Coffee, Alaska, and Friends

Good Evening All!
I spent the day training in coffee :) Today was my second day in my Starbucks training and the assistant manager that I was working with has told me that I am a barista in his eyes! I have already completed all the things for certification, I just need to get more comfortable with the starbucks recipes :) One day I will know how to do coffee art!
 
My best friend recently moved to Kentucky.. it feels like a world away, but she has left me to follow a new step in her path and I know she is loving it and will rock the socks off it! :) It is definitely hard to have her gone, and to find myself alone when I wish she was there with me. But, life must go on and we find ways to accept the changes that happen in life, and learn to love them and adapt to the new moments.

New Ideas, Good Food, and a New Step

Good Afternoon!! Hope all is well with all of you, the weather here in Beaverton is a little crazy, it was hailing sideways about 15 minutes ago and now.. blue skies.. what can you do?!
To start things off on the right foot lets talk food! Last night Justin and I went to Chevys to dinner for some good mexican :) We both had a fajita combo plate that included chicken and steak fajitas, a cheese enchilada, beans, rice, and sweet corn tomatilo.. so good! Then of course we topped it off with none other than deep fried ice cream, aka heaven in a dish.. here's the evidence :)


Skipping to a TOTALLY new subject, I saw the coolest things at fred meyer the other night while Justin was looking for paint for his hobby cars. Decorative window film! They have art scapes, light effects, and energy saving films. These are such a great investment if you have a horrible view (for example, a parking lot); need frosted glass (because maybe your bathroom has terrible lighting but you dont want to give the neighbors that view..) or you just want to help get the most energy savings out of your windows! Incredible things and can be fit to any type or size of window by either trimming one piece or using multiple pieces! I really liked the stained glass one! Heres a visual!:

Today I also started my new part-time job with Safeway Starbucks! A new step in life as I explore the options for the future! Seems to be a really great company to work for with some pretty nifty ideas.And last on my list to share with you all is todays Incredible Travel Deal! I will be sharing at least one of these each day I post!:
