a little dose of change.

those of you who know me know i am a bit of a change addict. it's not something i'm necessarily proud of, but when the going gets tough, katie gets a-changing. this has frequently taken the form of me moving to a new place, new state, or perhaps just a new hair color. change. it's my greatest vice.

soooo, i have been working really hard the last year to not use change as a cop-out when i'm feeling discontent, etc.

but i found a little loophole!

with my job, i can actually get PAID to move somewhere new for a month and live in a hotel. what?!? seriously. i can! and then afterwards i'm right back in my normal life. (okay, actually i'm moving when i get back, but only across town and it's a good thing financially.)

so for the month of february i will be living in bellingham, wa! i'm excited.



things i am excited about:

1. bellingham is located conveniently between vancouver (where the olympics will be) and seattle (where friends will be).
2. day trips to the above mentioned, plus the San Juan Islands and wineries!
3. RAIN! i love rain.
4. It's the Pacific Northwest, where twilight takes place. i'm a complete nerd, i know. but i'm excited to read the books while in the setting!
5. free continental breakfast every day at the hotel (with bacon and eggs and everything!).
6. time alone to read, reflect, write, work-out, and just focus on ME.


i leave in 2 days!
