That’s what you call people living on the east side of Lake Washington. It’s funny how I’m now living outside the loop. Because that’s what it feels like when people say it to me now. I understand! It’s a little bit of a hike to the wonders of Seattle proper, but for right now, I’m happy with my 7 minute bike ride to the heart of downtown Bellevue. We’re even closer by car to Sean’s office and there is a 24 Hour fitness directly across the street. Which we all know makes me very happy. While it’s a little suburban, it’s still a busy city that has all we need right now.

I have to go straight domestic on everyone and share my excitement at my first dining room set. No it’s not a pool table. But I can eat on it, and sit down without banging my knees!

I’m happily unpacking (I never thought I would say that) because it’s part of this whole new adventure. The weather showed a lot of how it can be in the Pacific northwest today also. There was a heavy rainstorm, followed by very gusty winds, then the sun came shining out, then it was cloudy and overcast. All in about 20 minutes. The cottonwood trees are making it snow (that’s what it looks like to me).

There are two whole rooms without any boxes in them anymore. I’m stoked. I can’t wait for some visitors!
