We're Moved In and My Least Favorite Thing About Seattle Is....

All our stuff is in the Seattle apartment, and I have made a promise to myself to never again move until I can afford to hire a moving company to do it for me. I'm so tired of carrying my dresser and mattress up and down stairs.  But we're done with that for a while!

We moved in and we haven't gotten our wifi set up yet, so I haven't been able to blog in a few days. I want to show you how everything has fit into the little place. Somehow, we managed to lose both our HAMMER and our DRILL in the move, so until I get my new ones from Amazon, nothing is hanging from the wall or ceiling. So it looks a little more crowded than it should.

The Little Apartment on Capitol Hill

One more little step in the process is complete. We picked up the keys to our little apartment, and we are free to move in. First I had to take photos, and next I need to clean, but baby steps, people. Baby steps.

Let's Preview Our New Neighborhood

Hello friends! I have exciting news...we have an apartment in the city of Seattle!

I'm so relieved that the apartment hunting process is over, and we can start moving in later this week. I'll share pictures as soon as we're in, but for now, here's a few of the details. It's a one bedroom apartment in a neighborhood we LOVE-Capitol Hill. It's a building from the 60's, so it's not exactly pre-WWII charm, but it has hardwood floors, a pedestal sink, big windows, and a quirky personality that I like. Most of all, it was the location and the price that sold me. $1345 per month will shock all my Missouri friends and family, I'm sure, but trust me. We got a deal.

A Look at Our Landing Pad

This was my view from the Pike Place Market. 

Seattle is beautiful. Mountains, tall piney trees, bodies of water with outdoors-y, attractive people all over the place. The buildings in downtown Seattle are shiny. The streets are so clean, and there is a Starbucks everywhere I look. Everything I've heard is true, and I'm so happy to be here.
