Life in Seattle

From the day that we got married, even up until June of last year I would have never guessed that we would live anywhere else except for our home town of Spokane Washington. However after much prayer and answer, God gave us the opportunity to move to Seattle.

It was a challenge at first as we had to learn how to be us for once in our marriage. With the constant influence and support of all of the family that lived by us at "Home" we never fully relied on eachother for everything. Amazing after 5 years of marriage how eye opening that realization can be. We always thought and knew that we were strong, but didn't take into consideration the circumstances of life until we were on our own as our "own family".

Life over here in Seattle has been the best blessing ever given to us, well... aside from having our daughter of course. Chris's job is wonderful, he feels so at home, welcomed and secure. Kudos to him, he just got a promotion with a new position that he will be starting in July. He's so excited, some times I talk to him during the day and he sounds like a kid in a candy store. There is no doubt in my mind that he is loving what he is doing.

Aside from the wonderful job, we have also made some of most amazing friendships. We have been so blessed to make a great connection with another Christian family here in our area. They are some of the best people I have ever met. They welcomed us to their church about a month ago and we already feel a part of the congregation. How fabulous a feeling it is to be so welcomed and loved and build frienships with other strong Christians as ourselves. We thank the Lord EVERY DAY for what he is doing in our lives and for all of the fabulous people he has blessed us with. We feel so lucky to be in the position that we are and can't wait to see what the future brings.
