Welcome to God's Country!

That should be the sign when you enter the Northwest because only God could make something this beautiful.  People have been telling me for months that Washington would be BEAUTIFUL, rainy but beautiful none the less.  I kept telling myself...sure sure it will be beautiful but not as beautiful as all the other places I have seen already.  The mountains in NC are wonderful!  The beaches in Florida are breath-taking....and warm!  Vermont and New Hampshire...there are no words for how pretty it is out there!  But once I got into Northern California and Oregon, I knew that my friends were right.  It is amazing out here!  Even the moss is pretty!  I never in my wildest dreams thought that moss was EVER pretty but there is moss all over the place here, because of all the rain, and it is pretty!  The water and the mountains and the trees and even the crazy fog and clouds are wonderful.  The temps here in WA have been really nice!  Mid 40's to mid 50's morning and night but it has been raining A LOT since I got here.  It is really strange though.  One min it will be drizzling and the next it is sunny and then the next it is down pouring. I can completely understand why I was told to always keep a coat and an umbrella with me! :)   I haven't taken any pictures yet of things around town.  I know I am a slacker but Matt was telling me that the last time he was here, he took tons of pictures but none of them really captured the true beauty here.  This really discouraged me and because of that I haven't taken any pictures.  If they won't do justice to my environment then I really don't see the point in taking crappy pictures.  I need to get one of those National Geographic cameras to take some awesome pictures with!! :)

On another note...Matt checks into his boat on Monday.  Back to the daily grind we go.  We are finally settled into our new apartment and I love it!  3 bedroom 2 bath and A LOT more space than our last place.  We have an office now and a REAL walk in closet!  Ohhh how I missed you walk in closet!  No real woman should ever have to live without you.  We are going to meet Matt's boss and his family this weekend for dinner.  I can't wait to finally meet one of the wives from the boat!  I have been told that we have a very family friendly boat and I am so very relieved to hear that! 

Well that is really about all that is going on right now.  Alan is still growing like a weed and learning new things every day.  He almost has all 4 molars in and is working on his canine teeth.  Oh he finally got his 3rd bottom front tooth!  I thought those buggers would never come in!  We are working on our ABC's now and Alan LOVES basketball.  Just watch him yell "go go go" when the NC State Wolfpack is playing!  TOO CUTE!  Well that is all for now.  Hopefully I will have pics to put up soon.  Have a great day!
