Welcome to Seattle!





























Jimmy and I are so excited! Orbit the company he is working for right now has offered him a Medical Sales Rep Position opening the Seattle Washington and eventually Oregon area. Both Jimmy and I had never been there before and wanted to see the area before we packed our bags and moved there in September. So this last weekend we took a trip there to see if we could picture us living there and eventually start our family there. We have heard so many good things and were so excited and nervous to go, we had the feeling we would easily fall in love. The whole weeked was so Perfect. We stayed at Geoff Baulkmans house in Issaquah, which didn't help much becuase his family was so incredibly nice, and there home was so beautiful right on lake Sammaish. We woke up to incredible views of the lake and everything was so breathtaking! Everything was incredibly green, with rolling hills and amazing views all over! We looked at apartments, and homes and then did the tourest stuff like Pikes Market, the space needle, and Snoqualime Falls. Of course Jimmy gave me a LITTLE time in Nordstroms (which is the headquarters) and It gave me a glimps of the shopping ahead and I can't wait to get down there and spend a LITTLE more time there. At the end of the trip we we're both in LOVE, and excited to have the opportunity of living in such an amazing place. We will miss friends and family so much, but are excited for all the memories and experiences ahead. Here are a couple of pictures of our trip!

That's so awesome! I grew up in Washington and absolutely love Seattle. It's an easy place to fall in love with, I'm sure you noticed! Sad that you're leaving, but that's a great place to be. You'll have to let me know before you go next time and I'll tell you some great places to go while you're there!

So, it's a done deal? I am so excited for you guys. I am a little sad to loose our gambling buddies, but excited that you guys get to go on an adventure.
