Good bye Seattle, Hello Wenatchee

This anticipation of our move to Wenatchee has been long time coming, but regardless of how mentally ready you may feel or how much time you have to plan and prepare, you never really are ready to say goodbye, see you later! We are going to miss Seattle so much... from the quaint coffee shops on every corner, greenery everywhere you look, Puget Sound, rainy days, cool temperatures that allow for outdoor play mid-day, GREENLAKE (I miss that place just thinking about it), University Village... but mostly the friends and family that were so close by. 

Two days after Evan took the bar exam we were all packed up and ready to go.  With the help of my parents, Lucie & Quinn and Allison & Travis, we loaded up the Uhaul and started our long caravan over the pass.  Welcoming us were sunny skies, beautiful sunshine, golden sage hils, the Columbia river passing through the valley... a completely different kind of beauty.  But most importantly, both sets of Elise's grandparents and our parents are here!  We are so excited to be so close, only minutes drive to each, and that is absolutely priceless.

It is going to be a transition for us, but we are gradually unpacking and settling into our new place.  A cute little home with three times the square footage of our place in Seattle.  Evan starts work at a local law firm at the end of the month and I will start in October at a PT clinic in East Wenatchee, so until then we have the month of August to play! 

On our last day we took one last stroll at GL and documented every corner;)

Can't wait to take Elise to this wading pool next year.

    
Even Spanish Lessons grandpa will be missed.

Grandma Connie made a delicious Uhaul cake for Evan's, Lucie's and Petr's triple birthday celebration!
 Elise is loving pool time!
