Our journey to Washington

Let us start by saying, if verizon wasnt so difficult we would have had this up a week ago. on that note

Sunny California to

well... not so sunny Washington

Well we left on dec 27th from La Habra, CA and arrived in Lynden, WA 3 days later, i would fill our reader in with tons of interesting stories about our trip, but uneventful it was and i guess it's better that way. although rachel and timber did become soul mates on our trip.
Let's get to the somewhat interesting stuff. currently we are unemployed and barely looking. our apartment is wonderful, with 3 bedrooms and storage, it seems about twice the space as our one bedroom and roughtly half the price (pricing may be exagerated)



Timber was fortunate enough to find a dog park withen walking distance, and a couple of willing owners to let her frolic in the snow (which she really seems to enjoy)


Sorry this posting isnt more exciting, i'm kind of sick and dont care that much.

ok on to some more interesting facts of david and rachel.
Rachel has just informed me that nothing has really happened.



currently it's about 35 degrees, the sun doesnt poke through our window until about 8:30 which means we are not up till about 9:30, and by 11 or so we are off onto adventures. like today oh the excitment was too much after we learned that most stores seem to be closed on monday morning, we ventured over to the recycling center to drop off our boxes. and since the sun drops around 4ish we end up inside and watch t.v. till i put a couple bottles down and drift away into another 14 hours of sleep.



actually it's a bit better than that. though we have moved at a time when the snow level is higher than it has been for about 12 years, we are thoroughly enjoying it. living in snow is a new and exciting experience. this is a picture of the park that is about 100 yards from our front door. not bad of a view. the mountains are pretty pretty.





we are looking forward to Amy coming up to visit, she will be the first. which we do have a room and a bed ready for you Amy, though we are trying to add some furniture so it's not just a mattress in the middle of the room. but ready we are.


here's some pics of the apartment in preorder,this is the spare bedroom upstairs this is our wonderful kitchen


well if i wasnt so annoyed i would make this post more interesting, but it's a good start. keep checking i'm sure we'll add to this

Is that the bedroom that's going to be mine one day? Cause I think I might need you to clear some of that stuff out of there. Just sayin'.

Also, hi. Looked through all the entries so far, and it seems pretty nice up there, and I'm glad you guys seem to be enjoying it. That plus the kinda being lazy makes me a tad jealous.

Hi Rachel and Dave,

What an adventure you have had so far. Have you driven on ice yet? It is like snowboarding but you have no control. Your surroundings are lovely. Uncle Mike and I would like to come visit and stay in your beautiful guest room. Could you put us on your list of visitors and let us know when our reservation comes up. Keep posting beautiful pictures and your request list will keep growing. You know we can't be away from Rachel too long before we need a Rachel fix. Thinking about you two and Timber. Pray all is well for you. Love you much.

Aunt Pat
