By the way-we've moved!

So, by the way we moved to Washington! Spencer got an internship with NAVFAC which is most simply put the civilian engineering workforce of the Navy. Basically, he gets all the benefits of the navy and a government job without actually being in the navy. We live in Bremerton which is across the water from Seattle so on clear days we can actually go to the top of the city (which is where we live) and look over the water to see Seattle! And of course if any of you are Twilight fans, Forks is only 3 hours away! We haven't gone yet but we have plans to go this week when Spencer's family comes to visit. We did, however, make it as far as Port Angeles (another Twilight city) last weekend and one of the pictures posted is of Bella Italia, the restaurant where Bella and Edward supposedly had their first date. Anyway, we haven't taken many pictures while we've been here but we have dome some exploring. We visited Lake Cushman with some friends that go to School in Idaho also but were home here for their break. the boys jumped off a bridge and a rock into the lake and we went for a short hike to a close river that I was foolish enough to jump into. (Oh don't worry Robin, it's totally warm. psh) On the way to the river we found a HUGE fallen tree that was super cool. We also took a day to explore downtown Seattle which was fun. And it managed to stay dry until the very end of the day when we were on our way home. We took the "Ride the Ducks" tour which is a part land and part water tour with crazy but fun tour guides (see video). We also had plans to go to the Seattle Temple which is over an hour away, but realized in the parking lot that Spencer didn't have his recommend but we got some good pictures which is the start of a new goal of ours to take as many pictures in front of temples as we can! Anyway, hopefully I'll get in the habit of taking more pictures so I can publish more posts but I hope this finds everyone well!

Probably not a great idea to stand underneath this tree in a storm!


In the movie "10 Things I Hate About You" this is the park that Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles played painball in!





Spencer wanted to experience a true Seattle fish and chips meal
