Hi Everyone!
We made a video of our apartment (sans furniture) but we can't seem to get it to upload so you'll have to wait to see the new digs, sorry!
Everything has been going well here. Erica finished her first week of work and is loving the new job. It's really different from the York Revolution but it is great to see and learn how different teams operate. Greg has been holding down the fort and helping to get the apartment ready for the arrival of our furniture...wish we knew when this was happening!
We have been car hunting for the past few days and finally purchased a car yesterday. We will post photos soon! We got a fantastic deal on the car, thanks to Greg's bargaining.
Today was the best weather we have had since we arrived. 60's, warm, sunny, not a cloud in the sky! It was beautiful! We took a trip down to Seattle to drop off our rental car and found ourselves stuck in the trip of a lifetime. We dropped off the car near the airport and had to take a cab to the train station. The cab took close to 40 minutes to arrive while we had to listen to "would you like to buy some peanut butter candy" from a bunch of annoying girl scouts outside of Safeway. The cab driver gave us quite the ride driving extremely fast, dangerous and crazy! We made it to the train station only to realize Amtrak put us on a bus and not a train.....it only gets better from here! A traumatic bus ride ensued! A very "interesting" woman, presumably on heroin, sat a few seats behind us and proceeded to tell the entire bus about her mental disorders, sperm donors, 6 reincarnations, her "cleavage shirt", and much MUCH more. Our bus driver was nice but had a large band aid across his forehead and sang to us the entire drive. It was quite an experience. Once we arrived in Everett we had to grab another cab to our apartment. The cab driver was really anxious to tell us about a new air deodorizer that he found and wanted to tell us all about. Needless to say our first trip into Seattle was "exciting"!
The weather the past few days has been amazing and we have really enjoyed the views. The mountain ranges are spectacular! We are already planning to do some hiking once it gets warmer. Tomorrow we are going to try out a local church and go play some disc golf- the weather looks sunny and warm again. There is so much to do here and we are excited to try it all.
I think that's all for now! We are having a blast but miss and love everyone back home! Now that we have a place and are getting grounded in Everett we can't wait to have visitors!
