No Worries- We're Still Alive!

Okay, I know how blogs are w/o pictures, and I promise to add some ASAP! The problem though is I'm at a public library right now, so there is a time restriction that I'm battling at this very moment! HAHA!

Well, for those of you that are curious, we made it to North of Seattle w/o any incident. This is definitly a huge culture shock for me, however I am doing okay considering. Josh starts working on Monday the 15th. I guess that'll be the real test as to how I can handle being a city gal.

The place we live is just sooo amazingly beautiful. If it wasn't for all the people and traffic, I'd be in heaven. There is a small lake across the main street about a quarter of a mile away. There are docks, swimming area's, picnic area's and much more. It's breath-taking. The biggest mall I have ever been to is about ten minutes away. TOTALLY COOL, but also totally busy. The town is huge. I have never lived in such a large area before. Mill Creek is just around the corner practically ... and that is high society baby. I have NEVER EVER seen such a beautiful little town. The one bad thing, our Wal-Mart is TOTALLY GHETTO! haha! It isn't even a super mart. I guess you get some and you lose some.

Our apartment is crazy cute. Although it needs some work. We're on the second floor, and so we have a small balcony. The balcony faces the forest and blue jays are everywhere. We also have a small fireplace. It takes real wood though, total thumbs down when you have a crawling infant around. The brick sets off our furniture though, so that's a plus. We also have a crazy awsome gym, an indoor pool, and an outdoor pool! To top it off ... we have a spa!

Well, I'll get pics up for our next update. Hope all is going well with all of you guys. I miss my friends and family. I am a little lonely, but I'm staying busy!
Love Nichole

Before The Move

Aiden's New Room

When Aiden and I got back from our long family reunion away from Daddy, we came home to a clean baby room. How sweet daddy! Unfortunately it's all packed up now!

Aiden learned how to crawl backwards at 6 months, and then began crawling forwards on his 7 month birthday. Now at 8 months he's holding on to things and walking all around. He hasn't mastered walking w/o help yet though. Maybe at 9 or 10 months.

Here Aiden met his Great Auntie Connie for the first time. The family reunion was such a blast. I can't believe how quickly it went by.

Well, anway... More newer updates.

Josh and I went apartment "hunting" yesterday. It was so stressful. There were two available already for us to look at... and we did. We found out that we got our second choice this morning but are still waiting to see if we got our first choice until we make a decision.

Tomorrow is Aiden's check up to see how the growth of his head (and body) are doing. We aren't as concerned about it as we were initially. I think that having one more check up with Dr. Herman before we move will be a good "goodbye" for us. *Tear*

It's so weird that we're moving away on Saturday. I'm going to miss all my small town buddy's.
