We Finally Made it to Washington

So, Matthew and I finally made it to Washington! We are living in the cutest town home in Marysville, and I couldn't be happier with our find. It's crazy to think that Matt and I will be here for at least 3 years! We will be here for a while! We wont be moving so soon! It's so exciting! :)

We got here on the 4th of August, and unloaded the truck and everything that day. Just Matt and myself, it was hard, but I am very proud of myself. I am a lot stronger than I thought I was! Throughout the weeks, we have been slowly unpacking, and playing games mostly. Last weekend we decided we would go into downtown Seattle. It was a ton of fun, as we walked through what felt like a carnival, and then toured the science museum. Matthew was cute, trying out every little experiment thing they had set up. He was just one of the other 300 kids running around. We didn't see much of Seattle last week, because it's a huge city, but we hope to go back before Matthew leaves.

Yes, Matthew's ship the U.S.S Abraham Lincoln is scheduled to leave in early September for 8 months. I am not looking forward to it one bit. I can't complain too much, I knew this day would come for 2 years now. I have been talking to my friend Elsie, and I think she may come down and live with us for a while though. It will be so nice to have her as a roommate while he is gone, and more fun when he is here. She will just become part of the family.

I hope it works out well at least. My friend Caitlyn has had several roommates, and each had their problems, so I hope it's not like that! We will see though, and she and I both agreed, if it doesn't work out, we will help her find a nice place in town she can afford.

While Matt is away, I also plan on having a job. I have been looking like crazy, but i haven't heard back or found anything yet. But I have only been looking for about 2 weeks, so I haven't lost hope yet. Just have to keep trying. Something will come up sooner or later!

Things in Washington are going well so far. The allergies are really starting to bug me, but I pop in a Clearetin Clear first thing in the morning and it usually lasts all day! the weather isn't as rainy as everyone says it is. We have been here for about 20 days now, and i have seen maybe 2 days of rain. Maybe that is a lot to some people? But not to me. Besides it wasn't like a down pour of rain, it was more of a light misting throughout the day, it was actually very nice. But I do hear in the winter, it rains a lot more. Most winters it just rains and rains and never snows, but there are the occasionally winters where it snows, and it snows a ton! Well, I guess we will just have to wait and see!

Anyway, things are going well here for the moment, I know I wont be saying this when it comes time to see my baby off to sea. But until that day comes...
