Our new home

Ok, I can sort of breathe now. It was SOOOO busy the last two weeks that I couldn't even thinking about the blogging world. But it's time to update...:) 

We are in Seattle!! We actually live in Lynnwood, which is 15-20 minutes north of Seattle. We really love it here so far. We couldn't have chosen a better area. We kind of picked a complex, looked around the area and signed our lease, so the exploring part happened later when we moved here. There is a way cool mall about 2 miles away...Target (which it's actually almost a super target but they can't be called that because they don't actually have a deli...whatever it looks like a super Target), a cool little shopping around across the street with a brand new Fred Meyer, parks in every direction, Wal-mart a mile away etc. It's just a great area. We've been warned about the traffic here so the fact that everything is so close to our home is great because I won't have to get on the freeway at all. 

Every box is now unpacked...things aren't in their place but boxes are gone which is a relief. Everything happened super fast that I can 'relax' when both kids are sleeping. We got home from Arizona on a Thursday, packed the rest of the house up that night, got the moving truck Friday morning, packed our truck Friday morning, LEFT Spokane Friday at about 1pm. Wait, it doesn't stop there. Jeff had Boston and the moving truck-- I had Reese and the car. We got to Seattle about 6pm...UNPACKED our whole truck that night just the 2 of us with 2 kids...my dad and step-mom arrived with our other car at about midnight....it makes me tired just thinking about everything again. Saturday we started unpacking everything...oh it was busy!!! Fast forward to now...we are getting settled.

I feel comfortable to show our home now that boxes are all gone, BUT it's still a mess...so bare with me.

This is what you see right when you walk in..Boston's room on left, bathroom on right. (Did I mention the bathrooms are HUGE??)

Boston's room (so messy, sorry)

Living area

Then on your right my messy kitchen

Reese's room (which is still bare)

Like I said, decorations are coming...I'm just taking a break from unpacking. I'm not adding pictures of bathrooms because let's be honest, nobody wants to see a bathroom and we all know what they look like. Annd...our bedroom was messy when I was taking pics. :)

It's pretty big, too. I believe it's 1367 sq. feet so it's spacious, but it's still an apartment. :) 

I've been good at taking pics with my phone so here are some other things we've been doing...

Moving, sword fighting, Reesie smiles, Ikea shopping, fit throwing, Hobby Lobby shopping, soft ball game watching, Seattle exploring, playground playing, Sunday night lovin'. That about sums it up!
