Busy...but Loving Seattle!

We are really trying to get settled in and that means unpacking boxes and figuring out where the heck we are going to put all our stuff! But on a good note we are loving the weather and waking up with the windows open to the chirping of the birds and the cool breeze. I really feel like we are living in a cabin because of all the pine trees and the cool weather. It feels just like we are camping but with a nice warm bed to sleep in at night instead of a sleeping bag.

Here is a list of things we are loving so far:

**Being able to walk down the road and seeing a peek-a-boo view of Puget Sound

**Weather in the 60's and low 70's. Today my weather thingy says 73.8 (in the shade)

**Seeing blue jays in our backyard

**Finding blueberry bushes in our backyard

**Our nice, big home that fits us and all our stuff

**Driving by Boeing and seeing the massive airplanes being built.

**Being able to find the WinCo in Marysville which has normal prices compared to Safeway and QVC

**Having the boys in a bunk bed (finally done with the crib)

**Love not worrying about the doors being shut all the time because there are virtually NO flies and NO mosquitos! My kids are celebrating about this because before this we were staying in Emmett (the mosquito capital of the world)

Things that we are realizing:

**Going from a 3-car garage to a 2 car with a big beam in the middle (I know we were spoiled)is an adjustment

**That ghetto wallpaper needs to be changed

**That a light pink master bedroom is not going to fly with me

**Why they didn't put a single big light in all the bedrooms

**That we really don't need AC

**Our nice big deck in the back yard really needs the mildew scraped off and repainted.

**All the shrubs/roses/grass have not been watered/trimmed for 4 years!!

**That our primary is tiny and CTR 8 is the highest it goes.
