Scott and I were able to take a vacation for two weeks including the Mildenhall reunion at my mom and dad's mountain house and our househunting trip to Washington state. We really enjoyed seeing each other for two whole weeks- even though we missed Katya terribly! We are usually so busy that there are many days we don't really see each other. Scott is now on summer break from school, so things are a little less hectic around here. We were so successful on our trip. Even though we were getting very anxious out there, everything worked out in the end. We are buying a house in a wonderful neighborhood about 25 minutes from the hospital where I'll be working and about an hour and a half from Seattle. We are only 45 minutes to lots of camping in the Olympic Natl forest and about an hour and a half from Mt. Ranier. We even have a gorgeous view of Mt. Ranier from our huge back windows. There is a big fenced yard for the animals and kiddos. We are so excited to start our life out there - especially when we enjoyed the most beautiful 70-degree sunshiney weather while we were there and came back to horrible 90-degree humidity. We also sold our house here while we were gone. We'll be able to stay until the end of Sep. Here are a couple pics of the new house.
