Our New Home

We're finally HOME! After countless discussions, Jason and I decided to buy a home together in November!! We ended up buying a newly constructed home in South Seattle. South Seattle is extremely diverse and is home to most of the social service agencies in the city. We are two blocks from the new light rail (similar to a subway/train) that takes you from the airport to downtown Seattle. We are close to Columbia City which turns out to have amazing shops, coffee and little eateries. Seward Park is a beautiful park less than 10 minutes away... Our neighbors have welcomed us with cookies and hello's which has been such a blessing! It's always hard to lay roots in a new place... being welcomed makes it that much easier! As for our home...we couldn't be more blessed... Jason and I rolled up our sleeves last Friday and moved everything out of our Capitol Hill Apartment (with the help of my Mom, Jan). Last Saturday, friends and family lent hours of their time to help us move things out of Jason's storage unit in Everett to our new home. Thank you all for your support and strong muscles... couldn't have done it without you! We love our view of Mt. Rainier from the bedrooms! Jason loves that we are away from the noisy city streets in our own little "suburbia" and that his "Fairlady" sports car has a two car garage to sleep in each night!!! As for me, I LOVE not having to go to a laundromat! I have a washer/dryer in a room all to myself! Lastly, soaking in a tub frequently has helped the bruises and sore muscles heal quickly! So far... Jason's cooked lots of yummy stir fry on his gas stove! Family and friends have showered us with yummy treats, flowers and plants. Needless to say, there are still some boxes that need to be unpacked... but we are home and couldn't be happier. The question is... who will be our first guest(s)?
