Well, we are pretty well settled into the new house in Sequim. If you can call living out of boxes settled, then I would say we are 'home'. The new house is AMAZING. We have been taking advantage of the big yard and country life, and have lots of things planned for the summer.
Moving to Sequim was a great move for my little family unit. The daycare is great and close to the house. Both the kids seem to be adjusting and making new friends. The commute to work has been cut drastically. The house and yard are everything we could have hoped for.

The only downfall of moving to Sequim is that I did have to move away from our friends and our family. Yeah, yeah, Sequim isn't THAT far from Port Angeles. It isn't like it is another planet or anything. But visiting is just a bit more inconvenient, and the random drop-in visits I grew to love have obviously come to a screeching halt.
The first time I had the house to myself, I wasn't sure what to do with myself. Alden was with his dad. Elizabeth was in Seattle. I worked late the first night I had the house to myself. And even as quitting time drew nearer, I was trying to find ways to distract myself from the fact I was going home to an empty house. I decided to wander downstairs to have a drink before heading home.... and quickly realized that hanging out at a casino alone just isn't the thing I was looking for. So I headed home. To the empty house. I walked in the door, and even with the boxes surrounding me wasn't sure what to do with myself. So, what do I do to pass the time? Most of you know about my Craigs List addiction... haha!
I found a companion for myself via Craigs List that very night. A little terrier by the name of Han Solo. I was excited to drive down to Silverdale the next morning to pick him up. He was a little shy at first, but he came home with me and has settled into being spoiled rotten quite nicely.
Before taking him home, we made a stop at Petsmart to pick up all the necessities for him to be comfortable and happy. And wouldn't you know it? The CCHS was there with a bucketload of animals, all in need of homes. Alden and I browsed over them, not really with the intention of taking one home. But there he was. Little Jedi. He was a grey and white fuzzball with one blue eye, one green. I had to have him! He was there with his brother, Luke. And you know me, can't leave a man behind. : ) So Jedi and Luke came home with us as well. And they have already taken over the run of the house.
I think most of the people that read my blogs know about the TERRIBLE luck we seem to have with pets. But it has been a couple of weeks now, and everyone is happy, healthy and present. *whew* Hoping we will stay together as a family unit for a long time to come.
