Crunchy Tortilla Chicken with Avocado Dip
Marie and I recently became the owners of two new cookbooks thanks to the communications team at the Information School and their generous and unexpected house warming present! Today we decided to try out one of the recipes from the “Bite Me: A Stomach-Satisfying, Visually Gratifying, Fresh-Mouthed Cookbook“. This cookbook is pretty awesome. It has some great … Continue reading
Exploring the Neighborhood
Hello! Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days; Nick and I have been busy unpacking, nesting, and exploring. 🙂 Grandma came down to have lunch with me on Wednesday. Grandpa repaired a drawer for us that needed some minor fixing (thanks, Grandpa!) and Grandma brought it down with her. There is a burger restaurant … Continue reading
Seattle Apartment – Before & After
Yesterday’s move from the apartment to the townhouse went well. Thankfully, the weather cooperated and there wasn’t any rain. We had two pickup trucks to haul our furniture and each truck took two trips, so we were done pretty quickly. The only casualty was a spare glass Pyrex measuring cup… and we had a few … Continue reading
We Have TV… and PBS!
Nick just finished hooking up the TV and components… and we’re very, very happy to report that we have PBS again! We don’t watch a ton of TV, so we just have an inexpensive indoor TV antenna that we use to pick up basic channels. PBS was the main channel we watched back in Michigan, … Continue reading
We’re Online
We just got our internet connection working and our computers are now set up! We’re fully online! We’re still working on unpacking and getting some boxes stashed in closets and storage areas. More posts coming later (with pics too)! 😀
Bye Bye, Apartment!
Just turned in our keys! We went over there this morning to pick up a few final things and do some last minute cleaning. We’re going to set up internet at our house today, so expect a longer blog post later.
Last Minute Packing
Our computers and computer desks are over at the house, so we are dependant on our phones for Internet access for now. We just finished packing our TV and our apartment is looking pretty bare. We found a box of graham crackers and a jar of applesauce, so at least we won’t starve lol!
Last Night at the Apartment
Nick and I have been spending today moving things over to our new house. I think we’ve done five trips so far, but Nick thinks it might be six. We’re pretty exhausted now and we’re taking a break to have Pagliacci Pizza for dinner. We were lucky this morning, because it wasn’t raining. After our … Continue reading
Volunteer Park Conservatory
The last two days have been really nice, sunny days with temperatures in the 70’s. Today, however, Margaret and Donna got to experience a cool, wet Seattle day. Nick and I spent the morning taking a load of boxes over to the house and setting up some things there. It’s really starting to feel like home. … Continue reading
Alki and Pike Place Market
This morning, we all went to West Seattle to meet up with Mom and Amanda. We got there a little early, so we stopped to take some pictures of downtown (see picture above – the Space Needle is orange “galaxy gold” in celebration of the Seattle World’s Fair 50th anniversary). We walked around Alki Beach … Continue reading
