I took a short hiatus from posting due to various happenings in my real life.  Here is a quick update with everything that happened since my last post.

In the beginning of April we had a visitor in town.

While Kate was here went to a waterfall, visited the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum, went to the top of the space needle for lunch and listened to some live music.

Throughout April my husband and I began our search for a house to buy.  Which included several meetings with a loan officer, weekends filled with looking at potential dwellings and many conversations amoungst ourselves discussing if we would be able to handle the financial burden that homeownership brings.

In May we had visitors in town for one weekend.  We rode on a farris wheel, visited Pike’s Place market, and ate really yummy food.  Surprisingly we only took 1 photo the whole weekend they were here.  It happens to be very appropriate since it depicts how our friend feels about infants.

We went to a Rodrigo y Gabriela concert at the historical Paramount Theatre.

We went to Oklahoma for a wedding another weekend.  While we were there we had a chance to visit one of the many Diners, Drive-In’s and Dives featured on Guy Fieri’s show in Oklahoma City and we visited the Oklahoma City bombing memorial.

And at the end of the month we moved into our new house.

We commemorated the event by popping a bottle of champagne on the roof and lighting a floating candle lantern and watching it drift off.

June consisted of quickly getting settled into our new house (mostly).  There is still more boxes to unpack and rooms to organize.

We had another visitor 2 weeks after we closed on our house.  While Jaron was here we went on a hike, and saw humpback whales!

And I finished up my school year and settled into my summer off.
