Our apartment is perfect (for us), and we love our ward. The neighborhood is so safe and cozy--we don't feel that we're in the city at all. (Very different from last summer--we had a very urban place.)
Also, Michael is loving his job, which is the key element.
We've dived (doven?) right in at church too. I've already sub-ed in the Primary, we're doing a ward temple trip tomorrow, I've been to one enrichment with another one on Saturday, and the Bishopric is stopping by tonight to visit us. Also, we're having the missionaries over to teach us a discussion on Saturday.
Wow. No wonder I'm tired. When I put into words, I'm doing a lot.
As for the home front, I'm grinding wheat and baking bread Little Red Hen style. I've been "grocery store shopping" the past few weeks. That is to say, I'm shopping for a grocery store. I've found a few good ones, but now it's time to price compare! :)
Otherwise, I've been working on getting up earlier so I can have some time to myself before Nathanael's up, as well as reading the Book of Mormon in that time. It's an uphill battle, but I'm still climbing! :)
It is amazing how not-new I feel. It seems like I remember so many people from last summer! That part is very good news! :) Well, I guess I get to go back to making our clean-out-the-produce-drawer-before-it-goes-bad dinner.
This moment has been duly noted, and will be deducted on your timecard, "That is all." (Michael, do you ever read this--'cause you're the only one laughing. Well, maybe I'll send a link to Peter too.)
And, my photos for the day.

I am glad to hear that you are off to a good, comfortable start in Seattle! I love those pictures of Nathaniel too! Did you take them?
You sound busy but happy. That is great that your apartment is perfect that is always a relief! I laughed at the time card deduction(maybe not for the right reason) :D
Bethany,
I am still shopping for a good grocery store. I have tried all extremes, from Grocery Outlet on Aurora to QFC to driving to Renton for the WinCo Foods (it's the best, believe me). Let me know what you have found and I'll do the same. Happy shopping!
Thanks for all your comments!
Bridget-
Yes, I did take the shots of Nathanael. My brother-in-law gave us a Canon Rebel for Christmas last year, so it's pretty hard to take a bad picture! :)
Kirsten-
The time card thing is from a movie, but if you're laughing, I don't care why! :)
Tara-
Thanks for visiting my blog! :) I have tried Whole Foods Market in the Denny Triangle, as well as the Thriftway in Magnolia. I usually buy my produce at the farmer's market on Saturdays (until October, that is). I also do some shopping at Costco. So far, it's a hodge-podge. But I'm planning a trip to WinCo when I visit my friends in Kent!
