What have I been doing for three months that I could not even update my blog, you may be thinking. Good question. Moving to Seattle was a huge adventure for me. I have never moved out of Colorado. The farthest I had been from my family was a 6 hour car drive to Durango from Evergreen. So when Matt and I decided it would be a great opportunity for him to attend Mars Hill Seminary, the move to Seattle consumed me (you can read previous posts and see it was on my mind a lot). I pictured my new home to be a huge, busy place, full of millions of people. I was scared to death of city life. I did not want to live in the so called concrete jungle, because I had always had mountains, and fresh air. How would I survive. I feel bad for the countless nights I kept Matt awake because I was so upset we were moving.
Flash forward: We found a great little duplex house in Fremont. It is off the busy street, we can park in front of our home, we have a small front yard and a good size backyard. There are trees all around us, and I even spotted a rose bush on the side of the house. I live near I park I can walk to where I can sit, look to the left and see the Olympic Mountain Range, and right in front of me is a lake with sailboats, kayaks, yachts, and propeller planes that take off regularly. If I go in the evening, I can watch the sunset, see the moon rise, and watch the lights in downtown Seattle turn on right in front of me. I enjoy this park, it has offered a sense of peace and belonging.
So, as I explore the city, I learn so much about how cool Seattle really is. There are not only huge Mountain ranges that I was so afraid I would miss, but a vast amount of water. It is a unique combination of scenery that I did not imagine. It is so pretty. Matt’s parents visited and took us on a sailing trip out in the bay and to be able to see where I live from the water was even better. It was a great treat. 
Is moving to city life all that I feared it to be? In some ways yes, in some ways no. I am enjoying it so far, and some of my fears have been wiped away. I miss my family and friends a lot, but I have a sense that they to will come to find Seattle an OK city to live in.
Kelli,
Congratulations on the new job! The house is great and the city is wonderful, I know you and Matt will do just fine there.
