I told Ed on the way to dropping him off at school, that I have been very surprised by the weather here. 99% of me was expecting it to be raining. Every day. Because that's what we were told by everyone when we said we were moving to Seattle. "Hope you like the rain!" or "Wow...it rains A LOT there." So I started to think that it rains here a lot. I really didn't know any different. So waking up to cloudless blue skies and 70 degree weather the past week and a half has been quite a shock to my system. And I guess it has been a bit more rainy this summer than normal. It can go two months here during the summer before any rain falls. I know its coming though. Those rainy, cloudy days are coming. Just like in Michigan, I don't expect to see the sun for weeks at a time. I wish I could pack up a day like today to put away on a shelf for one of those rainy, dreary days when I was thirsting for some sunshine. Since I can't, I'll bask in the rays while I can and get outside as much as possible before the gloomy weather sets in.
In other news, we've landed at a church. It's actually the one we visited last week (with the smoke machine...though no smoke machine this past Sunday). It's a bit different than what we're used to, but it's going to be a good experience. We're both excited to find a place to land, get involved in and the kids love it (which is such a hugely important aspect).
Now if only I could find a job as easily! Not much of a market for a 7 year stay at home mom who's degree doesn't mean much now that it's almost 10 years old. But the search continues and I know there is something right up my alley out there. Just have to find the right alley. :)

I'm so glad you found a good church! I agree, finding a church with a good kids' program is important. They learn so much at this age and are really establishing the foundation of their faith. I'm still praying for a job for you and know God will bring something your way! Does your new church have a job board?
Great picture!! :) I'm so glad you're finding your place in that cold, rainy, rainy world. Course, when it's raining in January during our blizzard you're going to be the one thumbing her nose...
oh yea on the church. So huge!!
thanks Amy. I did check, but no, no job board. Great suggestion though!
Hmmm...this could become very true Anne.
Thanks DD!
hey jean! sounds like you are getting into a routine. and how nice that God arrange for you to have several sunny days as you adjust!
what kind of work are you looking for? i have some friends and family out there. i would be happy to put out some feelers for you.
Hi Cindy. I'm actually looking for anything. I've been looking in schools so my schedule would be relatively the same as our son's, but I don't know how realistic that is. So....anything really. :) Where are you friends/family at?
I'm finally getting caught up on blogs!! I'm so glad to hear that you've found a church - that's so important to setting up roots.
Glad to see you and your family are settling in.
