A Few New Jingles on My Key Ring

Well, Jans and I picked up the keys to our new place. It is pretty much awesome and I can't wait to post some pictures and make everyone jealous. It is a two bedroom condo we are renting from some amazing landlords (example: 3-ring binder with contact numbers, FAQ and appliance manuals).

It is located on 13th Ave E (the "East" is really important) a few blocks in one direction from Broadway and a few blocks in the other from 15th. Within walking distance or a very short bus ride is a couple grocery stores, movie theaters, coffee shops, bars, restaurants and various other places. Downtown Seattle is also only a bus ride away. 

If you want to come visit you are more than welcome, just give us a heads up. Currently we have a dresser and a coffee table so you might want to wait until we get a couch or at least a couple of chairs.

Ahhh, Washington.

That is the best title you'll get out of me right now. 

Anyhow, because certain siblings have been pestering me, I shall update my blog by adding some pictures.

This picture was taken when my brother Matt was here in August. We went to a Moroccan restaurant and had a delicious five course dinner.
What would be the point of moving to Seattle if I missed the Puyallup Fair?
And what is the point of the Fair if you don't see curly haired cows?
Of course, cows in general fascinate me. As do fluffy chickens...
I had a great time at the Fair and even got to ride on a ferris wheel and a roller coaster. We had traditional fair food. Corndogs, elephant ears and cotton candy.

Washington

I am told this has been and extra-ordinary fall as far as nice weather has gone. I am sure it has something to do with my presence here. 

Those of you who have ever owned indoor cats will probably find this funny. For those of you who will never know the joy of cat-companionship (I am thinking here of my sisters), other pieces of poetry from The Daily Rhyme might interest you. 

Janson and I have been looking at apartments recently. It involves a lot of leg-work and unfortunately we have yet to stumble across a perfect place (in our price range). However, we have found a mostly perfect place and I think we are going to start the application process.
