Its happening....

No use in beating around the bush so,
I'll just drag this out....

For a long time now my husband and I had at the goal of moving. Ideally it was moving into a new place. We've definitely outgrown our First Apartment here in Washington State. But we've also outgrown exploring here. I know there is still hidden gems everywhere but for the most part we've seen a great chunk of it over the past 11 years. YES ELEVEN YEARS!!! Even talking to some of my coworkers that have come and gone, I couldn't believe how long they have lived here and haven't even set foot in Seattle!! That's literally a short drive away.

So fast forward to January, when we got the brief news of my husband's company closing locations down and having small job openings for the mass amount of people who work in that building. We became worried. In January, my husband had just hit his one year mark with the company. What would that mean for a seasoned worker...Would my husband even have a chance to stay with the company? Over the months we got little bits of more information. How the moves will go? When to apply for the lateral move? When you will find out if you got a position?

Fast forward to April, my husband landed two job offers and after much deliberation he accepted the offer for the promotion.

WE ARE MOVING TO AZ!!!

I cannot believe it. I am so proud of him and super excited for our next journey.

This will be our first major move together. When I first moved up here, it was just a rental car packed with my belongings (I didn't have much). And over the years we've accumulated more things than we needed. We will definitely be doing some major cleaning, selling, and donating. This is the only beginning!!!

New Look, New Outlook.

Good Morning! Literally. I'm not a morning person and I've never been (lord knows I try!) but by forces of nature I woke up before 8am today. I'm feeling quite proud. Seeing as its now 8:22am but that's besides the point. About a week ago my husband and I took a mini trip/retreat along the Olympic Peninsula here in the beautiful PNW. Our final destination (in fact most of our stops along the way as well) were a "no mobile service" area. It was very interesting and relaxing being away from social media, internet, and crowds of people. Something that we both enjoy quite often. During that trip, it reminded me to appreciate more people time. Time with loved ones. So much distraction in today's society and yes, technology has made so many things and ideas possible but we can't forget to enjoy Life, savor moments, and just appreciate the company you are with. I hope that more people start to get back into that one on one interaction with people.

Anyways, before I get sidetracked again :-P I really just wanted to say that I hope to write more blogs to document and be able to remember some amazing events this year. I already write in my own journal think it would be nice to actually get back into blogging. We'll see!!! No promises. This past month has been a whirlwind! Can you believe its already June??? That's half of 2015 already gone and passed us by. I really hope everyone is enjoying Life and being able to be your best selves. And just BE HAPPY!!! :) Okay, so essentially since this is just an update post I better do what I do best and make a list of good points lately. I'm no good making this even remotely witty or interesting. Best of Luck to all graduates this year too :):):)

What I've Done This Past Months:

- Explored more of WA

- Rode Mopeds on a Beach with my husband:)

(First time and it was EPIC!!!!)- Tried a new haircut

(LOB - Long bob with soft blended layers, I am LOVING IT)- Hiked a mountain in Central Oregon

Umm....drawing more blanks lol (I need coffee)

Servus!

Guten Tag! I had one of the most amazing adventures this past weekend and although I am crunched for time at the moment I thought I would give you a sneak peek:)

5th Year Wedding Anniversary:)

Today is officially our 5 year wedding anniversary!!! Ahhh we made it:) And we'll keep on going strong!!! I cannot believe it... In fact I have no idea what to really say. I have waited for this moment and it has finally  come. I really feel that we have overcome a lot throughout the five years. We overcame my fear of starting a new life. We overcame the fears of moving in together (Although I don't think we even had much fear at all). We overcame all the years and holidays that the "Military Life" had kept us apart. And not to mention our own worst fears of ourselves and each other. This year in particular has truly been the best because he is here for every holiday... or everyday in general. It feels really good to have him home. I remember how it all began like it was yesterday. How I never had the intentions to find someone that I would spent the rest of my time with. But then I found him and all the pieces fell right into place. My husband is truly an amazing guy. And I hope that he doesn't doubt any second that I love him with all my might:)
