I'm so happy we decided to move to Seattle. I can't believe it's actually happening. It seemed like such an unattainable dream 2 years ago when we first thought about moving away. I'm really glad things worked out so well with our jobs, our apartments, and everything else. We planned our trip in January for interviews fairly well and I had 8 chances to get a job. Troy gets to keep his old job for a little while and in the mean time he can look for a more permanent job in Seattle. Our apartment lease just happened to end close enough to where we didn't have to break the lease or pay for several months when we wouldn't be there. Our new apartment in Seattle seems really nice, with a great view of the Space Needle. It's 10 blocks from my job, so I can walk to and from work and not have to bother with a car or parking. I just think everything worked out well.

It's just so cool that we're getting to do this. I couldn't have imagined living in D/FW Texas all my life, that would seem like such a waste of my life, to never experience another part of the country for an extended period of time. Yeah vacationing for a week is nice, but nothing at all like living somewhere the whole year round. Our dream finally came true, and I can't wait to experience the next phase of our life in Seattle.
