Catch Up

So I'm settling in to city life (and married life) quite well. I've enjoyed being able to walk to most places we need to go, use my bike as a viable form of transportation, and sit around in our apartment and watch people go by through the window. And with no work, I've had a lot of time to do these things.

Seattle really is a beautiful place, especially on days like today when the sun is shining brightly. The summer temperatures here is seem to often be close to perfect. Mid 70's during the day, then cooling off in the evenings to the point that you are comfortable wearing just about any clothes you'd like. When it's clear here, the city is surrounded to the east and west by mountains, and Mount Rainier looms over the city to the South. When combined with the 3 main bodies of water that surround the city, it's quite a sight to behold.

I'm looking forward to being plugged in to some good communities here. With our family we already have created one community that I appreciate very much. It will be good to make more friends though, because it will make this city feel like our personal home. I also hope to find work soon, because summer can't last forever. That will be good.
