It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

But it's always rainy in Seattle! It's raining today! Not too bad, it feels like Oklahoma March outside. I am loving it. The house where I'm staying has the furnace attached to a gas stove in the living room, so every time the furnace kicks on, there's a fire in the stove in the corner. This is literally like another world from what summer in OK would be like.

This morning I woke up around 8:30 (which was 10:30 Oklahoma time! Loving this time difference!) and had some time to myself. The house where I'm staying at this moment has a family living upstairs in the main house and they rent the bottom floor to college students -- so the pitter patter of feet above my head was the first thing to greet me this morning. :) I'm having trouble adjusting to the weather, while I am loving the temperature it is just really difficult for my mind to figure out what I should be wearing when I leave the house. It's weird that it's nearly June and it's too cold to wear open-toed shoes to church. You get the idea.

I went to church this morning with two boys I had never met before -- Randy and Tristan. They both go to RUF at UW and they gave me a ride with them to church at Grace PCA. I think it is so, so fun to visit PCA churches around the country because they can be so so so different from each other. The church music was led by an "experimental orchestra" - some violinsts, an electric bass, a flute, a piano, a trumpet, a bassoon and a drumset. Oldest band member: about 75. Youngest band member: about 9. It was definitely unlike any music I've heard in a PCA church before!

After church I went with Randy and Tristan to lunch at a diner called Beth's in Aurora near Greenlake. I didn't have my camera today or I would be taking more pictures of these things. It was fun to talk to them about RUF and UW and music and so many things that we could relate to each other about. RUF meets on Wednesday this week so I think I'm going to try to go! I think that will be fun.

I was going to go exploring this afternoon but it's a little rainier (haha) and chillier than I thought it would be so I'll try again tomorrow. Sorry that this blogpost reads like a "dear diary." I'll try to make them less so in the future.

I'M IN SEATTLE.

Get yo'self up heah.
