WOW! I am realizing that I SUCK at updating this blog. I decided that I would sign on and try this whole blogging thing again. However, I can't figure out how to update the layout or anything like that! OH WELL!!
SO much has changed since my last post!! Cody and I are doing great! We are still living in Bothell in our little apartment but have plans to hopefully become homeowners this summer! We still love being in Seattle...probably love it more now then ever before. I think this is because we have sort of found our niche here now! We have made some amazing friends and we don't feel like we are the "loners from a small town" anymore! We have definitely begun building our lives here and plan on continuing this journey in Seattle!
Some recent updates...while I absolutely loved my job at SL Start, I recently took a new job at DDB. The position is a Human Resource Coordinator position. It is right downtown Seattle (2nd and Madison) so I take the bus every day. I was kind of nervous working downtown and taking the bus but I absolutley love it! The bus allows me to read my kindle, listen to music, and just relax. My stop is 2 blocks up from where I work and I pretty much take a power nap every day on my way home..this works out perfectly for hitting the gym after work! :) Now that the weather is getting nicer, I plan on exploring downtown on my lunch breaks. Last week I decided to go for a run down by the water during lunch since our building has showers, and it was BEAUTIFUL! There is so much around here! I definitely plan on doing this more as it gets warmer!
Besides the new job, I guess not a lot has really changed. Cody is still working in Bellevue, and like I mentioned before, we hope to buy a house before summer is over. I am so excited to be a homeowner and actually have room for our stuff! We still have wedding gifts boxed up!! I can't wait until we have our own yard for Mia and plenty of space for our things!! We also have begun to appreciate the great outdoors of Seattle. One of our favorite things to do when the weather is nice is take Mia to a park somewhere and just walk around. Just last weekend we went to Greenlake to walk around it with her...as much as we have always planned to go there, this was our first and what a great place it is! In the summer we definitely plan on renting the kayak's and paddle boats to take out on it! We also have become fans of local markets and are going to try and visit all the ones around us (there are a lot). We have been introduced to some great hiking places through friends and hopefully will be doing that again soon as well! One thing that has really turned around for us is that we FINALLY found a church that we absolutely love! We were going to random churches our first year here which makes it hard to stay motivated to go every week. But, through friends, we found one in Kirkland that we love and go to their Saturday night service. We are so hooked on the pastor there that we hate missing a week!
I am so excited that summer is coming! We have so many plans! We are running an 8k in May and are going to start looking for some road bikes so we can bike into town on the trails! We will see if we can find any for good deals! Keep your eyes and ears out for us!
I think that is plenty of updating for now..I plan on updating more often and hopefully be able to even post some pictures of the adventures we plan on going on!
Thanks for reading and God Bless!!
