We are settling in. So far, I think our experiences can be summarized thusly:

Yay: Our neighborhood is awesome and I really like being able to walk places.
Boo: Mike’s commute was not so nice today. Stupid bridges. Stupid Aubrey for not letting him live in the suburbs.

Yay: The food in Seattle is scary good. I can’t wait until people start visiting so that we can share new favorite foods with everybody!
Boo: We are both ready to not have to eat out every night. Hopefully our stuff gets here soon!

Yay: I’m super excited about going to the farmer’s market tomorrow!
Boo: I can only buy things that don’t involve actual preparation because I don’t know when we will have cooking utensils again.

Yay: We have internet connectivity at long last (120 hours!)
Boo: Our neighbors think we’re crazy because I broke down and asked to “borrow” their wifi on Monday. (Not everybody is as blasé as we are when it comes to giving out passwords. Weird.)

Yay: I’ve read three books since we arrived here! Not being able to knit = I actually read books again.
Boo: It was the Twilight series. I <3 forbidden teenage vampire love.

Yay: Since I’m jobless for the time being, I’ve actually had time to work out every day for the first time since who knows when.
Boo: I have a terrible sense of direction and get lost during every run at some point.

Yay: Derrick (My Derrick) is in Seattle this week because his sister just had the cutest baby ever!
Boo: I have to let him hang out with his new niece before I kidnap him and make him occupy my time.

Yay: I get my robot arm taken off next Thursday!
Boo: Ummmm… nothing really. I’m really sick of this thing.
