So here we are, a week after we planned on being here. Getting here on a Friday was a little chaotic for the schedule. We had planned on jumping right onto job searching and phone calls and scheduling as soon as we arrived, but being that we showed up on a weekend, we felt a little jolted. So we recovered from our multiple recoveries, made cookies, cooked dinner, played with the cousins, helped with piano, dance and homework, called family and enjoyed the Seattle sunshine. OH and Maddy and Kyle were in town so we went downtown for our first celebratory clam chowder on the coast. Good to see familiar faces in a new place, we miss you guys!
Sunday Patrick went to church with Jim, Lisa and Lucas and I stayed back to help with Emma's to-do list, which included helping with piano. We then went the grocery store and made a mess of the kitchen making a yummy brunch for everyone.
Today was a little hectic but our first priority was getting a P. O. Box. We had our mail held in Belgrade at the post office and it was to be forwarded whenever we got to where we were going. We looked online at our options for locations and eventually settled on Bellevue, a central location between all family and friends. We went to one in Bellevue (the wrong one) and were unsuccessful. We came back, getting plenty of city driving practice, ate lunch and went out again. This time much more successful. So if you need to mail us anything, let us know and we will email you our address.
We have bus passes, a PO Box, a schedule for where we are staying and a few potential house-sitting opportunities for the summer (which would mean a little more time not paying rent). We have family that wants to see us, Montana friends who are making their ways towards us and we have each other. I am so glad I am doing this journey with Patrick, he is my rock and keeps me grounded. Love you honey.
