Learning to Drive

Nathan is giving me another chance on learning how to drive a stick. 

Pretty soon we'll have to be getting new cars, so in preparing for what may come (if we end up with a manual), I'm going to try really hard to be a good student. haha

We had our first lesson, which started out being stopping and starting successfully, but we didn't really achieve that so it was switching into gears. 

There were two other cars in the parking lot so it was a little embarrassing, but whatever. 

But Nathan didn't yell this time (we tried to learn a year or so ago, it didn't go well), so overall it was a very good first lesson. 

Can't wait for the next one!!

Beach Weekend

Billy's godmother has a beach house at Cannon Beach, so we all went up for 'valentine's day', a week late. :)

It was so sunny and nice at the beach that weekend too!
No wind, not that cold at night, and sunny all day, made it really nice for the only shower which was OUTSIDE! 

We ate, walked around on the beach, hung out, drove to Astoria and Seaside, and just relaxed.

I bought Nathan UGGY OOS, haha, (or Ugg's), because he wanted some house slippers for our artic tundra.

And Nathan's gift to me was a spur of the moment/we were kinda bored/it would look awesome piercing

(you can click to enlarge it, or google tragus piercing if it doesn't work)

A good vacation to start out the next few weeks of finals....
