Well as you may have surmised, we're moving again. We kind of just up and left LA, really. Because (as Jon's job goes) we got news very last minute about his next assignment. Maybe it's not so fair to say we just up and left, but seriously, our move-out date snuck up on us big time. So the day before our contract was up, Jon and I had a conversation that went something like this: "Uh. We have to be out of here tomorrow. Where are we going?!" "Hm. Maybe we should just take a road trip to the Northwest and hope for the best." "When are we going to pack?" "Tomorrow morning, probably." Yeah, that's really how we deal with major life events. So that was our plan, until the night before we were leaving, when Jon got an interview with a hospital in Seattle and they offered him the job on the spot. And he took it! So we're headed up to Seattle folks (with a quick pitstop in SL). We couldn't be happier! We really will miss LA though, and here's an update on our last few weeks there according to my phone photos. ^^ Images from our street. (I told Jon that we'd probably never live on such an adorable street again in our lives.) ^^ Date night to see Grand Budapest Hotel with gelato and espresso. ^^ Dodger's game Before we moved to LA, I made this list of things I was excited about. So I guess I'll do it again, Seattle style. Here are 10 things about Seattle (in no particular order) that have me grinning right now: 1. Seafood.
2. Good coffee. (Let's be honest, these first two are in particular order!) 3. Rain! I know that one day, I will probably regret saying that. But for now, it's true. It never rained in LA. 4. Going on hikes. Because the landscape there is incredible. 5. The beach. It will be quite different from Socal beaches, I imagine, but still pretty awesome. 6. Getting a job. More accurately, not being limited in my job search to temporary positions. You have no idea how much I've missed working. 7. Being near the Canadian border. If you knew me as a 13 year old this will make sense. Eh! 8. Living in a more health-conscious city. Gluten-free, organic, and vegan restaurants galore... 9. Bainbridge Island. Because it looks freaking beautiful. 10. Exploring yet another new city with the love of my life. :)
