It's Official..

My amazingly talented Andrew was offered an internship at Microsoft!
AND WE TOOK IT!
He flew out for an interview this week, and they couldn't wait a day to tell him they want him back. (:

..and we're SO EXCITED!!

That means the xbox 360's going to become our new best friend.
And it also means we'll be gone from Provo again all summer (May till August).
And it ALSO means we're going to have an AMAZING adventure!
Wheew.. time to take a quick breather, and then start packing, t-minus 4 weeks!

..Seattle, here we come!

PS. Can I just tell you how excited I'll be to be near an ocean again!? Oh my gosh. Do you see all that water up there!? I know it's not a surfer's best friend, but it's within DRIVING DISTANCE. Good ol' SALTY WATER! Oh and not to mention, a trip to Forks anyone?

Now, we get to find housing out there. Seattle friends & family.. keep your eyes peeled!

Oh and if anyone has Seattle in's and out's they wanna share, we want to hear all of it. We've stepped into the unknown and would love your two cents of what to do, where to be, all the goods and so forth.

WEEEEE!
(can you tell I'm a little giddy?)

PS. Boyfriend, you're a stud. I've been telling you that hard work would pay off. (:

We were in Seattle last summer for an internship too an absolutely loved it:) I would look for apartments in Redmond ridge which is near the Microsoft campus and the cheapest are about 950/month, but they're really nice. We might move to Snoqualmie next summer so I've scouted out places there. It's SUPER nice and close to redmond but cheaper than living in Redmond. Anyway, I did housing research in the Seattle area for about 8 months before we moved there so let me know any speific questions. Just shoot me an email:)

Oh my goodness luck you guys! You will LOVEEE seattle so much. You probably don't remember but thats where my family is from. Redmond- the actual home of Microsoft. Its fantastic there. YOu should look up my sister and be friends. She lives in Kirkland which is like 5 min from Redmond, 15 from seattle. Man, and seattle summers are thee best. You need to find people with ski boats to be friends with. Surfing isn't really big up there, but wakeboardin/waterskiing is. Its a fun place to be! I'm jealous! Congrats!
