Meet the parents

Yes I did it. I never thought I would officially meet the parents but I did. Well, the parent anyway. Yesterday Luke and I drove to Yakima to meet his dad for dinner. Let me tell ya, meeting dad's? Intimidating. So less likely of a chance you'll connect. Anyway, his dad's name is Eric and he's really nice. I liked him a lot. I'm sure I didn't make much of an impression because I said like two words the whole time, but they were talking about things or people I didn't know anything about so can you blame me? Anyway, within the first 5 minutes Luke left me ALONE with his dad to go to the bathroom! How dare him, I know. It wasn't thaaat bad. But it did get to the point where his dad asked me what my hobbies are. Yeah who really asks that? And what are my hobbies anyway? Who has time for hobbies these days? I answered with a pitiful, "I don't really have hobbies...I play flute...and go to school..." AH! Okay probably not as bad as I think. The whole thing in general went pretty well until we got topic of cars where Luke turned the conversation around to me and his dad asked me what kind of car I had-worst conversation topic EVER! My car is so not as good as it sounds-so I had to tell him and he got a major "Luke's girlfriend is rich" impression and made a big deal about it. I'm sure I was bright red the whole time. Oh well. It could've gone worse right? At least I can say I've done the 'meet the parent' thing. It's a life experience right?

Donuts!!

Okay, so Ellensburg is probably one of the smaller, more boring towns I've been in. However, it does have a downtown with (apparently) a lot of undiscovered places. A couple months ago Jana and I ran across a donut shop on a random corner (Who would've thought). We never got around to actually going to it though. Yesterday Luke and I got bored, although not so much bored as it was a nice day and we didn't want to study, anyway I told him about the donut shop and we ended up getting in the car and driving down there. Unfortunately it was closed for the day so we didn't get any. We went back today and it was open and we ended up getting two regular frosted donuts with sprinkles, two glazed donut holes, and an amazing maple donut type thingy which was AMAZING. It was all moist and delicious. No idea what it was actually called- the people were Asian and we couldn't understand anything-but we will definitely be going back there. Thank goodness for small suprises:).

Blog Schmog

Alright I'm giving in to this blog thing. I'm not happy about it though! No just kidding. I figure it's the only way I'll be able to keep up with my people. Because we all know how good I am at keeping any journal diary type thing. However this is my attempt. We'll see how it goes!
