗΣΗ...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just plain tired
» The Bond's

The title describes it all for me lately. I'm tired- tired of this job (where my boss will most likely try to hold on to me as long as she can) tired of this small apartment, tired of school, tired of money issues, just tired. It makes me sad to be so negative, but sometimes venting seems to help a lot. I know that Europe will be a revamp for me, especially the fact that we will be moving to Silverdale after that, so that makes me happy :). But for now I just think I need to pray for contentment- a feeling of security that God has me exactly where he wants me. I'm really trying to get rid of that "grass is greener" feeling.

Lord help me to know that I am exactly where I am for your perfect purpose. I need your contentment, purpose, and perfect peace.

Not all in my life gives me this feeling, however. I am enjoying mine and Kellen's growing relationship everyday. I was just telling him last night that the more issues we deal with, the closer we become. I never thought I could love him anymore than I already did, but I honestly can say as time progresses and we pursue through so many things, our love grows stronger.

Another great thing: Kellen's sister, African Amber as she has been called is back from Tanzania for the time being. It's been cool hanging out with my sister in law (the one closest to my age) and hearing her stories.

I really hope I get my camera back soon so I can post some pictures.

Being sick stinks...
» The Bond's

Last night I got really sick, I'm not really sure from what, but I did NOT like it. Who does? I also had a dream that I went to Disneyland. Weird huh?

In other news, I quit my job at the preschool. I'm going to get something else for a while- something fun I think. Not quite sure where yet though, we'll see.

V DAY
» The Bond's

So i didn't expect anything this valentine's day really, not because Kellen doesn't do nice things for me, just cause we really hadn't talked about it much. Much to my surprise, however, I came home from class on Wednesday (the night before v-day) to find flowers, chocolate, and the best present of all- a VERY clean apartment. I was sooo happy that he had thought of me and that he'd also thought about how much I love things to be clean :) haha. He would probably kill me if he knew I revealed on my blog how he is sentimental...but oh well.....

Tonight, I'm going to pick up our favorite (teriyaki) and have a nice stay-at-home date night. Married life is awesome :)

My very own tea cozy!!
» The Bond's

Well I finally attempted to sow my own tea cozy. I was just so tired of my tea getting cold so fast! (a really vital problem, I know). So I went online and I saw a picture of the CUTEST tea cozy I have ever seen. It's made from felt and it inspired my own design.
How awesome is that?!
So I went to Michael's and got that little kid felt stuff...I am not even really sure if this is "professional" felting materials, but oh well!! I would put a picture, because I am quite proud of it, but unfortunately my mom stole my camera to use for selling things on craigslist...grr. Don't worry though, a picture of my creation will soon be taken and shared with you all! :)
