It has now been 6 days since I moved to Seattle and SOOOO much has happened. I got my apartment and its amazing. Just enough space to make it usable and nice, but no misused space. It is in an amazing location. There is a target, a Fred Meyers, a Whole Foods, a Safeway, and a Panera, not to mention an entire shopping mall and music store near by.
I had an interesting time with spiders the first few nights I lived here. I spent a lot of time killing them and they actually had to come and fumigate. These are not your normal spiders... these are large 2 inch in diameter HAIRY spiders... yep like tarantulas only a bit thinner!!
On Thursday I went to Tacoma to pick up my sofas, which are gorgeous btw!, and got the cargo van I rented stuck in the sand... fortunately for me people in Seattle are so nice that two guys just came and towed me out... FOR FREE!!!! But people in Seattle really just are the nicest people in possibly the world, at least the world I have visited.
I also have an interview scheduled for a position at the Seattle Conservatory, but I pretty much have it because I have been asked to sub for them already. So its merely a matter of meeting with the faculty and administration and making sure that we are a good fit.
Finally I began the weekend single and ended it in a relationship. I am now officially Tom's girlfriend... holly cow!! And let me tell you I am a lucky lady...
So let us recap, in less than a week, I have moved states, found a job, furnished and apartment and begun a wonderful relationship... I think I am going to like it here! :)
