West Coast Update

The last few months have been a whirlwind for us.  We moved across the country (again), and are living back on the West Coast.  We are loving being back and have been busy seeing old friends and family.

We are settled into our rental house.  We really love it.  It's across from a lake (which we have lake rights to), and it is quiet and peaceful.  Our stuff fits in here perfectly and everyone that sees the place says it was like it was meant for us.  We feel that way too.  Come visit us!  We have extra bedrooms!

 We spent a few days at Long Beach with Colin's parents and the dogs.  We had the beach basically to ourselves and it was so fun to be able to let the dogs just run free (which they don't normally get to do), and see them enjoying the beach.

We celebrated Colin's 39th birthday.  He is FINALLY as old as me again!  :)  I always love that!  His parents came up to celebrate with us.

Colin is a huge Seattle Seahawks fan, so for his birthday I got him tickets to a game.  We had a lot of fun, even if we were in the nosebleed seats!  And the Seahawks won!  Yay!

Colin is settling into his new job and really likes it.  When I found out we were moving back here I decided that I wanted to get back into dispatching and just got hired at the Issaquah Police Department.  I start in a few days.  Working shift work again will be an adjustment for me, but I'm looking forward to once again doing what I loved to do.

It was a big decision for us to move back to the West Coast.  We had a house and good jobs in New Hampshire, but it felt right from the beginning and everything has fallen into place since we've been here.  It was definitely the right decision for us, and we are very thankful.
