Our First 2 Weeks


































so, we're here! and so far, i think we all LOVE it. it's been a little stressful figuring out all the minor details; a place to live, pj's school, income so we don't become homeless, those things. actually, it's mostly just been stressing eric out. i'm trying to feel the urgency, but let's get real, i'm still in vacation mode and there are babies here. cute ones. we found a sweet place, but the guy decided not to leave after all, so we went back to the hunt and found an even BETTER place. good karma. a new building, affordable, downtown, pool and hot tub on the roof, sweet views. we're stoked. everyone cross their fingers that it all goes well and we get approved even though neither of us really have jobs. good news on that front, too, though. the first week we were here eric got a call from an old contact from costco asking if he wanted a job at one of the 2 new stores opening in the area. so he went and applied to be the head of marketing at one of them and we're waiting to hear back. sweet! please, more finger crossing. thanks. justin, kitti and grace got here (yay!) on thursday and it's been wonderful. and here's what we've been doing since we've been here.

Oh, and has Grace grown like 4 inches since the last time we saw her? And does PJ have a mohawk? Go 80's!

I miss you all. It's funny that you're probably about the same distance from us in your new place as you were in Seattle, but it seems further away. Maybe because we go to Washington a lot more than we go to So. Cal. so it seems closer?

ALL of my fingers are crossed for Eric in the employment hunt, which is handicapping my typing, slightly, but it's worth it if it helps you land a job!

Love you guys. And miss you. The pictures are wonderful. Thanks!

Yay for moving and being homeless and looking for housing with no definite income! Sounds familiar...

My fingers are crossed for you guys. And I, too, loved all the pictures! Let us know more good newses as they come!
