In October of 2010, in the wee hours of the morning, we pulled up to our new home. It was dark and drizzly (of course) and I was beat. I was seven months pregnant and had just driven two days-broken up by a wonderful sleep over with some friends in Boise. I think we both knew that this was home when we caught our first glimpse of the city lights that morning.
We quickly became submerged in life here. Daniel had taken a preaching position at a small church here and we were making preparations for Lewis baby number 2. Lily Jane joined the family right before Christmas.
A year into our life in the Great Northwest, it became apparent that we needed more income. Daniel was given an amazing opportunity with Edward Jones, where he now works as a Financial Advisor. His training and initial months with Jones took up a TON of time. The rest of his time was spent doing church stuff. Don't get me wrong, we had good family time too! But in the summer of 2012 Lewis Baby #3 joined the crew and my hands were full!
I have to tell you, I love living here. This place was meant for me! I love the trees that are perpetually green, I love the mountains in the distance, the closeness of the Puget Sound, and yes, I love the misty days. But with Isabelle, Lily and now Oliver, I was finding it even harder to get out. I wasn't depressed like I was in Colorado. I was just lonely.
