Updates

Wow, so much for trying to post each week. It's been busy around here. I have secured a job as a graphic designer with a newspaper. It's pretty awesome. I like my work and the people I work with. The crappy part is the commute, about an hour by car or two and half hours by bus. I drive half the week and ride the bus the other half to save on gas. I'm pretty excited about getting a job in my field. I was beginning to wonder if it was possible to break into the Ad world.

A visit home to Nebraska is in the works for my brother-in-law's graduation. Pretty excited about getting to see everyone and to fly again.

The apartment is coming together slowly but surely. Managed to find a desk off craigslist for cheap and saved a couch from the trash to make my own. Couch covers work wonders let me tell you.

We bought a new car since my husband sold his before we moved out here. We also had to get Washington driver licenses and register our cars. That was an adventure. Things work quite differently here than back home. Eventually with lots of questions and speedy emails, we got everything settled and are now officially residents of the State of Washington. We even voted.

Hopefully soon, we can even start to explore Seattle. We haven't gotten a chance to even go into the city except for when I change buses during the week. I want to go to Pike's Market since we missed it last time we were there in June. I am looking forward to the all the farmers' markets too.

One last update, the website I have been wanting to make hasn't went anywhere. I've kinda put it on the back burner. It'll be done, someday I hope.
