Ordinary Adventures of Sarah Hoot

Well here we are again dear friends, back at Central and all settled in to my new home. It was a much calmer move in than it was last year which was good, plus I had a very helpful young man to lift the heavy boxes (thanks Jared Ramey). And once the boxes were all brought up Mom and Emily unpacked while Grandam, Grandpa, Jared, and I went to Fred Meyers to pick up some last minute dorm room necessities. After words we headed out to lunch at Brooklyn's Pizzeria (rating for this restaurant in the ratings section), it was pretty yummy especially on Sundays when they have a pizza and salad bar buffet. So we had lunch and then headed back to my room for the final checks then after a fond farewell they headed out back home and I stayed behind to further my education.  Now this year my room is on the third floor and is one of the sought after corner rooms; it has a small walkway between the two wardrobes, two beds on the sides of the room along with the desks, and a bay window to l...

The start of another new school year is upon us and for those transitioning into a new school it can be tough and a wee bit scary. But fear not, because Jessica and I are here to help make your first week of school the best first week ever. We will walk through the whole day and try and give you tips and advice on what to look out for.  First off, the bus (even though depending on your school situation there might be a different mode of transportation for you. And that's a whole other topic): Jessica. I would advise a snack, I always advise a snack. Sit next to someone don't be shy, start a conversation! Sarah. Don't be that jerk that saves the seat for the friend that's not coming (though if you actually have a friend coming then you should save them a seat) because nobody wants to be that person that is wandering around looking for a spot to sit. And then if they sit with you you could make friends with them (bonus if they go to your school). Also for those who ...

If you live in Washington for any period of time then going to the Evergreen State Fair is a must. One of our state's biggest fairs, the Evergreen Fair first began in the 1800's as merely an agricultural display but now it includes the traditional animal showing-everything from bulls to pigeons, even cats and dogs-, art, plants, an army of food trucks, music, vendors of all types, carnival games, and of course rides. I haven't been to the fair in quite a while, I think the last time that I was there was when I was around ten. So this post is all about the day that my friends and I had at the fair, hopefully this post stirs you into going as well. The fair runs until September 7 so get out there while you can. Well it was a rather blustery day for going to the fair, a wind storm was ripping through the greater Marysville area, but we weren't giving up our plans easily. So my good friends Nathan and Tyler, and their friend Sierra, picked me up from work and headed out...
