a general update.

So we have obviously been pretty bad at keeping up with the blog, but now that we have our own internet up and (mostly) running we will try our best to post more often. Making the apartment feel like home took 3 trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond, 2 trips to Ikea, 4 trips to our local (amazing) thrift store, and too many trips to the grocery store to count (Laura was quick to learn that the Trader Joe's & Madison Market Co-op are only a block apart)! We also had some pretty crucial finds on Craigslist, that once Keith got his (new) car, were easily hauled in at a decent price.
Here is Keith with his shnazzzy, ridiculously efficient, "it fit in the fit!" Honda Fit.


So our first week? Was spent doing all of the above, and hanging out with Laura's two friends from home (Tom and Kevin) who also live in Seattle. Some fun things? We went to the gallery openings at Pioneer Square (first thursday nights), of course checked out the local beer scene, and ate some yummy vegetarian food.

Our second week here had an exciting start, as our good pals Nick & Emily arrived at our place on Wednesday night, the first of their three nights with us. We will post more about what we did with them (especialy once we get their pics, hint, hint)! Some highlights though were checking out the ferry ride to Bainbridge Island, Gasworks Park in Fremont, Mighty-o Donuts for some amazing vegan, organic donuts, and of course more of the local beer scene! Check out their fancy shmancy blog for more info about their trip and better pictures then we took.



Finally, we are really excited today because in only a few hours Brian, Jess, & Cheshire will arrive in Seattle! We both hope that lil' Chesh is behaving herself on the plane ride as she earns her first wings.

Well, that is all for now, but check back again soon for more pictures and better updates.

ps- if you didn't get a chance to see keith's new tatto, check it out!
