driving north has some great perks! :)

So today Starbucks and I became best of friends... I had a cup of tribute blend in a french press made for me this morning :), then I stopped before getting on the highway to go up north. you may be thinking but "you just had a french press.." yes I did, but im driving north so i need more, so an iced coffee :) then on my way back i was getting a head ache and i really was craving a cookie. I kept driving and driving and I was close to federal way so i had to stop, yes I was almost home maybe like 45 min but i really needed something. So now you're probably thinking "why were you driving up north???"

Well today was the day I was going up north to see megan's baby faith.. Not even a week old!! Faith was born on St Patrick's day, so this was the first time I was able to come visit. So on my way up I didn't hit any traffic (thank-god) and my goal was the outlets!< And well i needed to pee too...> So i stopped at the outlets, and quickly found the restroom after walking in a huge circle...while walking I figured out what shops I wanted to go into and of course let the coach store clear up some. thats right I said coach. I bought a new purse!! :) It's silver/grey , it looks like the teal one I have but it's cloth and has an extra zipper, and i bought a cute spring wallet. :) driving north + having to pee + given a 30 % coupon = a very happy Alyssa!! Spending only 100!! :)

After it was time to go see megan. I finally was able to meet Faith. She is soo tiny, cute, and such a great baby. The whole time I didn't hear her cry, only saw her eyes open for a few minutes, and i got to hold her most of the day!! I enjoyed every minute of holding her. she is so light! When i first saw her she looks just like megan, and part of megan's dad-terry. I dont really see her dad in her (could be a good or bad thing...) but all i have to say I can't wait to spend more time with faith and spoil her.!  here's some pictures of today!

And tomorrow Im going to Silverdale to see yet another friends' baby..Donna!! Its a "weekend" of babies!! :)

Besides shopping, and babies...I really need to go to the gym! it's been way to long!! The last day I worked out was march 16! only ran 3 miles. 17th was st patricks day I went out with friends, 18th was soccer 19th i went to silverdale and such, 20th was my dad's birthday..21st i worked and took an hr nap and then went to my mom's. and today the 22 I went up north. so tomorrow will be a week of no gym. I miss it. I need to get running. I have a 12k in just a few weeks..!! I think I just had fallen off the wagon of the workout train. I need to get back on and get my mindset working again!!
And it doesn't help when I had stopped eating fries and had fries 17, 20, and now today.. UGH!

PS.. Happy late birthday to my Dad, (was the 20th)
Love ya dad! You're awesome!
