our new city

Hello dear readers.  I am sorry for the delay on my blog post- we were having internet connection issues!

It was very nice to sleep in a little today- I was tired from our trip and travels.  We woke to Rebecca’s delicious scones for breakfast- seriously….soooo goood- white chocolate chip and cranberries, yum. 

As soon as we were dressed we started our online search for jobs and housing.  I found a posting for a job at the Woodland Park Zoo, which sounds AWESOME- so of course I applied.  

After finally finishing the application and searching for others we ate some lunch and headed out for the afternoon.  It was a beautiful Seattle day.  Bright, sunny, calm winds and warm sun- delightful after the monsoon we experienced in Portland.  We first went to Kerry Park which has a killer view of downtown, we then made a quick stop at REI still in search of a good rain jacket for Josh- no luck.  We then started looking at possible housing.  The first one we went to was nice- but not great, I quickly checked it off my list.  When we were on the way to see the next one we learned they no longer had one rooms available- oh well.  After a few other phone calls we remembered a house that had a for rent sign out in front and

We came home to a yummy dinner of bake potatoes, broccoli and steak- oh really good.  But for now we are just chilling and enjoying the evening at the Renzelmans.
