New In Town

What a crazy end to the summer! Eli and I officially moved to Seattle last Saturday and have been LOVING it here. It makes a huge difference to enjoy where you're living, and while we've been on many adventures and seen many things this past year, it's nice to be settled somewhere we truly enjoy. Eli's job is going great--he gets to see a lot of the city and last week he had his first business trip to Portland. It's fun because he takes pictures from the top of the buildings--next week he gets to walk around the top of Safeco Field! I'm job hunting. A challenging process, but I'm confident the right thing will happen. Sometimes it's definitely frustrating and it makes me thankful for a very patient husband.

Our apartment. Oh.my.gosh. We are so so happy with it. We're living in a fabulous neighborhood too. There's tons of young families and kids (strollers are everywhere!) It's really the community feeling I've been missing. We don't have any furniture right now except an air mattress we bought. So we've been watching Hulu/Netflix on the computer and sitting on blankets on the floor. The adventure continues! The moving van should be here this week--It will be so fun to share pictures of our furnished apartment!!
