Daniel's Birthday!!

Daniel's Birthday Party

Daniel turned 23 this weekend and I had made him a cake and got him some UW T-Shirts and also I got him a 100 dollar gift card to Best Buy. It was sad though because we had no friend to celebrate with but I tried to make it a good day. We miss everyone so MUCH!

The amazing meal I made!!

I made this Eggplant Parmesan and it was really good but it took forever!! It took almost 3 hours. First I fried the eggplant and it smoked the whole kitchen up and I got really scared that the fire alarm would turn on....that was the first mistake. Then i tried to just use a different pan and it smoked up even more. I was running around the apartment opening all the window and Daniel was just sitting there laughing at me. Then you bake it for a hour and it turns out like this! i was really hard to make but it tasted wonderful!!!

Living Life

Daniel and I are living life here in
Seattle, you know just trying to fit in a play the part of the city folk. I started the temp position at the bookstore and worked downtown at the husky shop. It was crazy working downtown in the big city. We had some interesting people come in the store but all in all it was a good week working. Daniel has not started school yet so we are just being lazy and exploring the city. Today we are watching football (I mean Daniel is watching football) and going to the store because we have zero food. We love going to the store because the food here is so good, you can get fresh anything. The grocery stores here are wonderful and it is fun going to the store (not like Mississippi when you dread going to walmart...that is not a choice here). It has ok weather so far mostly sunny days mixed in with some raining days. We are going to a new church tomorrow and going to the zoo so Sunday should be a super fun day! Here are some pictures of us when we were exploring campus and boat street which is two streets down from us.....we are so close to the water. My new favorite thing is watching the bridge split in two when the big boats go through..i know it is silly but it is so COOL!!! Oh and some pictures of top pots which is a famous doughnut store here in Seattle we saw it on the food network channel. oh and some pictures of us tailgating at the apartment for the big game...I know it is lame but we need some tailgating too!

So we are moved to Seattle.

We love it here so far! The ride up here really so super long but we made it without any real problems.We got here the first day and unpacked everything in the new apartment. My grandfather's brother lives here and came to help us unpack the U-Hal - it didn't take very long but what took long was finding the place to return the stupid U-Hal all we wanted to to was get rid of that silly thing and we drove all over looking for the right place to take it.

After finally finding the place Uncle David and Aunt Linda took us out to eat at a Pizza place on Boat street which is two streets down from where we live. This is where the big yachts dock. The next day we woke up and started unpacking. From the look of all are stuff we thought it was not going to fit but we realized the boxes just take up a lot of space. After unpacking we went to the store because we had zero food. I have never spent that much on food before but starting from nothing is hard.

The next couple of days we kept unpacking until we had everything in its place. The first weekend we went to ikea and bought our new beautiful couch. Of course it is brown but that's OK because Dan let me get some cute pillows to dress it up.

On Monday I hit it hard looking for a job and found a temporary position at the University Bookstore. I am excited to start working and meeting new people. Still going to keep looking for a job where I can actually use my degree but for now we can pay rent and eat so I think we will be OK. I am going to try harder to keep everyone up to date but it has been so crazy getting settled here. I start work next Friday so pray for me that I can make new FUN friends. Here are some Pictures of the Apartment and our trip up here.
