Well - after a cross-country trip, Jeanne and I have arrived in Seattle.
We have a house to live in - at least temporarily. We are "caretakers" for a house that has been on the market for 400 days and can live here (very reasonably) until the house sells.
The house has BEAUTIFUL views and is a nice house. 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a family room and office.
Supposedly it is 4000 sq. feet, but we wound up with boxes and boxes of stuff that didn't fit! Guess we had more room in PA. We initiated the place with a little pizza party with Bill & Mary Ellen, Mike & Debbie's family and Bob and Lucy. It's so GREAT to be so close to everyone.
The back of the house is pretty much all windows which makes for spectacular views of the Puget Sound and Olympic mountains.
Emmy has bee able to see her cousins more in a couple days than in a couple years. Jeanne and I had lunch on Friday with Hal and Claudia Bennett. We have missed them sooo much. We went to Ivar's on the water front in Seattle and loved the food and company.
Of course at the same time we miss our friends in PA and hope many of you will visit us in Seattle! I'll update the next blog with pictures of the house FURNISHED!

Church isn't the same without you. This sunday was the first sunday without you, we were on vacation there, and it was a little lonely not watching the back of your family and you and Jeanne whispering. You also missed a great testimony meeting, my favorite all year probably.
Glad you arrived safely. Your house is beauitful!!! I agree w/ Mary-- you're already missed.
You guys don't make this any easier. I love the Whitings and the Campbells! Nevertheless, I'm consoling myself by looking out the window as I type, peering over the Puget Sound to examine the Olympic Mountain Range in the distance, feeling the cool, marine, breeze drift through the house with all it's wonderous sensations and smells. It's helping, but I still miss you all!
